Ability to shield images and video's from downloading

Post by Eddie »

When you right click on an image or video, you are able to download the video or image. It would be great if there was a way, possibly a plugin, to protect these items from being able to be downloaded in both galleriffic and the regular image page.

Unfortunately there is no practical means to accomplish this. After all, for the image/video to display on the browser screen it has already been downloaded to the computer. There are javascript tools that can disable the right-click, but they are easily bypassed and besides disabling the right-click impairs the user experience.
