I am wanting to place a small button under each thumbnail (and main picture) but which files do I need to edit?
Locate the templates you need to change in the sample theme's theme.php, copy them to your theme.php and modify your copy. Look for
// HTML template for thumbnails display
and
// HTML template for intermediate image display
Managed to do that, however i Have a query, how would I insert the picture filename, into a form fields value?
eg. I would need the filename instead of the ########
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="########">
Depends on where you want to use that piece of code.
What I am trying to do is sell my photo's on my site, I have all the code etc to use paypal (places a Buy Now button below the picture), however I need to insert the photo's filename as a URL parameter when passing the paypal details to paypal.

Actually, there's a load of mods that do what you're trying to accomplish. Why not try one of them instead of re-inventing the wheel?
