When using Lightroom to upload to SmugVault, can it intelligently replace JPEG with RAW?

Question

I recently got the Smugvault and thought it would be great to upload all of my Raw files to the site via Lightroom. Now, I'm fairly new with both products, so I missed one thing when I setup the Publish plugin for SmugMug. I left the default to upload JPEG's instead of the original file format.

I created a series of smart galleries to find Raw files from specific years and upload them. I caught my mistake part way through, but now I have mostly JPEG's uploaded instead of the Raw images.

Is there a way to update which file was uploaded, or am I better deleting the smart galleries and starting from scratch? It didn't take long, but would be nice if I could just tell it to update/republish and actually have it adapt to the new setting. Currently it's just leaving the JPEG's in place and uploading the Raw files for all new pictures.

I don't think its possible to replace like you want. But, you can upload the raw files and as long as the filenames are exactly the same, the raws will be automatically bundled with the jpgs. Try going to the Lightroom publish settings and change the format to upload original. Then publish the images to the galleries. It might work if the filenames are the same.
