[TxMt] FlickrMate with Image Preview

[Brett Terpstra]

Okay, I've got all of the output going to the HTML Output window and  
I'll worry about formatting later.  I'm stuck on the javascript to  
get text back to the edit window, so I'll take any pointers there.   
However, here's why it's not as elegant as what I've got:

The image preview url is built off of an *almost* sure-thing address  
based on farm, server, secret and default variables.  Some of the  
other image sizes may or may not exist.  The API call that returns  
the list of images does not return their sizes, each image has to be  
individually queried to find out what sizes it's available in and  
what the address for that size is.  So making an HTML output window  
that doesn't require a second step requires guessing on the size  
parameter and, with my limited knowledge of the possibilities, I  
don't see a way to make it work consistently.  Any thoughts?  Besides  
running size queries on every image returned in a set?

Thanks,
Brett
