Watermarked files

[ ] ToDo: initial description, recheck content

  1. Watermark

A watermarked replacement file will be created once when uploading or when viewed the first time. The watermarking will be a text defined in the configuration. Optional: Add icon or other image as watermark. (This has to be developed. It can be done in short time. Send us an email if you need it and we will care for it)

  1. Disguise watermarked file names

Additional the created watermarked files are disguised with a different filename. So users can't immediately guess the URL of the next or previous image. So it is harder to download all your images and remove the watermark with an imaging application

Drawbacks
  • The small sized "display" files have no watermark
  • The "display" files can be found with guessing and a knowledge of the RSGallery2 / Joomla structure
  • If you switch on watermarking after uploading the images then the watermarking tries to use the original image. If it doesn't exist then it uses the "display" files with lower resolution.

Setup watermarked configuration:

  1. Hide (delete) original after upload
