Plogger is great, but I was wondering if it will be possible to protect the fullsize image files of my photos. I want to show the thumbnails and previews so people can browse but could there be a way of not including the full pictures? Apart from protecting the copyright and usage of my photos, I'm worried that uploading very many will also use up a lot of my disk space. Can Plogger be configured to generate the thumbs and previews but delete the main file once it's done? If someone is interested in the full image I'd rather they emailed me than just copy it to their hard drive...

The preview you get after clicking the thumbnail can be set to be about as large as I reckon my viewers will need to see, so I was just thinking that the next stage where you click to go bigger seems unnecessary in my case as it just lets people take away a good res version of the file.

I see what you mean about batch converting the files before I upload and I think that's what I'll do (It's a shame to put that extra step into the process as I had uploaded directly from my iPhoto library) but then clicking the preview will show you the picture again with no discernable benefit, plus the file will still be recorded 3 time on the server. Perhaps an option could be included to disable this last "click" and then the original versions could be removed somehow. (I could do this cleanup periodically via FTP from the "images" directory)

My test gallery is www.holster.co.uk/photos but it's pretty basic!

Sorry, it's only a fussy point, Plogger really is great, I've been so impressed by it!]]>

Either that, or you could use htaccess to control access to the larger version. This would result in a username/password prompt appearing when people click the larger version. Perhaps a little messy, but it makes the point that larger images are available if you request access. I dont know what kind of site you run, but you might choose to furnish your friends or family with passwords so they could freely grab the larger versions, while everyone else gets access denied.

That's what I'm intending to do with mine (once I get a little problem resolved as posted in another thread).

Truth be told, you could pretty easily find the code fragment responsible for that last hyperlink, and remove it (or replace it with a litte javascript popup informing people that larger images are available on request).... but I'm not sure the plogger staff would like us messing with their work in such a manner.

Good luck]]>
