Firstly what an awesome job Media and Media_Gallery are evolving into something brilliant, and I would hope that it can be enhanced even further to cater for a need i have.

I hope this is clear, what i am after. If not please let me know. I am very new to Drupal and there is a huge learning curve, so if this is possible then please let me know. Or if there is a way i can achive this myself then please also let me know.

I would like to be able to associate a number of styles with the uploaded image, such as original and web. For example when i upload say file 1pip.jpg, it gets stored as:

default\files\styles\original\1pip.jpg and
default\files\styles\web\1pip.jpg

I would further like to be able to give a user the ability to download all images within a gallery, or selected images within a gallery.

When the use selects the gallery to download, or individual images, I would further yet like to be able to select the associated styles with the image(s) and hence give the user the ability to download images in varying sizes. When selecting the styles to download, these would apply to all mages downloaded, rather than giving the option of selecting styles per indiuvidual image.

for example, assume we have 2 galleries as below, and the user selects to download all the images from both galleries.

_ __
|x| |x| download images
-- --
----------- -----------
| | | |
|Gallery 1 | | Gallery 2 |
| | | |
----------- -----------

download images link would bring up styles popup

Styles to download
_
|_| original
|_| web

To take the download one step further, I would like to be able to zip these files up, such that only one file is actually downloaded containing all the images.

Zip file

Name: Gallery (user changeable)
Contents: Gallery Name/style/image

fx

Gallery

Gallery 1/original/image1.jpg
Gallery 1/original/image2.jpg
Gallery 1/web/image1.jpg
Gallery 1/web/image2.jpg

Gallery 2/original/image3.jpg
Gallery 2/original/image4.jpg
Gallery 2/web/image3.jpg
Gallery 2/web/image4.jpg

Where the user only wants to download selected images from a gallery, the process would be very similar.

Assume user selects Gallery 1

Gallery 1

_ __
|x| |x| download images
-- --
----------- -----------
| | | |
|Image1 | | Image 2 |
| | | |
----------- -----------

download images link would bring up styles popup

Styles to download
_
|_| original
|_| web

and zipped file would be:

Gallery

Gallery 1/original/image1.jpg
Gallery 1/original/image2.jpg
Gallery 1/web/image1.jpg
Gallery 1/web/image2.jpg

Thanks once more for an awesome set of modules.

Cool, this can probably be done. The ASCII wireframe is creative, but a little tough to read since I'm coming in from outside your brain. Perhaps you could try again using a tool like Balsamiq or google drawing or whatever?

Thanks,
Jacob

Maybe we can start with a "download all originals" button per gallery? That would be a very very nice start.

This should probably be a sub module of some kind. Any of you made an attempt to create a patch to support the functionalty?

I uploaded zip files using blog content, with new field created using file format. But when you go to the page, drupal play image was displayed. How do I get rid of it ? Please see the image displayed.

Thank you.

@holeepassion This seems to be completely unrelated to this issue. Please open a new issue in the appropriate project. It does not look like a media gallery page on the screenshot.
