Listing "Share" links in bulk?

Hello,

If I want to display, say, 10 images into a forum post using the url obtained by using the SHARE->GET A LINK feature, is there a more effective way than individually selecting a photo, then clicking SHARE, then clicking the link to copy the size you want, then repeating as necessary?

Similar to many of the other bulk features in SmugMug, I would love to have the ability to view a single bulk-oriented page that displays, for example, all of the "large" urls next to a thumbnail for every image in my gallery. Then i can copy and paste all from that one source page over to my destination without so much navigating back and forth through my gallery.

Perhaps there is an API app that does this? I searched but could not find anything.

Cheers!

    How about this sequence for each image you want. Not elegant, but perhaps quicker than what you are doing:
    • Go to Smugmug view for the gallery in question.
    • Find an image you want
    • Right click on the thumb and select Copy Image Location (in Firefox)
    • Paste that into your forum posting (this is a link to a thumbnail at the moment, but hang with me)
    • Rinse, lather, repeat for each image you want
    Then, go back to your forum posting and change the -Th.jpg at the end of each image URL to whatever image size you want like -L.jpg. (The sizes are S, M, L, XL, X2, X3). So, if http://jfriend.smugmug.com/photos/344291068_HdnTo-Th.jpg was the URL you got by right clicking on the thumb, you'd change it to http://jfriend.smugmug.com/photos/344291068_HdnTo-L.jpg to show the L size of that image.
