One click downloads
I've had a ton of confusion from the digital download process this year.
I photograph weddings and create galleries which include 5 to 6 sub folders in each gallery.
Because the downloads are broken up into 2GB files, it's dividing the sub folders in random places. And this has caused a ton of errors with my clients having to piece the downloads back together once they're downloaded.
As other every day websites create one-click checkouts/purchases I think people are getting use to easier processes for getting things on their computers.
Also, I'm delivering a luxury product and the download process needs to be seamless and easy.
Is there any way to have one-click downloads start direct from the gallery and not deal with emails and fractured downloads?
Thank you for your comments and your suggestion! Unfortunately we cannot accommodate "1-click downloads" due to the enormous amount of storage space that would be required to keep "hot" duplicate (zipped) sets of the images for every gallery on-hand, waiting for the download button to be potentially/eventually be pressed. However, we have made several changes to the download process recently, which should help with the majority of your other concerns. Some of those changes include: (a) You may now select a zip file size that goes up to 8GB per file (instead of 2GB), (b) The links to the downloaded files are more easily identified and are named "file 1 of 3", "file 2 of 3", etc., and (c) the zipping process has been modified to try and keep the images from each category wirhin the same zip files (when possible).
