First, allow me to say this is the best gallery script I've used to date. Thank you!
I was using Gallery3 until I stumbled on this script. So when I was using that script, they had an option to imitate a transparent .GIF that would overlay the image shown so people couldn't save the photo.
In essence what it did, was to overlay a "blank" image over the image that is being displayed. When a site visitor viewing the larger scale image and when right click to save, they would only be able to save the "blank" image, not the one that would be currently showing.
Has anyone thought of creating a plugin for that feature? Knowing that there is no secure way to prevent images from being totally "non-downloadable", this does add one more method to securing your images from novice users without ruining your images with a watermark.
I would love to see this plugin. Any thoughts?
This is the text regarding this feature if it helps, "Protect the resized images using a transparnt .gif over the image using JQuery."

Bottom line:
If your image is displayed in the browser, the viewer has it captured on his computer, so anything else you do is simply useless and not worth the effort.
As my colleague says if someone wants it he gets it. If you use jQuery for this all he has to do is disable Javascript in the browser. Or on modern browser one even only have to look at the resources loaded of a website to see all images loaded and directly get them.
If you really want such a plugin you can of course provide it yourself.
