- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13700469, 8 years agoIt is really wonderful how, when this extension activates, it grays out the image for a second to let you know that it worked, and it also shows the file name on the right side to ensure that you've not accidentally saved the same picture twice. If it happens that two different pictures being saved have the same name on the website, it kindly automatically adds a number to the end of the file name so there is no hassle! It didn't work for me before I updated to Firefox 57, but that really was a matter of updating Firefox. 5 stars, thank you developer!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13680229, 8 years agoWorks really well. Only problem I have is the notifications for downloads stay on screen for a bit longer than I'd like, can't figure out how to change the duration if it's possible. Also, it seems to tell me that an 'image' has been downloaded whenever I finish any download, even if it's not an image. But I can still rate 5 stars, these are pretty minor issues compared to how much trouble this add-on saves me.

posted 8 years agoSorry, how long the notifications stay on screen isn't for my addon to decide. The issue with other downloads is an old one that should be fixed since long ago. Are you sure your firefox and addon are up to date? Please use my listed email address to reply. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13615247, 8 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Simon, 8 years agoExtremely handy. A little bug is that when an small image is opened by itself (for example, by right click and select "View image" on an image), the hover button is on the top of the window, and is impossible to click.

- Rated 5 out of 5by bfdd51, 8 years agoUseful!
but..
does not work if the URL contains a symbol (: # etc.)
e.g.
Good - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DOgPppMU8AATQmT.jpg
Bad - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DOgPppMU8AATQmT.jpg:origDeveloper response
posted 8 years agoGlad you like it. Sorry it doesn't work well on twitter, but that's part to blame on twitter with their weird :orig URLs. If they just followed normal conventions, everything would work fine. That goes for all addons like this that need to analyze webpage content: the more the website deviates from standards and "does their own weird little thing", the more they'll break integration. - Rated 5 out of 5by StMalKavian, 8 years agoThe addon was cool when it worked. It had cons though: popup about finishing downloads appeared even when I was downloading non-pictures (for example, RAR files). Now it doesn't work at all, I have to use other addons. :(
Update: reinstallation helped (with restarting Firefox). The developer responds to requests really quickly.Developer response
posted 8 years agoThe wrong popups were a bug I fixed long ago. "Not working at all" is not normal, sounds like there's a personal issue with your browser. I'm very much alive and keeping my addons working.
If you post in the correct place (a gitlab issue aka the "support site" on the main page here, or an email to me) instead of misusing the review feature (I swear, it's like a trend nowadays) I'll gladly try to find out the problem and fix it for you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Daering, 8 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13478321, 8 years agoit is what it says it is.nothing to say about that.but it would be much better if you can add another hover button for "save as" function.

posted 8 years agoAdd another hover button? You mean a different look for it? Post an issue on gitlab or email me for further discussion please.
Edit: since you're not doing it yourself: https://gitlab.com/Marnes/doubleclick-image-downloader/issues/37 - Rated 5 out of 5by Bull, 8 years agoI'm very excited for the progression of this add-on. I used Image Picker, pre-version 57, exclusively for the ability to shift+click an image to auto save to a relatively organized and dedicated folder. This addon is on a path to be the perfect replacement for me. I hope that choosing and saving a specific save folder rather than using the browser's default download location gets implemented as the subfolder system rolls out. I would also like to see support for saving Instagram photos.
Either way--great addon, works very well and my browsing experience feels more back to normal now.Developer response
posted 8 years agoDownloading to a folder outside the browser's default download dir is not possible (even if I wanted to, it cannot be done) and an anti-feature anyway for technical reasons (hence why they made it impossible).
Sorry about the subfolder and rename feature being broken at the moment, but that's due to firefox's incomplete API. It works in chrome.
If I remember correctly, nstagram is one of a few hosts that have a very strange internal layout on their webpages that makes it impossible or very difficult for an addon to download their images. Twitter and a few others are also guilty of it. I can give them another close look to see if I can fix it but there are no promises. Developer response
posted 8 years agoIsn't the "Save image as..." menu command in your browser good enough? My addons are not meant to include everything and the kitchen sink, only to fill gaps in what browsers offer.
