Extracting Image as Thumbnail

Question

Hello,
I tried to extract thumbnail image from MDM using the following method:
//declare CatalogCache object
CatalogCache catalogCache = new CatalogCache();
//declare disc path
String path = "C:
Temp
cache";
//initialize catalogCache (this require it's own
//connection)
int rc = catalogCache.Init(<MDME server name>,
<repository port>, <user name>, <password>, path,
regionTag);
if (rc != RC.RC_OK) throw new StringException
(RC.GetTextForError(rc));
//save the file and return the file path
String imagePath = catalogCache.GetImagePath
("Images", "Thumbnail",
<image id>);
but when I display that in web Dynpro's I see the (Thumbnail)image of the <b>same size</b> as that of the (Original)image which is extracted by using the CatalogData.GetBlob() method.
Appreciate any help.
Many thanks,
Dharmi

The values for the following fields are set by default, while adding the images to the Images table.
While adding the image to the Images table through MDM Client it has 2 options(radio buttons).
1. Store in repository.
2. Link to original file only.
When you select the first option, by default
Original in Repository is set to TRUE.
and also
Has Thumbnail is set to TRUE.
When you select the second option, by default
Original in Repository is set to FALSE.
and
Has Thumbnail is set to TRUE.
Once the values are set by default based on the selection you choose while adding the image, You can not change it back. I mean TRUE to FALSE or FALSE to TRUE. This is what I noticed in Client.

When you select the Images table from the top left corner of the MDM Client Window, the records will be displayed in the Records pane, there by selecting each record you can see the values for the fields ("Original in Repository" and "Has Thumbnail") in the Record Detail pane.
Hope this answers your question.
