Definitely a bit rough around the edges (I haven't been able to reload page links after having loaded them once, unless I reload the page itself or the extension), but the core functionality is really solid, and it's been the only thing that can reliably extract high-quality images in my use-case (view-only box.com pdfs from my university, which requires a 2fa login).

As far as features go, I think a command line API could be really helpful, especially for automation, so you can have site-dependent scripts for sorting, renaming, organizing, (and maybe converting?) files. (Ofc there are some existing CLI tools for this, but they haven't worked for my use case; I think because they have issues integrating with browser instances).

Thank you so much for the program!

The best mass downloader. I have this thousands of over the past 4 years. I love how you can sort by image and the automatic folder options.

Perfect!

Addon works fine but there's a problem as is not listed inside the Firefox Settings/Extentions!

It work OK, not the best, It will do it say but it doesn't retain it setting, every time load new files have to re-input all setting like px filter, dir, ext....., preview, when re-open Firefox the Multirename setting not retain too, and if u don't put ext after the counter the files will not have ext, also it should automatic go back to the Resource list page the next time load files, the image tab should have option toggle on all time instead of have to press load image link then again have to press image tab every time to show images, it just too too too many press press press....., but thanks for your hard work to create this add-on.

When it works its great but when it doesn't its hopeless. Its error handling is non existent and its inflexibility makes it more trouble than its worth.

Far too often in batch mode, which is its primary selling point, rather than downloading the file required it instead downloads the html page and worse still then claims its the rar or zip file that was the original target. It reports what was a failure as a success. That it cannot recognise what is a successful download is a fundamental flaw and one that makes it unfit for purpose.

As a result at the end of a batch download you are left with an almighty mess where perhaps 50% or more of the file downloads have failed and there is no easy way to fix it.
Instead you have to sort the files out manually and then manually redo the downloads. SMD gives you no assistance in error management.

The lack of information (eg the links actually used) data export capability (eg a list of the failed links), the ability to change the order of items as viewed (eg you cannot order the items on screen by size etc they are fixed in their original import order), logging features (eg what has failed and what hasn't) etc, all of which, if available, might assist in error rectification, undermine any value this might have.

Instead of saving time, SMD doubles the amount of time needed to achieve the task with treble the frustration, As such its not fit for purpose especially if you have tens or hundreds of downloads to complete in a limited timescale. Its more trouble than its worth and equally does not provide sufficient guidance on how best to use it.

I really wish I'd remembered why I first stopped using this before I tried it again. Its going to take me hours to sort this mess out!

It would be nice if the download folder could be freely chosen (not just the download folder or a subfolder of it.

It would be nice to indicate if you want to replace the files instead of adding (1), (2)

Tried several media downloader before. This one was the best. Very well configurable and downloads media files quickly from a web site.
It would be nice if the download folder could be freely chosen (not only the download folder or a subfolder of it) but I can live with that.

Incredible, tried multiple web scrapers before this, this addon is the real deal, I barely had to read the tutorials to figure out what I needed
