Small glossary

  • image initialization – getting the original image's data (source link, tag list, etc.)
  • empty image – the image that is tracked by the script, but not initialized
  • busy image – the image that is in progress of the initialization
  • ready image – the image that is initialized

Quick start

By default the script initializes all the available images on the start2. The initialized image is indicated by the yellow colored status bar on its bottom.
2 If some images aren't initialized, use Shift+I hotkey to complete initialization

  • Hotkeys
    1. Shift+A - download all the ready (initialized) images
    2. Shift+D - switch the Download Mode on/off
    3. Shift+I - (re)initialize the images
      it is usefull for imageboards with auto paging, or when some images are not initialized due to an error 429 (too many requests)
    4. Shift+M - open/close the user menu window
    5. Shift+V - open/close the viewer
    6. Left/Right - view previous/next image1
  • Image downloading
    • In order to download the ready image, the Download Mode must be activated: use Shift+D hotkey, or press "Download Mode" button. Once the Download Mode is activated3, make a simple click on the image (thumbnail) to start the download. The downloading progress is indicated by the blue colored progress bar on the image's bottom. After the donwload is complete, the color of the image's status bar is changed to green.
    • One can also download the ready image by clicking on the "Download" button on the viewer's navigation bar.
    • To download all the ready images, use hotkey Shift+A, or press the "Download All" button. The amount of the ready images is visible on the button's name, e.i. 20 images are result in the name "Download All (20)", and if 4 images are downloaded, then the name is "Download All (4/20)".
  • Image viewing
    In order to open the viewer, use hotkey Shift+V, or press the "Viewer" button. By default, the first image is loaded on the first open. To start viewing, the image must be initialized. There are 3 ways to navigate when viewing:
    1. Left/Right1 hotkeys
    2. a simple click on the thumbnails (right sidebar)4
    3. the "Prev"/"Next" buttons on the viewer's navigation bar (bottom)4
    The tag list of the viewed image is shown on the left sidebar.

3 The enabled "Download Mode" button has suffix "[on]", disabled one - "[off]"
4 The viewer's thumbnails and navigation bar are hidden, they fade in when the mouse cursor is over the right side/bottom of the viewer window

  • You can download the image only once per page open - if the image is downloaded, the script sets its state as "downloaded", and that image is no more available for download, unless you refresh the site page.
  • When downloading large amount of images at a time (e.i. by clicking the "Download All (40)" button), it may cause the error 429 (too many requests), that results in stop of downloading. Wait a little, then try again (click the "Downalod All" button again) to resume downloading.

Script configuration (user options)

This script uses GM.setValue/GM.getValue API to save/load the configuration data. The user interface is attached to the popup window (user options' window).
