Ok, to answer my own question:
1. yes, batch uploaded pictures get watermarked. You get to choose where to place the watermark (up left/right or down left/right, there is an extra MOD somewhere on this thread that also allows for centering the watermark, but I have not tried it).
- there is an option (in the 'config' section) that suppose to allow you to choose if you want the uploaded files to be watermarked.
IT DOES NOT WORK FOR ME - all my files get watermarked even if I choose the no watermark option.. Possibly I did not install the script correctly!? (one way to by pass this problem is by using the option that only watermarks the resized pictures... I don't use any resized pictures and therefore non of my uploaded pictures will get watermarked when I choose this option
2. Individually uploaded pictures (using the 'Upload file' option) also get watermarked in the same manner as the batch uploaded pictures get watermarked..
-- users/members (other than the administrator) do not have control over the watermarking process.
3. So far I CAN NOT place succesfully a non-picture file!!!
I am able to upload the file and get to the page that askes for a title, description, and keywords, after that I get the error: "The previous file could not be placed."
I tried this it with MPEG and mp3 files a few times and got the same error in all my attempts.
- somebody already mentioned this error on this thread, but no one posted a solution.
Hope that this helps anyone considering this MOD and it would be great if someone can post an advice regarding #1 and #3
Thanks
