I have many users that complain about my pictures not printing well, and I have to constantly remind them to open the full size image before clicking the download. It would be a great feature if there was a site setting that would associate the download icon exclusively with the full size image.

I think that's an excellent suggestion. I will seriously consider it.

Can I second this? This is one of my top two complaints - and the list is not much longer :-)

This feature is in the roadmap for the 2.3 release, due in 2009.

Excellent!

For those that want this feature, don't want to wait until 2009, and don't mind recompiling, here's where to change the functionality to always download the full size/rez image (quick and dirty, no nice administrative menu option):

In gsweb\uc\MediaObjectView.ascx.cs, change the bolded parts below in method DownloadMediaObjectToUser():

Quote:

if ((isMediaObjectImage) && (!this.ViewHiResImage) && (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(mediaObject.Original.FileNamePhysicalPath)))
{
// Grab optimized version if the object is an image, the user is requesting the optimized version, and
// the optimized version has a valid filepath. (There may not be a valid filepath for those images that Gallery Server
// can't create an optimized version for; corrupted images, for example.)
displayObject = mediaObject.Original;
}
