The Update Asset Indexes feature makes Craft re-index your asset sources, for example if an asset had been uploaded to the site outside of Craft (FTP etc), running this would get the file(s) showing in Craft. I believe that running this will not trigger the image transformation process for images that have already been indexed.

<p>Aside from Defining Transforms in the template (<a href="http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/image-transforms" rel="nofollow">http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/image-transforms</a>) is there a way to go back and trigger an image transformation?</p>

<p>We've got a number of assets that have been uploaded to rackspace that need image an image transformation but the transformation was created after the images were uploaded.</p>

<p>Is there a way to kick this off?</p>

Aside from Defining Transforms in the template (<http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/image-transforms>) is there a way to go back and trigger an image transformation?

We've got a number of assets that have been uploaded to rackspace that need image an image transformation but the transformation was created after the images were uploaded.

Is there a way to kick this off?
