Would you consider adding support for the manual Add Download window from DTA? The one you usually access by going to the manager and hitting +:

Documentation for batch functionality here: http://www.downthemall.net/howto/help/english-menu/batch-downloadsbatch-descriptors/ Documentation for mask functionality here: http://www.downthemall.net/howto/help/english-menu/renaming-mask/

This window is really useful for when you have an image album that's spread across multiple pages so can't be detected with the usual scraping wizardry but you can easily work out the pattern yourself. The rename mask is pretty useful for when you want to grab a batch of files but they would end up being called 01.jpg, 02.jpg, ..., 99.jpg so you can set the mask to album-name_*name*.*ext* and get album-name_01.jpg, album-name_02.jpg, ..., album-name_99.jpg - totally avoiding name conflicts and making it easier to sort/process later.

I think I can make this happen, but its a relatively big feature so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get it done.
