- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13466023, 7 years agoSeems to be a good idea but it frequently download/archive unatended wird thumbnails randomly of sites i have been to during the day. (youtube, facebook etc.) (BUG) Firefox Quatum 57.0 (64 bit)
Maybe triggered by some unknown shortcut/key but the GUI dos not show. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13019216, 7 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by R.I.P. IE, 7 years agoKinda surprised by the high rating tbh..
Decent effort (and clearly the dev has been looking at the original "Image Picker" addon),
but it just doesn't come even close to its functionality or user friendly interface.
- BIG ONE!: does not save from multiple tabs unfortunately (it doesn't advertise it but it's a HUGE downside)!
- by default saves the images in a folder on your drive (without telling you where)
- interface is not in a floating window but a new tab, so you have to constantly scroll back
to your other tabs you were working from
- virtually no settings in the interface, including none for choosing where to save
- no image (pixel) sizes are shown,
so with multiple versions of the same image (like on Amazon and other webshops that have thumbnails
and often 1 or 2 different higher res versions of the same image) you don't see which is what size
- by default creates a folder for every time you use it (instead of giving you an option to control
yourself where to save).
- breaks other default browser functionality, like simply dragging and dropping an image from a webpage
into a folder in Windows Explorer.
There's more, but these are either very useful or - IMO - absolutely necessary options/functionality
that's missing.Developer response

Added in 0.4.0. The URL and the size of the image is shown when hover on the image.

Fixed in 0.4.0. - Rated 5 out of 5by Bull, 7 years ago[Edit] Pitched an idea in a review, several days later the idea is a reality. Huge props to the dev(s), despite some of the negative reviews, this extension works perfectly and does exactly what I wanted it to do for me. Raising my rating to 5 stars. [/edit]
This seems to be a promising replacement for "Image Picker" that I was using prior to the most recent Firefox update. The feature I used the most before now was the ability to 'shift + click' to save an image to a pre-specified folder. I would love to see this implemented again. Otherwise, great work dev. It works really well. - Rated 5 out of 5by F.Z., 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Techie, 7 years agoGood Extension for the new API, but currently need some more options such as ask the user where to save the images... like "Image Picker"
Developer response
posted 7 years agoAn "Ask me where to save the image" option is added in 0.3.2. You might want to remove the folder part in the filename pattern (Image Picka/${pageTitle}/) - Rated 5 out of 5by Marco Santos, 7 years agoExcellent extension. There is a long way to achieve the greatness of Pick & Save Images, but with the limitations of the current API there’s not much you can do. Thank you!
/* I want to report a (possible) minor bug (I’m using Nightly): when you name your own folder in the filename pattern the extension won’t save or do anything if that name has special characters on it.*/
Edit: stupid me. I tried again an it saved all the images as usual. Forget it, there´s no bug. Thank you. :)Developer response
posted 7 years agoWhich special characters? There is a chance that when the filename is invalid (e.g. ?|<>:"* on Windows), Firefox would refuse to download the file. This extension would convert these characters to their Unicode form if the character is inside the variables. - Rated 5 out of 5by AnonyBull, 7 years agoThank you very very very much!!! Toolbar button.. Now Perfect!!!
It's a little bit trivial... Toolbar button does not match Compact Dark theme, button is not visible. --> Resolved! Thanks!
