Q1. Is there any reliable way to know if someone has copied an image, a file
or saved an HTML page from their browser using "Save as.." or similar?

Q2. If yes, how would you suggest using Zope to catch events and store
statistics on this. Create a ZCatalog with an updated 'saved_hits' property
for each item would be ideal.

Q3. Whether it is possible or not, how would you suggest using Zope to keep
count of hits to Zope pages/objects?

The application is a Zope site with a lot of graphics. Contributers
[Artists] will upload often, according to their schedules and whims.
Designing for ecletic low-maintenance freedom here..

There will be gallery and styudio areas for browsing the art.
Instead of making people jump through a bunch of tedious form actions to get
their images adn to store download data on the server, I thought it might be
friendlier to just tell them 'save as..'

any ideas?
