source image filename to smugmug photo ID?

mtrcycllvr@Yahoo.COM

If that title makes sense..

Issue, trying to use smugmug as a base for tools like HoudahGeo to create google earth kml files with track logs and links to information including photos hosted from smugmug.

Makes for a lightweight thing to send around that tells a map textured story..

My problem is that there is nothing left of the original filename in the smugmug photo index. Is there a process at installation time that I can somehow automatically create an index of "$LOCAL_FILESYS_file.jpg" = $SOMEURL_211819465_4fFND".. I can then use sed or awk to "fix" the file generated automatically with local file references to point at my smugmug hosted photos..

Making sense? Late and a few too many beers.. :wink

Doing this by hand is painful, oh so painful.. There must be a way, right?

Oh, background of possible interest:
Max OS X 10.4.11, PPC, safari, firefox, etc..

Thanks for any thoughts!

The original filename is part of the photo information, see the "FileName" field in the response to the smugmug.images.get query.

Hopefully the tool in which you used to upload the photo is properly setting this field, I know there are some out there that do not do that...
