    Is it possible to currently include some java script to stop right click / copying of photos in the HTML slideshow function. It looks like I would have to edit every file for every photo to do this?

    If not is it possible to list this as an enhancement for future.

    I don't know about including such a function into the program and I solely speak for myself. But I don't think that such a feature is helpful in any way. If I discover a page with such a "protection", I simply deactivate JS processing or use my browser's cache or a download helper to harvest all I need.

    I second what Tankred said. Don't ever rely on Javascript as a way to protect your photos. The same is true for any number of Flash applications. As someone who writes web applications, it is far too easy to get the files one way or another. Protect your images by showing reduced resolution versions with a prevalent watermark.
