Batch Download Pictures From Website

Hmmm what do you mean? It's done now but do you mean originally I was doing it wrong?

Hi I found this post extremely helpful as I also was looking to download all the files from my photobucket album. I was just wondering how to save all the files into a single folder, as opposed to multiple folders labled 0-9, A-Z.

I'd like to keep the original file names as well. The pictures spread out in the previously named folders have random strings as the filenames

Thanks and I hope you cant get back to me soon!

Hi,

-> Project -> Properties:
Under "Folder Struct":
Select Lite Project
Under "Picture Filename":
Select Original Filename

You can of course use other settings as well - I personally find the Option "Create a subfolder for each task" quite helpfull.

Thanks a lot Nairolf, I should've picked up on that myself haha. But thanks for the help!

Hello, anyone could help me please? I'm new here, and I've tried this tutorial and everything works fine, except that I only get the files from my main photobucket folder, can't get images from subfolders.

My Photobucket account:

If anyone knows what I can do I'll be really thankful

Extremely useful topic. I've been able to download a bunch of albums that I've been visiting a long time ago. The only problem I've been having is that I get twice the same image (for example 01096-1110881892615.jpg and 01096-1110881892615_1.jpg), and I haven't been able to solve it :/ Is there anyway?

@honeyflash: I'm afraid you'll have to create some new tasks to download the albums one by one. Keep all filters same, but change URL from

http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m299 ... lla-heart/

to

http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m299 ... stontheme/

Doing the same with all albums to download one by one. I've been working 5 minutes with Picaloader, and I still don't know if there's an automatic option to download all albums, but you can that use instead.

Thanks Koalabear for the filters and Nairolf for your contribution ^^

Hello again,

I have tried both settings posted here and I still couldn't download my album. The one KoalaBear posted only gets me .jpg's (I want the *.gif's and *.png's too! ) the downloadable one gets me nothing. x_x
If anyone tries to download my album and it works, please let me know.

Thx

new version of PicaLoader support HTML Parser Script, so we can using it to let PicaLoader only download "full size" pictures from photobucket:
Start URL:http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m299/cinderella-heart/
Page URL Include Filters:/\?mediafilter=images$;/\?start=\d+&mediafilter=images$;/\?action=view&current=
Page URL Exclude Filters:\%23$
Picture URL Include Filters:/albums/
(change this if you download other user's album)
Picture URL Exclude Filters:/t_
HTML Parser Script:
if (string.find(HTML.Url,'action=view')) then
local s,e=string.find(HTML.Content,'img id="fullImage"');
if (s and e) then
s,e=string.find(HTML.Content,'src=%b""',e+1);
if (s and e) then
local url=string.sub(HTML.Content,s+5,e-1);
s,e=string.find(HTML.Content,'alt=%b""',e+1);
if (s and e) then
local title=string.sub(HTML.Content,s+5,e-1);
AddLink(url,HTML.Url,title,'',HTML.TaskID,2);
end
end
end
else
DefaultParser(HTML.Content,HTML.Url,HTML.Title,HTML.TaskID,HTML.Level);
end


That's all.

Or just download attached PLT file and select main menu->Tasks->Import Task to import it to your project and enter your start URL.
