image-downloader's Issues

Needs option to not show image preview

An option to not show image previews would be good, as large images load very slowly, and you can't start the download right away. Big time waster, and people want this plugin to SAVE time! Thanks.

[Google Chrome Developer v21] Pressing "Download" crashes the browser

In the developer version of Google Chrome (v21), pressing "Download" causes a crash because of an issue in the browser itself. The reason is the HTML5 "download" attribute of anchor elements - when you click a URL that has that attribute, the browser promptly crashes.

Recurrence

Hi,
thanks for your extension.
I would much appreciate to set a timer that automatically comes back to a specific website and downloads all images.
For instance unsplash.com offers new pictures every 10 days. If I could set it and forgetting it that'd be great.

Now suddenly ignores fields Subfolder & Rename

Both used to work just fine, then suddenly will only save with original names to Downloads folder, WIndows 7

Download request disabled by server

Some websites forbidden download request,images only can be seen in normal web view.
Image-Downloader will not work (chrome stop download images)

Like this link:
http://a437.file-static.com/data/attachment/forum/threadcover/1801/11632374.jpg

Except right click and save as...that will work

Stopped Working

Version 64.0.3282.119 (Official Build) (64-bit) using this on windows 8

from today it stoped working not showing any images when i am selecting the extension

till yesterday it was working great

request: option to download only links or only images shown

Now it makes a solid list of images and images by links, would be very nice to divide

The file rename textbox

Excellent app, but the file name of the sequence rename is not as the sequence displayed online. E.g. the image showed at the bottom of web and this app (i.e. 52) is renamed to small numbers (i.e. 25).

No longer working on FetLife

FetLife has been working on killing hotlinks and adding tokens. It stopped working a week or so ago with Image Downloader as a result. Just a head's up.

Pop-up/car doesn't float...

I wonder is there a way to make the pop-up float...? If it loses attention there goes selections as well.

Could there be any idea to make this ext not appear in pop-up/car but as sidebar or off-canvas? (see off-canvas: https://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/kitchen-sink.html#off-canvas / sidebar: https://jillix.github.io/jQuery-sidebar/ )

Sidebar and off-canvas can be brought forth from a button in the extension bar. (see for example https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vtabs/okpnlgbgcfchbicbhjmmhldhkbkfilce and/or https://github.com/zluca/Sidebar )

can you create one for wordpress

hi i am looking for someone to help create a software that can upload images in wp with the image source, the same one that you have developed for chrome, let me know if it is possible

Build Guide

Looks like this project is active again but I haven't seen any updates on the Chrome Store yet, so I thought I'd build this extension myself but I was unable to find any build guide. So would you be so kinds to provide one in the Readme for users like me? Because that'd be really great!

Uppercase image extensions not supported

I've found out that uppercase file extensions are not detected as downloadable image. E.g. .JPG instead of .jpg is not recognized.

can not download al

When i use this plugin to download image from one page.
the page is
http://www.mafengwo.cn/photo/12938/scenery_3237101_1.html

I select all (items 199)
but when the download process over, download only 134 images or less

Won't Recognize Images Due To New HTML Coding

I use this every day & really love it, but the last few days I'm noticing some new HTML coding for image URLs that is causing the extension to not recognize some images.

Usually we'd see coding like this:
<img src="https://www.blog.google/static/blog/images/google-200x200.7714256da16f.png" width="200" height="200" border="0">

But the new coding I'm seeing looks like this:
<img src="//www.blog.google/static/blog/images/google-200x200.7714256da16f.png" width="200" height="200" border="0">

Notice that the https: is missing from the URL? I have a feeling the extension is looking for the https: (or http:) and that's why it's not recognizing the images :(

I'd provide examples, but seeing as everything I use this for is NSFW, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to post any links.

Really hoping you can fix this!

Save to Subfolder

I have problems when keeping in an absolute route, I am doing it from a MAC in Chorme v49.0.2623.87, not that he is bad.

/Users/harryizquierdo/Documents/Ebooks/Modelo/

Excuses by my English.

REQ: 2 improvements

• Link crawling could be better. Not all links (ajax?) crawled.

• Ext called "image downloader pro" has interesting "gallery feature", where one can choose images for later DL through context menu etc. Otherwise (such as link crawling) that ext is no good, but has some good features for inspiration?

Not working any more with newest chrome update

Since newest chrome update it is not working any more.

Download tif images?

When I use .tif in a wildcard download, it doesn't pick up any images. Does this downloader not work with tiffs? It finds the jpegs in the same folder.

If not, will you consider adding the ability to download tiffs? It would be very helpful.

Thank you.

No images found

This tool is no longer able to find any images on the page. This started happening with a recent Chrome update. Is it possible to ask for a fix?

Thanks.

Feature Request: Option to make "select all" automatic

99% of the time, I click "select all." Be nice if I could skip the extra click. Very minor issue, obviously.

height and width filter

Hi, can you please give back filter with sliders for height and width? Or can I somehow install old version with that feature?

Extension is useless for me without that filter :-(

URL font size on top of images...

Could be smaller? So that it would be easier to see those urls..
What ya think? Font size option(s)? Or just a bit smaller?

not working at all for past week

stopped working. all of a sudden, nothing. happening for others too I believe. any help would be great. thank you

NOT Working with Latest Chrome Update?

Hi! I love this extension! However, it seems with the latest chrome update that the extension is no longer detecting the images?

See this screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/WgFSE2RW92

It was working for an employee of ours for Chrome version 63, but when he verified his Chrome version, it auto-updated to version 64, and it stopped working for him as well.

Here's my current version as of 2018-02-03:
Google Chrome is up to date
Version 64.0.3282.140 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Add sites...

