Batch update image preview icons

While copying a CD full of images to my hard drive, I noticed all the thumbnails were the old 16x16 format of OS 9. I wanted to change them to the 128x128 format to get a better preview option in OS X, but I couldn't find a hint for it on the web or here. However, a little investigating paid off.
Apparently Graphic Converter (see Hall of Fame Apps box at left) does this operation quite easily. Go to File -> Convert and then navigate to the folder containing the files whose icons you wish to update. Select all (Command A) and then click on Icon/Preview.
All the files you have selected will be updated to the 128x128 icon preview. Be sure to set the icon size for your window to the maximum to get the full effect.
