by JolanXBL, 2 years agoImage Picka is a fantastic app! When downloading from a forum or DeviantArt, I open each image in a new tab, then use Picka to download them all.
*The only qualms I have are:
1. The difference between this and DownThemAll is where Picka requires a thumbnail page to be generated first. This becomes an issue when a forum or image site has all of their images inline or directly linked, resulting in waiting for unnecessary thumbs to be created for hundreds of images.
2. Upon saving all of the images, the extension tab closes. I would prefer if it added a checkmark or colored the thumb border to signify that it has downloaded successfully. Otherwise I'm left guessing which ones made it.
3. I have to leave all tabs open after the process finishes because I've experienced where Picka closes the tabs but didn't save some images.
Despite all this though, Image Picka is very easy to use and is always in my toolbox, along with the likes of DownThemAll, Noscript, and Search by Image (Armin Sebastian).
Definitely worth 5 stars!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Daniel Wu, 9 days agoWorks fine for me. People complained because they were non developer and they were hoping for 'magic', which clearly won't happen, seeing browsers have cracked down on add-ons security these days. Also a lot of image gallery websites don't like / don't want us to batch download these days. So.. "batch download all images from all tabs to the right" is the only sensible solution right now. And the good news is, it is unpreventable by website owners. Not in any way I can think of. We should simply middle-mouse-click on all thumbnails we wanted, press this add-on button, adjust the minimum size we wanted, and press Save! Keep up the good work, eight04!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19251219, a month agoAs previously reported, the bug has not been fixed. Even in version 0.23, images within tabs (images that enlarge when clicked) cannot be retrieved. This was possible in version 0.19. It is highly questionable that the author has confirmed the behavior between versions 0.19 and 0.22/0.23.

posted a month agoIt's hard to track bug in comment section. It will be nice to submit more details to the issue tracker: https://github.com/eight04/image-picka/issues , including the site, browser version, operating system, etc. - Rated 1 out of 5by Ksanbah Lyngwa, a month ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by D.K., 2 months agoOnly works for images which can already be downloaded using the context menu without any add-on, thus mainly useless.

- Rated 5 out of 5by GeroZero, 3 months agoI really liked it; it has many options to fully configure the add-on.

The new update just got this error !!
" Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt. "
Please fix itDeveloper response
posted 4 months agoThe extension uses a new setting in 0.22, but it is buggy in old Firefox.
The bug prevents the extension from install on Firefox < 128:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1996829
Currently the bug is fixed at Firefox ESR 115.31 (which should be released around Dec 9), but I think 116~127 will still face the bug.
If you need a version without the new setting, feel free to comment in this thread:
https://github.com/eight04/image-picka/issues/380 - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19557507, 4 months agoIt definitely works on Android, however it is very annoying to use as it only downloads it on .tar format even if you only want one, there is no way other than do the "batch" method which makes it annoying if you want to download from several tabs as you cannot mark them to download from those and have do it individually. Making it almost worthless depending on how you want to use it

posted 4 months agoThat's true. The tab chooser on Android doesn't work with extensions. We either have to implement our own tab chooser or perhaps pick all images from all available tabs by default.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bob, 10 months agoI have used Image Picka on many Linux Distros, and have installed it for others on Apple OSX and even non-linux systems! ;-)
No complaints so far and a lot of praise from this 70yo user. i.e. EASY to install. Thank-you Image-Picka. - Rated 5 out of 5by vetenho, 10 months agoThat's crazy extension. I've never seen anything like it, it scrapes perfectly. Massive W developers!!!!!!!!!!!
