I've tried many settings to get this to work properly but I ran into a problem. Basically I can get the program to download all the images off the linked page but it won't do more than the first page. Here's the settings I'm using:

http://imagecash.net/gallery.php?gid=263717&public=yes

Followed links - all level
Support for java - enabled
Page location - within current domain
Picture location - anywhere
Page url includes - image; gallery
Picture url include - files

Picture profile - filter out anything under 10kb

Any ideas on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi, ShadyMilkman
i have download several sets of pictures from the site you said.
i create the task with the software's default config and it functioned well. i have set no inluded url.

Hmm thats a little contradictory since you just posted a new thread asking how to do this...

what i aksed in the new thread is how to combine several downloading url in a single task. since the url can not match wildcard format refered in the picaloader help.

besides, i have researched the imagecash, i find that picaloader might omit pictures which match the conditions i set if the connection to the image is out of time(this is only a guess from watching connecting threads in the monitor pannel of picaload. the test is taken with http://www.imagefap.com/gallery.php?gid=165588 and i can not exclude the possibility that www.imagefaq.com may cause the result. for detailed explanation, see http://www.picaloader.com/forum/picaloa ... -t854.html)

first, by analyzing the url http://www.imagecash.net/gallery.php?gid=263613&start=0 . we can see that the manga is seperated by several pages(see the picture below). the urls of pages are http://www.imagecash.net/gallery.php?gid=263613&start=0 , http://www.imagecash.net/gallery.php?gi ... 3&start=15 and .... these pages are what we would like to analyze(each page contains 15 pictures). since the urls do not match wildcard grammar, which i have discussed above. we need to create a task for each url(i do not think analyze the first with unlimited levels is a good idea, this method would cause waste of a lot of time for analyze unwanted url and may cause the problem i discussed in http://www.picaloader.com/forum/picaloa ... -t854.html).

so i suggest you set the "followed links" to be "this page and 1 level" to avoid picaloader analyze unwanted urls. check the option" support j/vb/javascript", because the page you are analyzing need javascript support. select picture filter profile "all pictures but thumbnails". since picaloader would take time for analyze the thumbnails, we can exclude thumbnails in the option "picture url exclude filter" by "/preview/"(this is the keyword in the urlsof thumbnail pictures).

that is ok. you can see that picaloader would work perfect with the above configure.

there is an old famous chinese saying "to teach a person how to fish is far better than to give him fish". i think that you can analyze other websites if you have read the methods carefully enough. the key is make clear the store sture of the pictures of the website.

good luck!
