Miles - I'm interested to know your rationale for that approach, which
I always used to follow, but find a helper so much more convenient
when you want to make a minor adjustment to the image size.
That's quite a common way of thinking about upload processing.
Why would you run logic each time you want to point at an image - instead of once when you upload it such that your helper/image logic is only "the $size thumbnail for that file is here: "$domain/$path.$size.$ext"?
What happens when you find you need a different size for whatever
reason? Do you simply have a function that lets you regenerate all
images to a certain size, presuming you keep the originally uploaded
image?
Personally, I would always maintain a pristine, or largest-used-size image/file to be able to regenerate versions at any time.
