Save all images on a page + Firefox #283

Ability to save all images on a page in particular folder if possible ?

This could help download albums from picasa, google+, flickr, facebook, etc.

+

Firefox support or greasemonkey.
Reason:Google Chrome is known to transmit data back to the google servers. It 
can only be guessed what happens “behind the scenes”.

HZ is one of the greatest extensions i've ever used.

Hover Zoom version: Auto-Updates
Google Chrome version:
Operating system: Win 7 x64

I won't add such a feature, sorry. It would be cumbersome and it's not Hover 
Zoom's purpose. Saving the image you're currently viewing is a "contextual 
feature", downloading full albums is a whole different topic, it's not about 
zooming images anymore.
About Firefox support, it's in the works but I can't predict a release date.

I'm sorry you are getting me wrong. There are lots of events that take place in 
our friends circle and the current trend is that we make private albums on 
picasa, flickr or facebook. The traditional method of going to their place 
getting the stuff if kind of time consuming so we share like this.

I totally agree with your privacy concerns but if you see facebook or G+ you 
cannot view anyone's albums and if someone's in your friend list then it he/she 
is there for some reason, right ?

The benefit of having this feature is not only for social sites but also on 
forums, lets take humor for example i save lots of funny images on my lappy so 
that we frnds can have fun when we are outstation.

I am not trying to convince you to do something wrong but justifying the facts.

I'll be eagerly waiting for a Firefox release :)

TYVM

OK, I'll make sure that I understand exactly what you're asking for.
Is it:
#1 A shortcut to save all images from a page, in one single operation.
#2 An options to assign local folders to websites for image saving (ex: your 
"facebook" folder for Facebook, your "google" folder for G+, etc.)

If it's #2, then it has already been requested (issue 273).

If it's #1, then my concern is not about privacy, but about staying focused on 
what Hover Zoom was made for in the first place: zooming images. I don't want 
it to become "the big bloated extension that does everything". It a great idea 
for another extension though, but I'm afraid I won't have enough spare time to 
create one. I've made a quick search and it seems like this type of extension 
already exists.

Hope you understand :)
