ASC - Download DAM Asset in original format without zipping

[Shelson]

Hi All,
We have a requirement to download asset in original file format without zipping the file. Suppose if we try to download the jpg file, it should be downloaded as jpg files format itself. Could anyone suggest any way to achieve that ?

Hi @Shelson 

This can be done by overriding AssetDownloadServlet. Please refer this article for implementation details

Hope this helps.

You can simply update the HTML button to have an anchor tag with a href of the JPEG(or equivalent) asset path.

/apps/asset-share-commons/components/details/action-buttons/action-buttons.html

    <button class="ui primary button cmp-action-buttons__button"
                    data-asset-share-id="download-asset"
                    data-asset-share-asset="${asset.path}"
                    data-asset-share-license="${config.licenseEnabled ? asset.properties['license'] : ''}"
                    data-sly-test="${properties['downloadLabel'] && config.downloadEnabled}">
           ${properties['downloadLabel']}
    </button>
