Reviews for Double-click Image Downloader
Double-click Image Downloader by Marnes
Review by Bull
Rated 5 out of 5
by Bull, 8 years agoI'm very excited for the progression of this add-on. I used Image Picker, pre-version 57, exclusively for the ability to shift+click an image to auto save to a relatively organized and dedicated folder. This addon is on a path to be the perfect replacement for me. I hope that choosing and saving a specific save folder rather than using the browser's default download location gets implemented as the subfolder system rolls out. I would also like to see support for saving Instagram photos.
Either way--great addon, works very well and my browsing experience feels more back to normal now.

posted 8 years agoDownloading to a folder outside the browser's default download dir is not possible (even if I wanted to, it cannot be done) and an anti-feature anyway for technical reasons (hence why they made it impossible).
Sorry about the subfolder and rename feature being broken at the moment, but that's due to firefox's incomplete API. It works in chrome.
If I remember correctly, nstagram is one of a few hosts that have a very strange internal layout on their webpages that makes it impossible or very difficult for an addon to download their images. Twitter and a few others are also guilty of it. I can give them another close look to see if I can fix it but there are no promises.

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 10 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!

posted 10 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
