Bulk Image Download Software? (10)
Anyone know of a good bulk image software tool for Mac? Looking for something that takes your keyword and searches and scrapes images.
If you have some basic programming skills, I'd heartily recommend knocking a quick script together using Ruby and Nokugiri to do this. It's spectacularly easy to do using that particular combination - 30 lines of code or less.
I was considering writing a tutorial on doing just that, at some point - would people find that useful?
If you're not up for the coding, the Firefox extension Thumbsdown works pretty well for this, although it does require some minimal human intervention.
I don't have coding/programming knowledge really, so that option is out. I'm also on a Mac, not sure if it matters. I'll check out the Firefox plugin, I may even wind out outsourcing this into a desktop application, couldn't believe how few of them are available.
Interesting! Sorry I couldn't be of more specific help - let me know how the FF plugin works for you.
If you're still short a solution in a week or two, I'll write up that tutorial!
I use Firefox Plugin call "Download Them all "
1. Find web page you want to download image
2. Right click on page and Select Download them all
3. choose " picture and Media" and select folder you want to save
That is you can download TON of image in minute. Hope it help
I found one That I loaded onto a VM.
It opens the pages image only in its own browser and offers options on saving them renaming etc.
Its called Bulk Image Down loader and they have addons for FF and Chrome. Its 25 bucks but they have a ten day trail so use a VM and ...
@Luxus - Thumbsdown is an extension of DownThemAll. Darn good piece of software.
BTW, nice pic tutorial!
@sandy - interesting. Does that mean you have to manually approve downloading every image, or am I misunderstanding?
I'm preparing something special for this, the CrazyCTR extension will become 10x more useful. If you have feature ideas for this kind of tool PM me.

I wish down them all showed thumbnails of what it has collected so I can make choices better.
You are on a mac... Read up on automator, it is natively installed on your app.
It has actions that allow you to download images and whole websites automated.
specificlally, have a look at: create service or create application
then actions:
get image urls
download urls

PSPS: I personally prefer "create service" simply because creating a service will add a right click menu, so you could right click on any website and select: services--->your image scraper service, and it would automatically download everything. I'm sure you could even automate it further and feed the service a list of website urls and it would download all images from all the sites in your list.
