- Rated 3 out of 5by Remy.H, 5 years agoUnfortunately the project seem to be dead. Developer not updating and not looking at project page anymore :( I wish someone would take it and continue the work!
A resurrection after few months is very nice even if it is the result of a bad rating!Developer response
posted 5 years agoThis addons works just fine and has the most important things it needs (and then some - I already find it too bloated compared to my original vision for it). I don't think it's fair of you to rate the addon itself lowly just because I don't implement all the non-essential extra fluff people open up request tickets on gitlab for. Ratings are supposed to indicate/be based on the quality of the addon as it is right now, not be used as a knife to put pressure on devs to add extra features you want. If it works fine for its intended use and has some extra bells and whistles, you can't justify 1 star. - Rated 5 out of 5by lm211, 5 years ago

posted 5 years agoYou should really explain why. I know there are issues with it, but the essentials work fine. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14299825, 5 years agoThank you Marnes. I tried Double Click way back, I guess it got lost in all the updating going on. Anyway, since my gallery downloader is now almost useless, I was looking at other ways to get a series of images, dreading doing Save As until my fingers bled, when I noticed this gem was still around, although with recent Firefox updates it seems to be fighting the tide to stay alive.
Anyway, it just made my afternoon and evening so much more productive, I haven't lost my sanity, and my fingers aren't bleeding. Also, loved your replies to people in the reviews that blame you when it's Firefox changes that upset some of Double Clicks features.
I've had issues with the Hover Button positioning on some direct images, but it's been mentioned at Gitlab and you said you might look into it if time allows. The bottom line is that your time and effort is appreciated by some of us, so 5 stars all the way. Thank you.Developer response
posted 5 years agoGlad you like it so much and thanks for the kind words. I do wish I had more time and energy to work on my addons, but work has been so draining for me the last 2 years I just can't do what I have to do anymore. I'm not sure when I'll ever get around to fixing all the issues with DID anymore, even though it's honestly sinking below my own quality demands by now. - Rated 5 out of 5by adamchandy2, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Attila, 5 years agoNICE!
Kiváló! Végre egy termék azt csinálja, amit elvárok tőle.
Ez az igazi alternatíva a "Down them all" után, sőt, még jobb is.
Egyetlen hátránya talán, hogy nem tud tömbből linken át menteni, azaz indexképből eredetit,
hanem kénytelen vagy magát az eredeti képet behívni, és csak onnan megy közvetlenül.
Mindenképpen ajánlom!
Még béta verzióban is többet tud pár agyon bonyolított használhatatlan programnál! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14193204, 5 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by ziess, 5 years agoProbably has some potential, but does not work on all sites. Take for example any album from www.muziekweb.nl : the hover button simply does not appear (both for thumbnails and full-size covers). One can use https://www.muziekweb.nl/Link/KJX0815/Iran-les-ma%C3%AEtres-de-la-musique-traditionnelle-vol-1 as a test.
UPDATE
Please stop blaming web-sites for deficiencies of your add-on. Those images are available through direct URLs and the web-site does not prevent you from downloading them. And yes, modern web-sites are dynamic and display content in various ways. This is reality.Developer response
posted 5 years agoUnfortunately not all websites are the same, and some use all kinds of layout tricks that prevent addons like this from realistically working, or even specifically protect their images from copying tools. I feel like you're trying to paint this as a shortcoming or flaw, but that's a little unfair. Webdevs will always find ways to hinder tools like this, on.purpose or coincidentally. There is no addon that works perfectly for all.
Update: yes, of course any visible image is by definition available to download, the problem is with websites doing all kinds of weird-ass shit to satisfy their sometimes arbitrary layout decisions and completely violating web standards in the process, or just using complicated css nonsense that can completely throw tools like this off-track. My addon is able to work through most of those things, but you can't expect 1 generic little piece of code to be able to perfectly circumvent everything a human dev can come up with that makes its life harder. Write an algorithm yourself and submit it in a PR, Mr. Perfect, or be satisfied that it works 99% of the time. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13150915, 5 years agoDoes what it says and works really well, but the options are limited. Some people might like that but I prefer the flexibility. The more you can customize the add-on, the less add-ons you need overall to get it to do what you want,
For instance, I'd really like to disabled it in the context menu but there's no such option.
