Add album option to download all #46

Closed Mech0z closed 5 years ago

Mech0z commented 7 years ago

Would be nice if it was possible to click "Download to albums" when downloading all photos,

Its pretty hard to srot them afterwards because they get datetime.today timestamp

floydpink commented 7 years ago

Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion - will try and put this into one of the options that can be set for downloading all the photos.

And I am guessing downloading each of the albums individually is probably not an option for you?

Mech0z commented 7 years ago

Of course its an option, the other would just be far easier :) but maybe I will try to clone it. Also just having an option to put photos in these folders would be nice Year\Month

As said the problem when downloading bulk is that file history says 30-12-2016 or whenever I downloaded it and therefore hard to sort afterwards

Can you maybe tell me the difference between ConsumerSecret and SharedSecret ?

When I applied for a flickr api key I got a Key and a secret

floydpink commented 7 years ago

The SharedSecret is any arbitrary string that is used as the key to encrypt fickr-provided "api key" (ConsumerKey in the Secrets.cs module) and flickr-provided "secret" (ConsumerSecret).

And this unit test should help generate the encryptedConsumerKey and ConsumerSecret (with your specific SharedSecret being used as the CryptKey there).

All this is just to deter the sniffing of the official Api Key and Secret by increasing the barrier.

Never figured this out, any chance you could add this feature or make a more detailed guide to compiling the code :)

bissquitt commented 6 years ago

I second this request. Was looking for a fork to do just that. We have over 2000 albums in our flickr, sorting them after would be impossible, and selecting each 1 by 1 would be tedious. If I select an album and on the next page do download all, it does exactly what I want with naming the folder after the album...I just need it to do that for every album I have. This is the one feature I haven't seen in any other flickr downloader.

@Mech0z - also, the download albums feature was implemented a while ago

bissquitt commented 5 years ago

@floydpink - Downloading albums was implemented but that was not the request. You can't download multiple albums at once. I currently have hundreds of albums. Currently I have 2 options:

1) download all pictures and lose all metadata associated with which album it is in

2) download a single album, go back, wait for it to reload the list of albums, click the next one, spend a month doing this for each of the 100+ albums
