I can see we can protect individual images with a switch but are we going to be able to protect galleries??

We could definitely add this as an option — but I always like to point out that **you can’t truly prevent someone from downloading an image on the internet**. Features like “Image Protection” (disabling right-click, overlays, etc.) might make it a bit harder, but they mostly provide a **false sense of security**.

I know but if it was a stand alone image it works to fool people trying to download. anyone with a bit of knowledge would be able to get it but it does serve for normal viewing.
