Download Many Photos at Once

W Thorne

Clients are able to download individual photos as needed. But is it possible for a client to select many (or all photos in a gallery) photos at the same time and download these? I have a few clients that are complaining on how slow it is to download one photo at a time.

Thanks for the help.

Are you referring to selling digital downloads? I believe this was recently added. Ah, just found the release notes - http://news.smugmug.com/2010/07/22/bulk-digital-downloads-full-screen-slideshow-and-packages-improvements-bug-fixes/.

From the help page at http://www.smugmug.com/help/sell-digital-downloads:

After checking out, your customers can retrieve their downloads by clicking the links we send them. If they bought at least four photos, they can retrieve them in bulk. We'll wrap their purchases into a zip file and send them an email when it's ready.

If you're asking about downloads for free, take a look at # 9 in jfriend's Collection of javascript customizations (but I believe this option is an image at a time, not what you asked for).

Thanks for the response. I didn't give you enough information, my fault.

These clients pay me a fee for doing the service. They do not pay for the images by downloading them. I'm looking for a way to put them on my SmugMug site, then they can go in and download all instead of one at time.

Thanks.

Have you looked at the Bulk Download? You would trigger the creation of a zip file by SmugMug. Once the file is complete, SmugMug sends you a link that you could forward to your client. I am on iPod or would put in link to help text. I use the feature to transmit photos to Visigoths.

I'm not aware of them. Could you please send me a link when you get a chance. Thanks for the help.

This should provide the information you are looking for http://www.smugmug.com/help/gallery-tools-menu I have used the feature a few times (although I am stumped what auto correct replaced with Visigoths) it works well.

Thanks Brad. I think that will work. Thanks again.
