Activate right click --> Save as on Slimbox

I managed to applied Slimbox to my gallery, but I have one more question. Hope you could help me on this one too.

When I click on each thumbnail and slimbox comes up, I can right click, but doesn't give me the option to save the image directly.

In Slimbox's FAQ section, they had below note;

[Is there a way for the visitors of my website to save the images displayed by Slimbox?]
FAQ#Is_there_a_way_for_the_visitors_of_my_website_to_save_the_images


And this is my Image link:

<a href="images/detail/<?php echo $row_race2012['FileName']; ?>" rel="lightbox-detail" title="<?php echo $row_race2012['Title']; ?>" ><img src="images/Thumbs/<?php echo $row_race2012['Thumbs']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $row_race2012['Thumbs']; ?>" /></a>

In FAQ it says "if Slimbox is opened by clicking on an image link, your visitors can right-click on that link and choose "save target as..." to save the image."

My link for Slimbox is not an image link?
I checked in 3 different browser and Chrome and Safari doesn't allow me, but Firefox does let me.

How can I fix this?

what the documentation is saying is that the thumbnail link can be downloaded by right clicking on the thumbnail.

if you want to be able to download the large image, you need to read further and define the link mapper function:

  If it's not enough for you and you want the visitors to be able to save the image from inside Slimbox, you can modify the "autoload code block" so that a link to the image is added automatically after the image caption. This is achieved by defining a linkMapper function...

Ok, I kind of knew this was coming...

I did read the whole thing, but I don't know much about JavaScript, so didn't make much sense to me. First define the link mapper function, and then modify the autoload code block?

Checked the meaning/relation of DOM, node, firstchild etc, but it's just not possible to apply my needs to what they are suggesting.

Would it be too much to ask you for further help on this since slimbox is not WA products? If you could it would be great and this is my image link to activate slimbox on my gallery page;

<a href="images/detail/<?php echo $row_race2012['FileName']; ?>" rel="lightbox-detail" title="<?php echo $row_race2012['Title']; ?>" >
<img src="images/Thumbs/<?php echo $row_race2012['Thumbs']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $row_race2012['Thumbs']; ?>" /></a>

And how would I change the link mapper function?

function(el) {
return [el.href, el.title];
}

OK, thank you for letting me know and for your help thus far.

I'll try to dig into this by myself a litte more or seek for other ways.
