Greasemonkey script for Scrapbook downloading

[vinnie_tesla]

I cast about for a while for a way to download more than one Scrapbook image at a time, and didn't manage to find anything.

So I threw together a wee Greasemonkey script that alters gallery links so they point to the images rather than HTML pages. This allows me to use a real downloader like DownThemAll to grab a gallery's worth of images at once

OMG thank you! I'm not using this to download images but you've just made SB somewhat practical. No more clicking and clicking and clicking to get the right URL!

[vinnie_tesla]

You're very welcome. I'm glad it's useful for you.

I'd love to be able to use this for posting, since scrapbook never gives me the full-size-posting option *will check tomorrow*

Can you elaborate on how one would use this in practical terms? I'm all for using as few different tools as possible, but my technical knowledge and ambition are very limited.

there are some GM scripts out there that query documents other than the current page that you're on and are then able to retrieve returned data from the other pages.

if we're on a GalleryPage we could have a "Download All" link/button/thingy that would then do the following:

• query the XML document provided by the server that contains links to all of the images in the gallery
• retrieve those links
• prompt downloads of all those links, ideally, it would queue it into the downloads window, more ideally with a prompt of a destination folder

and then you're good to go.

how exactly to do all that in JS however is beyond my skillset.

while we're on scrapbook, why won't LJ implement ftp access? bulletproofFTP >> windows publisher.

^ What they said.

Yeah. I hate having to turn on common folder tasks every time I want to upload some images.

Awesome, thank you!
