Hello,
my English is not so good. I want the images in another folder. Is this possible?

Still don't understand:
- you want to have images in another folder:
a) outside phocagallery folder
b) inside phoca gallery folder

- or just use different folders for different images

or ? what is the reason to have the images in another folder ?

Hello welcome, this my first post
Thanks for great component!

I think that uweb want do the same as me:

1. Define an external folder for big original files (without watermarks) - eg. on external server (other ip)
2. Define phocafolder only for it's thumbnails (with watermark protection) - they can be stolen

but pt.1 directory path is hidden for users.

Today i have installed the phoca gallery and the original files are not protected :/
users can easily copy it, for example:

When user go to gallery there are direct links: /images/phocagallery/folder/thumbs/phoca_thumb_m_IMAGE.jpg (with watermark on it).
To copy our original image is sufficient enough to change the link (remove a piece) to: /images/phocagallery/folder/IMAGE.jpg and we have original photo without watermark :/

I want to keep the original pictures somewhere else, where the user does not have access.

Hi, then you need to remove the originals after thumbnails creation (but there are limits - no download possible, no size information, no exif information, not possible to make rotating, recreating, ... )

Or try to set some password for the folder (on server side)

Thanks for your response. I'm working on a system plugin to hide links.
