I am having some difficulty downloading Yahoo Groups Pictures, especially the "Albums" page, since they changed their format. I did not change any EPF settings from the previous configuration that has worked flawlessly for many years. Although it does grab the Album pictures, even though I check the "maintain folders" option, it still puts each single picture in its own random folder. I suspect its the new Groups format, but wondered if anyone else had run into this yet, and whether EPF can be made to follow the Albums folder format rather than the Yahoo format.
BTW: Been using the program since V1 and don't know how I would live without it...

Do you download from groups which require login?

Re: Yahoo Groups Pictures 2014
Yes. I use the manual download function. It does log me in and it does download individual photos, but it loses the original album structure, placing each picture in individual folders.
In the site explorer, I use:
Explore all starting addresses as a regular site (using the groups>photos>albums as the starting address)
Current page only>Download files from external sites.
These are the same settings I've used for years as my yahoo groups settings. They worked up until the latest yahoo format changes.

Hmm. OK. Does EPF download entire album or just several pics from the beginning of the album? Can you tell me the group name? I'll test the program.

Re: Yahoo Groups Pictures 2014
That requires a password. Is there an offline email to send the group name, ID and password?

Sure: support@exisoftware.com. Also could you send your project file? You can find the location of the file in the project properties, "Project file" section.