Would it be possible to add sites like:
Google IMG search
Yandex IMG search
http://flipmeme.com

plugin

hi
i have a plugin for my web which adds images from bing, i want it to grab credit file along with the images , can you do this

Download with mass renaming

I suggest that we can add some functions to this extension:

1. Add padding to rename function.
2. Naming file should follow the index of webview
3. Having download destination would be better

By the way, thank for the good images dowloader ^.^

How does the renaming work?

Are there placeholders, e.g. date/time? Is there a way to add to the original filenames (e.g. original files are "01.jpg, 02.jpg" but I want "myfile01.jpg, myfile02.jpg")?

No Download Options in Configuration

New and updated User Interface (Can I help?)

Hi, I was amazed to see what you guys are doing and I have to say I am a new user and was proud at the immerse work you guys are doing. So I want to see if my help can be needed in creating a new modern UI for the image downloader extension. I am a UI designer from Nigeria and I will love to job on this as my own contribution to the open-source community. Looking to read from you.

Works for a while then stops working

The image downloader will download 20 or so photos and then presumably my ip address is getting blacklisted as it stops working. It would be good if there was an option to restrict the download rate to say 30 images per minute or something.

Image Downloader might trigger server DoS attack protection.

First, my wife has been enjoying this program to extract images of homes from real estate sites for the real estate books she builds. Makes it much faster and easier to do her work so thank you!

ISSUE: DoS triggering on some sites. My guess is the massive download of images from the site triggers a DoS attack on the server protection and it blocks her for a period of time from downloading or even viewing images.

SOLUTION: Is there a way to build in a few options to download a few groups at a time with pauses in between to avoid freaking out the servers? Perhaps a slider or a box for speed of download per image and how many groups at once. EXAMPLE: So the options could be set to download say 4 images then wait a few seconds then 4 more till it reaches it's total. Would it need randomization as well? Not sure what circumvents the false positive of DoS attack triggers. (And) Or even just a Avoid DoS checkbox in options if there was some fool proof way to make it download and not trigger.

Possible features wish list: Individual check boxes for each image would be really great and more options to filter out smaller web graphics from the download thumbnails.

Thank you very much for the great program!

only mac? only me?

Trouble Understanding Exactly How this Works

I'm confused on how this application is supposed to work. I click the image downloader icon on the chrome toolbar.....and nothing happens.

Also,
How do I preset a directory to save to? I can't find the option.

Repeated use results in "Waiting for available socket"

If I have been using the extension for a while, at some point it will stop working and Chrome displays "Waiting for available socket" in the status bar. This state never really seems to clear until either I restart Chrome or reduce the number of open tabs down to single digits.

Eventually, it wil start to affect just clicking on links though there does not seem to be any kind of pattern.

Uncaught DOMException

I got this exception on http://www.b2cjewels.com/. The problem goes away if I uncheck "Show image width filter" and "Show image height filter"

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'webkitMatchesSelector' on 'Element': 'img[src="http://www.b2cjewels.com/B2CTheme/images/arrow-dropdown.png"), url("/B2CTheme/images/pt-metal-fliter.png"]' is not a valid selector.

Downloading Images

For some reason, now I can't download any images off of the Image Downloader. For example, I try it on a Tumblr page, with multiple images of it. They appear in the extension's box, however when I select them all and click Download it will not download (loads in green saying Downloading # photos) then disappears when in reality nothing happened.

It previously worked the same way I was trying, but again now it does not work. Even trying to download one image doesn't work.

And nothing shows in my Downloads page for Chrome.

Cannot download actual size of images

It downloads the image shown with the size it's displaying but I want to download all images in it's actual size. Can this be done without opening each image separately? ex: from forexfactory dot com thread.

Dimensions

I'd like to see dimensions of images, how can I set it on?

Filter two URLS!

Hi. This is a fantastic extension. I'm trying to develop it further for a particular website and I'm wondering if it is possible to have two filter URLs as opposed to one, which it currently has!

Thank you!

REQ: Remember Last Used Folder

I love this wonderful and necessary tool.. Please have it remember which folder you last used, as it is troublesome to have to keep selecting anything other than downloads, where pictyures don't belong anyway, just to stay organized..

TIA and Namaste...

Zhu.

REQ: Time set between downloads

Hello,

Thanks for this amazing tool!

I have 1 big request:

Can you add a option to make it not download it to fast? Maybe a slider with the time you want between the downloads? Some sites do have protection (not only DDOS but also for download) and I have found out that when I use this often I need to relog into chrome and delete all local files of it because the site cant be loaded anymore.

In the last case the site works in any other browser but not in chrome.

I hope you can implant this!

Doesn't show all the images at imgur

URL: https://imgur.com/a/uCSg1

It only shows first few images, not the rest.

Is this project dead?

Not committed for more than two years now.

cssRules faild

in chrome new version I can't use this extention and It's sad that

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to read the 'cssRules' property from 'CSSStyleSheet': Cannot access rules

Images download file changed to JFIF instead of JPG.. why??

For some reason, without me changing anything, the downloader started to download images as an JFIF file.. which is not good for me, and then I need to use a converter to change them all to JPG..

Is there a way to change it???

Custom names

We should be able to pick out custom names within the extension, before downloading it (and when it's put onto the computer, it has our custom name).

Support relative URLs

Currently, the extension will try to display images with relative URLs, but it will fail, because the website's URL is different from the extension's.
Example: open the extension in https://github.com/vdsabev/image-downloader

Wiki / Wikipedia / Wikimedia style pages...

The ext can't find image links on Wiki / Wikipedia / Wikimedia style (CMS) pages.
