How can I do this with flashgot?

[Juntor]

Hi,

I am wondering if someone can tell me how to do the following with flashgot or flashgot and a combination of some other program (say, down them all).

I want to download picture galleries that follow a sequential url for the name of the gallery - for example, www.pictures.com/gallery1 - but the thumbnail links on the page are not sequential. When things are sequential, I could build a gallery by doing something like www.pictures.com/gallery[1-10]/picture[1-10].jpg. But I can't do this when the image names aren't sequential.

I basically want each sequential gallery to be scanned and all images/media on that page downloaded. Any help is appreciated. I'm also open to trying new programs that might be able to do this. (I've been trying to get FG to do it for a while, but I can't figure out how.)

Anyone?

Ok. If this can't be done with FG, can it be done with any other program? Suggestions are welcomed.

Can you post a URL?

As a start, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=fi ... tnG=Search

The Save Images add-on will do this. You can select your desired thumbnails/links, right click, and click Auto-open/save selected links, and it will open the pages in a new tab, one at a time, and save the images according to rules set. However, if the gallery site shows a downsized image when a thumbnail is clicked, and you have to click again to get the full sized image, this method will only save the sized images.

Actually, I wonder if it might be possible to implement such an expanded gallery function in a future version. For instance, if a gallery had arbitrarily named thumbnails like so:

www.site.com/gallery01/thumbnails/arbitraryname.jpg
www.site.com/gallery01/thumbnails/arbit ... eagain.jpg
www.site.com/gallery01/thumbnails/arbitrarynametoo.jpg
etc...

and full images with identical arbitrary names like so:

www.site.com/gallery01/images/arbitraryname.jpg
www.site.com/gallery01/images/arbitrarynameagain.jpg
www.site.com/gallery01/images/arbitrarynametoo.jpg
etc...

would it be possible for a user to select these three thumbnails, select Build gallery from selected (or whatever it would be called) and then be presented with a list:

Selected preview imagelinks:

www.site.com/gallery01/thumbnails/arbitraryname.jpg
www.site.com/gallery01/thumbnails/arbit ... eagain.jpg
www.site.com/gallery01/thumbnails/arbitrarynametoo.jpg

and when the user enters the relevant path in the Content path box, i.e.www.site.com/gallery01/images/ , the gallery creator would generate and match the URLs from the supplied path and filenames, i.e:

Selected preview imagelinks: Content:

www.site.com/gallery01/thumbnails/arbitraryname.jpg www.site.com/gallery01/images/arbitraryname.jpg
www.site.com/gallery01/thumbnails/arbit ... eagain.jpg www.site.com/gallery01/images/arbitrarynameagain.jpg
www.site.com/gallery01/thumbnails/arbitrarynametoo.jpg www.site.com/gallery01/images/arbitrarynametoo.jpg

and from these URLs create a gallery page as is currently implemented.

This facility could be made even more powerful (and complicated), allowing replacement and renaming to get the required images, i.e.

Preview: prev.site.com/gallery01/tn/arbitraryname-tn.jpg

Operator: "images.site.com/gallery01/" + TRUNCATE_RIGHT({filename}, 3)

Content: images.site.com/gallery01/arbitraryname.jpg

or something like that.
