htacess questions - hotlink issues (and a pic!)
 

My photogallery software keeps all versions of images in the same directories. Thumbs, full sized and originals.

I want to let google and others hotlink the thumbs, but not the other sizes.

The thumbs are all named like "thumb_005_originalimagename.jpg"

Can I do something in htaccess to allow hotlinking of thumb*.jpg while blocking the others?

Thanks in advance!

Jesse Capelli is so hot!

couldn't you use robots.txt to specify that ???

Don't some image spiders hotlink the pics? robots will say "go for it", but htaccess won't let them have them.
