Re: Automatic download

Since my ears are burning I guess I should reply LOL.....

David, I'm not sure what post of mine you're referring too but I would be 
inclined to do what somebody else has already suggested. Create your 
thumbnails and link them to a zip file.  Visitor clicks thumbnail and 
downloads the full size image all neatly packaged :)

Just bear in mind that your .tif files are probably going to be pretty 
large so you might want to create a series of zip files for those if 
they're really big for easy downloading.
