OKay ... so most of you have probably figured this out already ...

... but y'know those wonderful picspams that people spend hours putting together and then you have to spend hours right clicking and saving each image? I just found a quicker way of downloading all the images using Word

...

Could you not just save the webpage in your browser, which would also save all of your images for you?

[beren_writes]

Didn't actually think of that - LOL, but if I do that then wouldn't it save all sorts of other things as well ... like icons and stuff ... I only wanted the piccies :) Let me guess I'm also missing something there aren't I?

I only discovered it because I wanted to get some embedded piccies out of a Word document and went hmmm.

?format=light ;)

I must admit that I find it a heck of a lot easier to simply save the webpage and then pull the piccies I want from there than faffing about in Word, but horses for courses.

[beren_writes]

I shall have to try it and see what happens, as I mentioned I've been a bit dense and haven't thought of it ;)

[beren_writes]

Unlikely, but as al said above ... you can just use the
?format=light
ending to the URL and save the webpage ::g::.

[beren_writes]

You don't have to add the code to the end of the URL if you don't want to, but that will remove fancy coding from it if you don't want to deal with extra formatting. You can save the web page either way.

huh, I didn't know about that. Which is dumb of me since I didn't know that you could cope images when you copied from a page. *headdesk* sometimes the simple things allude me.

Thanks for the info.

Another option suggested by Al is using ?format=light and then just saving the webpage ... which I haven't tried, but sounds eminently sensible too :D

I sometimes like to save the text too, so Word works for me :)

I just save the webpage with Firefox. It got a folder that save all the pic and icon and stuff in their actual size, so even the pic was resized in the page, I can still get a bigger size as long as it was linked.

[beren_writes]

Thank you, that's very useful for all the images, not so useful for only a selection. I have tried both now and it is much quicker to just save, but means a lot more sorting ::g:: - I think I shall have to use both techniques when needs must.

That is absurdly useful information! I never knew that, thanks!
