I already found what's causing the problem with the numbers. When the original Starting URL is getting redirected. So this one is already fixed in my development version. Now I'm adding some options for the folder name creation. Right now I see it like this: there will be 3 checkboxes allowing users to select parts of the folder name:

1. Starting URL number
2. Starting URL domain name
3. Full Starting URL

You will be able to check all 3 or only 1 or 2.

Do you have any other options in mind?

that sounds really good!

that gives at least two ways to match the results back to the starting URL's

looking forward to harvesting images!!

once the bug is fixed, the app looks like it works amazingly :-)



I do have a separate new feature desire, to capture a 'full page' screenshot of every starting URL!

That's a little bit out of scope of a program that was designed to download the files, don't you think? ;-) But I'll add it to the request list.

Hi Maxim

is there any chance I could get a copy of this version?

"So this one is already fixed in my development version."

it would solve my problem

hoping to be able to download all weekend, it makes me feel like I'm working!

thanks

Matthew

Sorry, can't do that. It's already half way through the development of other options. Can't share something that's half-working.
