I dont know anything about the plugin, but resizing can be simply done with imagemagick.
F.I. put these lines in a bash script and execute it: for file in `ls *.jpg`
do

        convert -scale 140x140 $file klein/$file done

Thats it, it resizes every jpg file in the folder you startet it to 140x140 and copies it to the "klein" directory.

You could put some things around it, like writing a simple html page into a file.
Just as an idea what imagemagick and bash can do for you.
