Yes, I agree, the batch conversions utility of fireworks is fantastic without it, resizing and optimizing thumbs would last much much longer. Fireworks is a great program indeed.
Also I remember renaming the thumbs and pics with a great program called renamemaster...
There are lots of good utilities out there
