Hello! What is the best way to save pictures other researchers have uploaded? I used to be able to "right click" and then "save image as..." Now I get something completely different. (see attached) Any suggestions? Lisa

From reading the menu choices, it seems you are not yet 'at' where the image is located, but you are instead hovering over the LINK TO where the image resides. If you choose 'open link in new tab' from those choices for example, then on THAT page you should be able to right click and get 'save image'.

And...Sometimes when I get this situation, if I simply click on the image (instead of right clicking on it there), it'll then automatically take me to the image's ACTUAL location page, where i can then get the usual rightclick 'save image' choices. That way I can often bypass having to choose 'open link in new window...' thing.

If the images are in the gallery, click on the Download icon in the upper right when viewing the image. If you don't see the download icon, make sure the Admin -> Media -> Image Galleries -> Global Config -> "Allow Original Download" option is checked, and save.

If the image you're trying to download is somewhere else, let me know.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! However, it didn't work. :-(

One of my researchers uploaded some photos to a gallery, and if I get the "save image as..." option it wants to save it as a web page.

I do not have a download icon anywhere even though my "Allow Original Download" option is checked.

I used to be able to save the images normally by right clicking, but now they want to save as a web pages.

Glad to hear that :)

Note too that the image you are linking to is an Event Image - not a gallery image, so you will not see the download image icon when viewing an image that is attached to an event.
