[Photo Grabbr]
I keep track of a lot of Flickr accounts and every so often, I come across a photoset that's just so brilliant, I want to keep a local copy for myself. Unfortunately, it's rather cumbersome to open each photo individually, save the size that I want, and then rename the file to match the title of the photo. Even more unfortunate is that as far as I could tell, there wasn't anything for Mac OSX that would help simplify this job. So the only thing left to do was to write Photo Grabbr so that I could use it for myself.
.:Requirements:.
Mac OS X 10.4 or better.
Internet connection.
Flickr account (optional).
Growl (optional).
.:Download:.
PhotoGrabbr.zip
.:History:.
[29 June 2008 - v1.21]
User favorites are now downloaded to their own folder.
Fixed a bug that prevented more than 500 photos in a set from being downloaded.
Added an option to skip photos that have already been downloaded.
[04 June 2008 - v1.2]
Fixed the bug where groups with spaces in the name could not be found.
Extra spaces before and after the search term are removed before attempting the search.
Favorites of a Flickr user can now be downloaded (check under the Flickr menu).
[21 May 2008 - v1.11]
Fixed a bug where if the user was downloading all photos from an account through the date filters and more than 100 photos were downloaded, then the rest of the photos in the account would be downloaded.
Text filter for downloading all photos should work now.
Other miscellaneous minor bug fixes and improvements.
[12 May 2008 - v1.1]
Can now download from groups.
Added a button to display the photo page for the person or group searched for.
Multiple sets can be selected and toggled for downloading at the same time.
Each of the different search types now maintain their own list of previous searches.
The history of previous searches can be cleared out.
If the attempt to download the preferred size of a photo fails, Photo Grabbr will attempt to download the next smallest size (so feel free to set the preferred download size to "Original" because if you can't get the original size, it will attempt to download the large size instead).
Option-clicking the "Download All Photos" button will bring up a set of filters that can be used to narrow down which photos to download.
Bug fixes!
