[KoalaBear]

Now PL v1.53 works.
For example, we want download all pics under tag "baby", so we look at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/baby with IE, wooo it have 1380000+ pics, so we just download the first 5 pages to have a look:
Start URL:http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/baby/?page=[1-5]
We only want the jpg files, so select All JPG Pictures from Picture filter profile.
And the pic's page we want just at the index page's next level, so select This page and 1 level(s) from Followed links.
We found the all pic's page just like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/obsession88/1662464712/, all with /(lage number)/ at tail, so we add Page URL Include Filters: /\d+/$
The thumbnail pics with _t.jpg or _s.jpg at tail, and we needn't site's icons, so add Picture URL Exclude Filters: _t\.jpg$;_s\.jpg$;icons/

OK.

koala bear this downloads small sized images only... waht if i want to downlaod original sized images..???

[KoalaBear]

It's not "small" size pics, it "Medium" size pics, Flickr show you medium size pics as default.

If you also wanna download the "Large" pics, you can try to change Page URL Include Filters to /\d+/$;/\d+/sizes/o/$;/\d+/sizes/l/$
and change Followed links to This page and 2 levels
check attached pic.

[roopam005]

kindly help me solving my query

[KoalaBear]

seems like it's a impossible mission for a auto downloader, but now, we have HTML Parser Script:)
For only download the biggest pics:

Start URL:http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/baby/?page=[1-5]
HTML Parser Script:

if (HTML.Level==0) then
for u in string.gmatch(HTML.Content,'pc_t"><a href=%b""') do
local url='http://www.flickr.com' .. string.sub(u,16,-2);
AddLink(url,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,1);
end;
else
if (HTML.Level==1) then
local s1,e1=string.find(HTML.Content,'button_bar_notext"><a href=%b""');
if (s1 and e1) then
local url2='http://www.flickr.com' .. string.sub(HTML.Content,s1+28,e1-1);
AddLink(url2,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,2);
else
local s2,e2=string.find(HTML.Content,'class="photoImgDiv"><img src=%b""');
if (s2 and e2) then
local url3=string.sub(HTML.Content,s2+30,e2-1);
AddLink(url3,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,1);
end;
end;
else
if (HTML.Level==2) then
if (string.sub(HTML.Url,-3) == '/o/') then
local s3,e3=string.find(HTML.Content,'<p><img src=%b""');
if (s3 and e3) then
local url4=string.sub(HTML.Content,s3+13,e3-1);
AddLink(url4,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,2);
end;
else
local s4,e4=string.find(HTML.Content,'/o/"');
if (s4 and e4) then
local url5=string.sub(HTML.Url,1,-4) .. '/o/';
AddLink(url5,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,2);
else
local s5,e5=string.find(HTML.Content,'<p><img src=%b""');
if (s5 and e5) then
local url6=string.sub(HTML.Content,s5+13,e5-1);
AddLink(url6,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,2);
end;
end;
end;
end;
end;
end;

[KoalaBear]

the site structure changed, so we have to change our script to this:

if (HTML.Level==0) then
for u in string.gmatch(HTML.Content,'pc_t"><a href=%b""') do
local url='http://www.flickr.com' .. string.sub(u,16,-2);
AddLink(url,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,1);
end;
else
if (HTML.Level==1) then
local s1,e1=string.find(HTML.Content,'page_p.zoomUrl = %b\'\'');
if (s1 and e1) then
local url2='http://www.flickr.com' .. string.sub(HTML.Content,s1+18,e1-1);
AddLink(url2,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,2);
else
local s2,e2=string.find(HTML.Content,'class="photoImgDiv"><img src=%b""');
if (s2 and e2) then
local url3=string.sub(HTML.Content,s2+30,e2-1);
AddLink(url3,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,1);
end;
end;
else
if (HTML.Level==2) then
if (string.sub(HTML.Url,-3) == '/o/') then
local s3,e3=string.find(HTML.Content,'<p><img src=%b""');
if (s3 and e3) then
local url4=string.sub(HTML.Content,s3+13,e3-1);
AddLink(url4,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,2);
end;
else
local s4,e4=string.find(HTML.Content,'/o/"');
if (s4 and e4) then
local url5=string.sub(HTML.Url,1,-4) .. '/o/';
AddLink(url5,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,2);
else
local s5,e5=string.find(HTML.Content,'<p><img src=%b""');
if (s5 and e5) then
local url6=string.sub(HTML.Content,s5+13,e5-1);
AddLink(url6,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,'',HTML.TaskID,2);
end;
end;
end;
end;
end;
end;


I attached a new plt file, you can delete the old task and import this one.
