[support] Manually optimizing an image folder

[Neil Coghlan]

that's what I too suspected, but then found this:

http://drupal.org/node/675616

saying it was a bad idea to manually alter/overwrite anything in the 
/files folder

alternatively, is there any quick way of re-submitting images through 
the imagecache module so that the new values get written to the DB. 
Doing it one by one would be too painful.
