Is there anyway to obtain the direct path of an image? I ask this because using the current code that links to an image can cause me trouble when posting in message boards. Thanks.

use url rewrite module to get urls that end with .jpg etc.
if you secure your data as recommended by putting g2data dir outside of your document root then there is no url to directly access the image file.
