Getting links to wikipedia images

I'm trying to extract the links to all the images in the wikipedia, without losing the image names and probably the alt tags. I got to know from

How do I get link to an image on wikipedia from the infobox?

that I could get it by querying: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:filename.jpg However, to do this I need to get all the filenames of the images. Any clues?

Thanks!

this gives the list of all image urls and file names also in the page

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=World&generator=images&gimlimit=10&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=url|dimensions|mime&format=json

change the title= part
