If you have permission to download files from FotoWeb, you can simply select one or more files and select Download in the action bar.
Note
Batch/bulk downloading (downloading thousands of assets) is not considered a regular user operation and is not supported.
Depending on how the archive has been configured, you might be able to choose a processing profile that resizes a picture or performs other server-side processing before the files are delivered. These are displayed in a pop-up menu, allowing you to choose the processing type to apply to each file in your selection. Select Start to begin processing and deliver the files to your browser.
When you download more than one file, the files are processed and delivered in a single zipped archive.
Tip
To quickly download your entire selection using the default processing profile, select your items and double-click the Download button.
Downloading files from the Details page
You can also download files from the Details page by selecting the Download link above the asset preview. Depending on how the system has been configured, you may be able to choose from several server-side processing options before receiving the file.
Notification by email when pre-download processing takes a long time
When downloading large collections of assets, processing before the download starts can take some time. In these cases, you can close the processing dialog and continue working in FotoWeb. You will receive an email with a download link when the files are ready for delivery.
