Protect a folder of pictures

Ludovic,

You can easily store an image,  or many images, in a custom property of a
stack or stacks. Then, it's a simple matter to open the stack invisibly,
grab the customProp and set the imageData of a 'blank' image on your 'main'
stack to it. Should be pretty fast as well. This will discourage the casual
pirate from grabbing your image. Of course there are always ways to
circumvent this process, but for the most part, it's fast, compact, and easy
to deploy.

Or another way to do this, is to just import the images into a stack, then
launch the stack invisibly, and copy the imagedata of the image you want to
the 'blank' image. Remember, if you put all 1000 images in a single stack,
opening the stack will take forever. You might consider putting 1 image per
stack. Should be easy to write a script to automate this and point it to a
folder of images.
