Bring Back Download Feature For Individual Images By Itself

NY2LA

I know people wanted the new feature for downloading all images in a gallery, and it certainly makes sense. But I was happy with having a download feature (the downward pointing arrow icon) for individual images only. In fact, I didn't want the Download All button when it appeared on my galleries by default. It is distracting and sends the wrong message, because I want people to spend time exploring my SmugMug website, instead of thinking they are supposed to download images for offline viewing. And then I want them to be able to download specific images they may select. (And contrary to some photographers who sell their work, I want to encourage downloading of my original images, not the smaller display sizes.)

So I went into the settings for each gallery, and disabled visitor downloads. Well, I didn't realize disabling visitor downloads had the unintended consequences of removing the download feature (the downward pointing arrow icon) for individual images until several weeks had passed. I request that you distinguish between enabling the feature for downloading individual images, and downloading all images in a gallery. I would like to be able to enable that downward pointing arrow for individual images, without enabling the Download All button on my galleries.

If you leave gallery downloads set to ON you can disable the button by using the following CSS. This will leave the single image download button intact

/* Hide the Download All button */
.sm-gallery-download-button {
    display: none !important;
}

fyi: I used to have the above CSS and it worked just fine until some point it didn't.... This evening I contacted the superheroes and they instructed me to replace .sm-gallery-download-button with .sm-gallery-cover-download-button (keeping everything else the same) -- and now the "download all" button is once again hidden.

With this individual download, how do we specify which size download they get go do, and with or without watermark?

They'll always get the Originals. We have a feature request from a number of customers to have a setting to control the size and watermark and it's something we'd love to add one day.
