by Andrei Muresan, 5 years agoAwesome little plugin. Thanks a lot. I'm rating and writing here even though I had to install Chrome in order to make use of the auto-rename options of the plugin.
I do work a lot with images and your plugin comes very handy. Yet, there's something I would really appreciate if you could add. Actually I'm thinking about 2 features:
1 / To be able to set a hotkey to reset %counter%
2 / Add %folder% variable with possibility to change it in options panel and QUICKLY by HOTKEY.
or hotkey to quickly edit Filename Pattern :)
or at least hotkey to plugin options? :)) then I'll have to scroll down and edit... :(
Hotkey to plugin options? - but please, if you do it by adding %folder% variable, add the edit form right above or below Hover Hotkey form, so that you don't have to scroll down to edit it.
I'm saving lots of images in sessions. I save 10-20 images, then again, but in new folder. And so on. That's why the requests above. The plugin already saves me time. But adding the features above would be more than awesome. I'm also going to send you a big beer using the button below :)
Yeah, I'm talking about the plugin for Chrome, of course :))
Cheers!

posted 5 years agoHey, glad you like it, thanks for the extensive post. Sorry for the late reply, life is busy.
Your #1 idea, sorry, but it's too much work to create a configurable hotkey just for that. I could do it as a toolbar button instead quite easily, but that feels odd. Anyway, please follow up on it here: https://gitlab.com/Marnes/doubleclick-image-downloader/-/issues/72
As for #2, what would %folder% refer to? If you mean changing the download folder itself, sorry, but I couldn't even if I wanted to. Modern addon design makes this a privileged browser setting, not for addons to control. If you have a different idea for %folder%, please post an issue on gitlab (like for #1) with an explanation.
Hotkeys for things are generally a lot of work and maintenance, and just not worth it then, sorry. As for the options screen order, changing the order would be good for one person but bad for someone else. I think it's balanced as it is now.
For your folders, would it be a solution if I added an alternative counter variable that would increment at a toolbar button press? Then you could set up a numeric folder pattern and hit the toolbar button to end one group of images in your session. Follow up here: https://gitlab.com/Marnes/doubleclick-image-downloader/-/issues/73
You'd be the first person to donate in a long time, and the first since I completely rewrote all my addons with a whole new coding framework and language, so it'd be much appreciated, thanks :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Gwarchdodwr Tir NaNog, 5 months agoProbably one of the most useful extensions to Firefox that I've ever downloaded. Thank you.

posted a year agoAs mentioned many times before (I should add this to the FAQ part), it depends on the website, this observation is not global. Many servers provide filename extensions one way or another, but e.g. twitter doesn't in any way (because websites don't need to) and my addon can't just take a wild guess as it. There will be an extension if the extension is communicated by the server as per standards. What a blown-out-of-proportion thing to give a permanent 1 star for anyway, as if that's all there is to it and as if it's any addon's fault a server decides not to expose extensions. Stupid "reviews" - more like baseless whines - like this are why I'm done developing for the public anyway.- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18347152, a year ago

posted 9 months agoSorry, they probably detect hotlinking (i.e. direct downloading) specifically to stop addons like this. Thank you for giving a reasonable rating to a functioning product, unlike all the petulant reviewers that go straight to 1 star for the silliest reasons as if it's a completely defective piece of junk. - Rated 5 out of 5by diego.ar, 2 years ago

posted 2 years agoSome websites do things to stop addons like this from working, and I can't change that. But the addon definitely works on sites that don't take such countermeasures. I use it myself in the latest firefox, as do many other happy reviewers. Don't use reviews for misplaced and false bug reports, they belong in an email with proper information like which site you're trying to use it on. Simply writing "doesn't work" is an utter waste of everyone's time and blatantly wrong.- Rated 1 out of 5by ragernothingworks, 2 years agoIt just does not work, you can click all you like, it won't download on Firefox.

posted 2 years agoSorry but I'm using firefox and this addon myself, and it definitely works, as it does for other people too. There are some sites that do things that prevent addons like this from working (e.g. clickable overlays on images), you may be trying to use it on such a site. Fair enough it doesn't work then but that's no basis to say this addon never works. Please use reviews only for serious, well prepared review content. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17999994, 2 years agoamazing does exactly what it says the hover button works best for my use case!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16803992, 2 years agoI like hover "Download Button" on images, it's exactly what I'm looking for.

posted 9 months agoGlad you like it, I too used it more often than the titular feature actually - Rated 5 out of 5by JebDude, 2 years agoThis extension is great. A quick and easy "Download Button" on images is exactly what I was looking for.
I find that some sites really try to obfuscate their images. In that case I just have to analyze the src HTML to find the original link, open it, and then download.
But the quick-and-easy button is what I wanted. Thanks dev!Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by MIM, 2 years agoIt's a good extension, it downloads orginal size image with Double-click, but it downloads image with random name & without extension (.webp, .jpg, etc). The image that is hyper-link too, you can right-click on image to download it, what it needs is to download image with page title name & with extension (.webp, .jpg, etc).

posted 9 months agoFilenames and extensions depend entirely on the hosting server. Renaming using a.o. the page title is implemented but not supported by firefox itself. Thank you for the reasonable rating, all things considered, unlike the way some people rate projects. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14044871, 2 years ago
