Download all gallery - new feature #74

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Please consider adding a lightbox new icon "save all" to disk.
Configure the same as the current option SAVE.

Wherever the galleries may be available for download, such as tutorials, test 
images Trials, open galleries, etc..

Best Regards!

While this idea sounds practical, I have some reservations against the proposed 
approach.

"Save all" belongs to the gallery, not a specific image. This means that "Save 
all" should not appear as an additional button in the lightbox pop-up window 
but rather above or below the preview images on the webpage where all the 
images are seen. "Save all" also requires an icon distinguishable from that of 
"Save".

From the above, it follows that the same configuration option cannot (or should 
not) be used both for "Save" and "Save all".

From a development perspective, the "Save all" feature also has the consequence 
that all images to be downloaded must be packed in a single archive file (ZIP 
file) because the browser can only download one file at a time (initiated by a 
single request). This ZIP file has to be stored somewhere on the server (at 
least until the user downloads it), and might have to be removed automatically 
once it is no longer needed. This entails investment of considerable 
development effort, with rather limited potential in terms of ease-of-use, as 
far as I can see.

The fact that the icon "save an entire gallery to disk" should not only be in 
the lightbox.
More work - yes, definitely yes.
ZIP packages on the server - for me:
* You should indicate where files are stored. Zip SigPlus generally in the 
configuration to be able to easily manage the files in one place on the server, 
such as FTP.
The specified directory photo galleries and a separate catalog.

* If I have a place to take pictures that I have room for additional ZIP files.

* The ability to download the entire ZIP package is identical to the ability to 
download a single photo.

* Download entire gallery is an additional new parameter galleries. 
Individually I can decide which photos can be downloaded as a zip.

* SIgPlus must keep information about the content of the latest ZIP package and 
for updating the gallery to build a new pack of ZIP.

* Pack ZIP gallery should not be generated again when there is a ZIP package.

It is contrary to idea of ​​SIGPlus? - For me, the functionality of saving 
the whole gallery is not an exaggeration. This is a step into the so-called. 
"Buy" or "favofites" <in future :)> and it can be as a separate appendix to 
SigPlus.

Regards!
