Gallery3 is amazing!

I tested several different modules and I like it.
I'm looking for a special module that allows me to see a log with who of the registered users as downloading images and precise by time and date. Does anyone know of such a module or know how to solve it?

There isn't really a way to do this, as the apache logs (where the data would be found) would show an image retrieved upon each view. There isn't a way to differentiate a 'view' and a 'download'.

The downloadfullsize module could be modified to log such data -IF- the users downloaded via that module only...

There may be a way to 'capture' right-click downloads, but I'm unaware of any way.

i have modified the downloadfullsize-module to send me an e-mail when someone uses it and disabled other ways to get to the full size within g3.. it's a pretty ugly hack, but works so far..

I've been looking for the same type of module. For my purposes, differentiating between the two has become crucial to my next phase. I'm not great with hacks so am hoping someone has found a solution.
