If you have permission to download files from Fotoware, you can select one or more files and choose Download from the action bar.
Depending on how the archive has been configured, you may be able to choose a processing profile that resizes a picture or performs other server-side processing before the files are delivered. These will be displayed in a pop-up menu so you can choose the processing type to apply to each file in your selection. Select Start to start processing and have the files delivered in your browser.
When you download more than one file, they will be 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 clicking on 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, the user can close the processing dialog and continue working in Fotoware. They will then receive an email with a download link as soon as the files are ready for delivery.
