Thumbnail Issues / URL Naming Help

Post by envision » 23 Jun 2013, 06:05

Hi -- Firstly - Thanks for this AWESOME product.

I was reading > viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2879 and found it to be very helpful -- but I am running into an issue now.

http://www.exbii.com/showthread.php?t=1163344 - Example Thread

When I use the settings - it downloads a DSC00001.jpg - which is a thumbnail, a DSC00001-001.jpg - which is a 2-4KB .jpg file and THEN it downloads the original -- full size image which always is DSC00001-002.jpg.

The original file ends with DSCxxxxx-002.jpg -- is there anything I can put into the included/excluded URL section to only download items ending in xxxxx-002.jpg?

Any help is appreciated :)

Hello,

Why don't you use file size limits? It's in project properties, "Limits -> File size" section. Set it to minimum 20KB or 50KB.

Or Image size limits? It will prevent the download of small images and the full-size original will have the original file name.

Thanks Maxim. That's one of the many things I tried yesterday. It seems to work OK but I have a weird feeling I am not getting all images.

Anyways -- in combination with the size limit - I am finding that excluding 'pzy.be/v/' and 'http://pzy.be/t/' also helps.

I have actually hit a bigger challenge now -- example site http://www.exbii.com/showthread.php?t=1238284

Its only getting links for Thumbnails > http://img30.pixroute.com/i/00563/xylcwecz9xzz_t.jpg not the actual image >> http://img30.pixroute.com/i/00563/xylcwecz9xzz.jpg

Any ideas on how I can rectify this?


~EDIT~

Fixed by adding pixroute.com to included urls!

One more question --

Example Link:
http://www.exbii.com/showthread.php?t=883001&page=196

No matter what settings I try - it either only downloads the thumbnails (http://pzy.be/t/) or nothing at all (eg. restrict it by size) -- any idea why this would be happening?

It looks like you must not exclude

pzy.be/v/

This is the address of any full-size image page. That's why you don't get any results. Am I right?

I just created a test project where I excluded everything

.*

and added the following "Included URLs"

pzy.be/v/
pzy.be/i/
883001&page=\d+

And I got all the images.
