KoalaBear, please help with Whatboyswant.com new system?

[mikeislong]

It seems like they are not using any extentions for their picture files. KoalaBear, you posted how to download from them a while ago, I tried the .plp file out, and somehow it's not working anymore. The same webpage http://whatboyswant.com/babeoverview/5. I also tried to play around with the settings and nothing worked. Will you be kind enough to help me?

Thanks! Mike

Start URL:http://whatboyswant.com/babeoverview/5/[1-10]/
(please instead [1-10] with the pages that you want download, not too much per time:)).
Uncheck Support J/VB/JavaScript
Page URL Include Filters:/showpicture/\d+/\d+/category$;/norm/
Page URL Exclude Filters:/login/
Picture URL Include Filters:/norm/

the picture file on this site havn't ext name, you can select main menu->Project->Properties, then check Customeize Filename and enter FNAME+"."+TYPE

KoalaBear, Thanks so much for your fast response! Everything is working PERFECTLY now, you saved me so much headache :0).
I am actually really curious how the script works, can you please answer my questions when you have a chance?
1. Page URL Include Filters:/showpicture/\d+/\d+/category$;/norm/, does this mean we want to include webpage address that is /showpicture/some digits/some digits/category? What does the $ do? The ;/norm/ means AND page address that contains "norm"?
2. I tried before to just give it the actual page that contain the picture, like http://whatboyswant.com/showpicture/1040022/1/category, with the settings below: Follow Links: This page and 1 level (I tried just "This page" and how come it doesn't work?). Picture URL Include: /norm/. Picture URL Exclude: /thumb (To get rid of the thumbnail pictures, how come it still grabs the thumb pictures?)
3. Since the picture didn't have an extension, how did PicaLoader still find it, and when the picture doesn't have extension, do we have to use the the Picture Profile Filter of: All Pictures?
I am pretty new to this program, so sorry for all these questions, when you have a chance, would you be kind enough again to answer them?

Thanks in advance!

1. Page URL Include Filters:/showpicture/\d+/\d+/category$;/norm/, does this mean we want to include webpage address that is /showpicture/some digits/some digits/category?

Yes!

What does the $ do?

$ means at the end of URL.
so /showpicture/\d+/\d+/category$ means include URLs that end with /showpicture/some digits/some digits/category

The ;/norm/ means AND page address that contains "norm"?

Yes

so /showpicture/\d+/\d+/category$;/norm/ means include URLs end with /showpicture/some digits/some digits/category and URLs that contain norm

2. I tried before to just give it the actual page that contain the picture, like http://whatboyswant.com/showpicture/1040022/1/category, with the settings below: Follow Links: This page and 1 level (I tried just "This page" and how come it doesn't work?). Picture URL Include: /norm/. Picture URL Exclude: /thumb (To get rid of the thumbnail pictures, how come it still grabs the thumb pictures?)

For this site, because the pics's URL have not ext name, PicaLoader look them as page URL not a picture URL when found them by referrer link. so, for exclude thumbnail by URL, you can add /thumb to Page URL Exclude Filter, not Picture URL Exclude Filter.

3. Since the picture didn't have an extension, how did PicaLoader still find it, and when the picture doesn't have extension, do we have to use the the Picture Profile Filter of: All Pictures?

If PicaLoader can't find out a URL's file type by URL, it will get and analyst file's header to find out its type and other infomations.
But if we can exclude pics by URL, we'd better not to use Picture Profile Filter, for performance reason:)
