I see you are using iPhoto to display your cat pictures and your other albums and you are using the option to stop people downloading your images.

But did you know that anyone that wants to can download the images, copy, put them into their own iPhoto, make them a desktop image or even print them by just right clicking and putting them into a new window. I could take yours and others who publish pictures in the same way on the web with iPhoto or Aperture.

So don’t be fooled the download option doesn’t work. Just try it yourself and you will see what I mean!

whump: James, the download option on albums in iPhoto allows the creator to make higher resolution originals of the images in the album available for download, rather than the lower resolution web derivatives iPhoto generates for display. For example:

So yes, you might be downloading my cat images, but at a lower resolution than the original photos, unless I enable it.

@Carl: It’s actually a bit tricky to do that on a per-album basis since the application doesn’t do a page load when switching between albums. Non-JS aware auto-discovery probably wouldn’t catch the changes to the link element in the document’s head.

@Bill: Charles is pulling together more documentation as I type.

Where is the SC documentation or support forum? The wiki has got some basic info but not enough to build an app from. And why did puling it from svn get me the entire Rails source too?!

Why do the galleries have a button for feed, but not a link rel=”alternate” type=”application/atom+xml” for the feed? Auto-discovery is cool, yo.
