I'm cuious if there's a way for users to download all of the files in a particular album at once. Whether it be saved as individual files or one .zip file...
Do you mean download them to your website ?. If so, it can be done and the documentation on how to download explains how.
well that would be uploading, right? no, i've got them all on my website. what i mean is that a friend is looking at the picture i have on coppermine and would like to save them to her computer. other than "save as" each one individually, can it be done all at once, for each album?
