not4chan grab

what's the url for the not4chan grab firefox extension? the one that grabs all the images in a thread

>>120
jawesome

Just posting to say that you're fucking awesome, Josh.

>>122
agreed

btw is there any way to selectively delete the recent save paths? i don't know where those locations are stored, so i could edit it manually.

would be nice if this worked on 4chanarchive

first off, josh this thing is awesome and i love you for putting in the effort to maintain and improve this sweet tool. but I'm having a weird problem with it, the 4chan grab shows on the right click menu and the chooser shows up fine but when i click save the options go grayed out as normal but it doesn't download anything and just sits there till i close it. i was thinking my isp was blocking the img.4chan server or something but i can download the images fine by right click- save as so I'm kinda at a loss at what the problem is. any suggestions would be help full, thanks

>>126 here, just figured it out, it was windows 7 being strict about where i could have write access in certain folders XD.
anyway awesome job again josh.

Thanks for remaking the addon. I was so pissed when not4chan grab wasn't supported anymore. Glad I got sick enough of download them all and googled this.

Hey, for some reason, Josh's addon conflicts with the 4chan sauce greasemonkey script where it has links to tineye, iqdb, and saucenao next to each image. The grabber ends up downloading the webpage of the tineye search and saves it as an image file so it shows up corrupt.

I just easily get around this by disabling greasemonkey using the icon on the status bar and refreshing the page.

I use the 4chan sauce script to and haven't seen any conflicts. Move it to the top of your 4chan scripts to see if that helps.

Sorry its taken so long to get this update out. I got swamped with some consulting projects but I finally have some free time to finish this over the weekend.

Ive added 4chanarchive support, fixed the windows filename bug, added the option to remember your previous window location, and am working on the auto-update part tonight. If you have any other suggestions let me know because this might be my last update for awhile.

Hey Josh, I have one suggestion and two more very minor ones.  I'm using Windows.

Could there be a way to clear the recent folders?  As of right now, it's possible to paste or type arbitrary text into the editable menulist and I'm presuming that it stays there until pushed out.  But I always save to one or two folders only, so things like that could potentially remain visible there forever.

Also, could you please make it so hitting escape closes the window?

Finally, is it possible to select more than one list item at a time by keyboard or mouse?  The old version doesn't do that, but I guess it's not that important since the toggle button makes things a little easier already.

Thanks a ton for even picking up this project.

Josh is it possible to make an option so that you can change where each picture is saved to? Instead of having to open a new not4chan window you can just change the saving destination for each picture.
Also I'm using windows 7 and each time I open the extension I need to expand the the folder list, not sure if it's because of win 7 or the extension. But can you make it so that it opens the whole folder tree structure by 1 folder deepness?

Thanks Josh, I thought the grabber was dead. Much appreciated!

ALLRIGHT! Sorry for the delay in this release. I kind of got stuck between the new complete re-write and the old code. The next release will be 2.0 and is a complete rewrite from the ground up. This will have support for auto-update, customizable key commands, compatibility with 4chan sauce, the ability to add any new site easily, and complete control over renaming individual files or every file automatically and their save locations. Im about 85% done with everything and just need to work out the bugs so it should be released in the next few weeks.

With that out of the way, heres the changes for this release:

17 Feb 2010 - 1.18
http://jooshed.com/share/sw/4chanGrab-1.18.xpi

started complete re-code
Fixed Windows filename bug that would freeze on illegal characters
Added option to remove all save location history
Added support for 4chanarchive.org

Added a Preference window with options for:
+ Auto Close Window After Completion
+ Replace Illegal Windows Characters
+ Hiding Alerts on Completion (avoids getting stuck in an alert loop when choosing a file to upload)
+ Number of Recent Paths to Remember
+ Ghetto Recent Path Editor

Sorry for the crappy path history editor, I have a proper one but I removed all the 2.0 code just to get this release out tonight so its a mess. If theres any bugs please let me know so I can update the installer for everyone else.

You were right and I had modified my script. This will be fixed in the next release.

I think I know what your talking about but could you please expand on that issue?

Just a few things I'm noticing in Windows XP:

 - High system DPI settings (133 in my case) mean the default window size is too small, buttons are half obscured, Cancel is not visible at all.

 - Window has no maximize/minimize widgets or resize ability (dragging cursor to window edge doesn't allow resize) to work around above problem.  Maximize used to show in window menu (right-click in title bar) when I tabbed over to Cancel and hit space, but after closing window with Alt-F4, it no longer shows up.

 - Prefs window has a string of strange characters visible on the right side that follows wherever you click

 - URL in About window points to .com.com address

I haven't encountered any illegal characters to test that functionality yet.

Sorry about that, my brain was mush last night and I left 2 different sets of code and edited the wrong one. This should fix the window resize issue and add the minimize/maximize buttons. Even if its too small to start it will remember the size you resize it to.

Thanks for the quick update.  I can resize this one, but I still have no maximize/minimize buttons, and maximize is still not available in the window menu.

Do you think it might help for me to delete the prefs file manually?  Where is it located?  I've already tried uninstalling the old 1.8 extension before adding the new version, but the old prefs were still in effect.

ack, double post

Every time I open a not4chan window and click on folder it shows only the one folder I recently saved the pics too. I have to click the little arrow next to the folder to expand the whole folder structure.

get FLASHGOT and DOWNTHEMALL
and you'll be all set

>>142
You'll be all set to lose original filenames, bro.

Is there any way we can edit this ourselves for different image boards?

>>144
You can change the .jar file to a .zip and edit the contents yourself, but the next release will have a panel in the preferences to add your own sites.

If you have any you specifically want added, list them here and Ill try to add them.

I'm not sure I'm savvy enough to do that. I might try it eventually.
Although how would the preferences work? I would have thought you needed different code for different sites.
Also thanks for this by the way.

yea

yup

josh could you upload a version that does not fight with the 4chan menu extension Firefox thinks they are the same file and the actually fight.

New extension works with firefox 3.6 ???

Yes. I am using it just fine now.

An interesting change might be to have the downloaded name as (generated number) - (original filename)(extension). That would prevent repeated names, and get you the original filenames at the same time. Easily undone with Ant Renamer or something.

>>153
I would like this, but it would probably only be good as an optional setting for the "Renumber" button, not as a setting for default behavior.

Jooshed appears to be down. Any idea where I can grab the extension?

Jooshed is down, a mirror would be nice.

Yup, the link no longer works. Please repost.

A repost would be greatly appreciated by all. If anyone has access to the extension, please upload!

I think I have the file left somewhere in my desktop machine. I'll check when I get home and report back.
