using the FilePaths plugin

[Justin Huff]

Matt,

10 days ago I posted a plugin (FIDQuery) that might be useful It allows 
you to query for the domain/key of a given FID. Handy for debugging.

FilePaths looks to be more about mapping a file hierarchy onto mogile keys.

If you're just wanting to get paths that actually contain the key in the 
URL, you're probably out of luck.
