It cannot download images from links that do not go straight to the image (so a link ending with an image extension like .jpg) but i haven't found anything that can do that and it might be impossible.

But it's biggest flaw and the reason i am no longer using it is that it does not automatically put all your images in their own folder (for each set), if you have Ask where to save turned off then it just puts everything in the same general folder (this is no good) and if you have it turned on (like i like it to be) then it asks where to save for each file and that's just too much. Other extensions like Video DownloadHelper do a much better job at this where it automatically creates a folder for each image set based on the URL you are downloading from (but it's limited to 50 images)

I would like to suggest a slightly more simple solution for the download folder. Just remember the last selected download folder and default for the next picture download to this folder. Still give for each download the option to change the download folder but automatically fill in the previously selected download folder as the default folder.

In my humble opinion, this will be a big improvement. Currently if you want to save a few pictures from the same webpage to the same download folder, then you are forced to select the download folder for each picture.
