I'm looking for more information on writeTo() function. I want to be able to change the names of resampled images for SEO purposes and I'm wondering how to properly set the the writeTo function on an extended image class:

function generateSmallimage($gd) {
   $gd->writeTo("this.jpg");
   $gd->resizeRatio(150,150);
   return $gd;
   }

The class documentation doesn't provide much direction on the actual use of the function.

EDIT

After a little more playing around with code pulled from the IMage Object I've gotten this far


function generateSmallimage($gd) {
	   
	   //Get asset Folder
	   $folder = $this->ParentID ? $this->Parent()->Filename : ASSETS_DIR . "/";
	   
	   //Get Current Filename
	   $filename = $this->Name;
	   
	   //Get Extension
	   $ext = strtolower(substr($filename, strrpos($filename,'.')+1));
	   
	   //set new path and filename;
	   $newFilename = $folder . "_resampled/my-file-name." . $ext;
			   
	  $smallImage = $gd->resizeRatio(150,150);
	  $smallImage = $smallImage->writeTo($newFilename);
	  
	  
      return $smallImage;
   }

This will generate a resized image in the correct folder, but it still returns a link to a filename titled smallImage-originalFilename

Cheers,
