Save Link Or Image Below Mouse Cursor

Post by soulburn3d »

Hey there, so far loving this product. A few questions though.

I frequently visit websites that have a combination of images on the page that are links to a larger version of that image, and then also images that are small enough they are just an image without a link to something bigger. The Flashgot Link function works great in the first case, but it doesn't work in the second. Is there any way to set it up such that the same keyboard shortcut will save a link if a link exists under your cursor, and if not, just save the image that's under the cursor? I'm using Firefox in case its helpful. Thanks.

Well, any URL really. Check this page.

Hover over the "Neil Blevins Art Gallery", notice its not a link. So you can't use "Flashgot link". You can select the image and then use "Flashgot Selected", but that's an extra click, drag. I'd love to be able to just hit my hotkey and save the image below the mouse just like it was a link, or save the link if a link is present.

Oh, see if the FlashGot Option, Include images found in current page helps?

Yup, I tried that and it didn't work. Does it work for you?

True. If I could just hover over the image though and hit a single hotkey to save it, that would save me so much time. I forwarded the wish to the devs, hopefully it'll be possible to implement. Thanks for the input!

hi ,

as an amature in image processing programming,Im wondering if it is possible to integrate such a feature with the support of image save component in .NET?
so that it could be more robust in image saving as soulburn3d request.
