- Save downloaded files
in: A directory on your local hard disk
in which downloaded galleries are saved. The default value is "My Pictures"
or "My Documents" depending on your Windows version. To change the
directory enter another path or click the browse button
and select another
directory.
- Select gallery before downloading: By default
the toolbar creates a new gallery named after the start page URL each time a
download is started. To manually enter a gallery name, or to download to an
existing gallery, check "Select gallery before downloading".
- Only links to same
server as current page: This parameter makes
it possible to limit a download to a single web server. For example, if the
start page is
http://www.diodia.com/pictures.htm and "Only links on same server as start
page" is enabled then the download function ignores all links that don't start with http://www.diodia.com/. Note
that www.diodia.com and mail.diodia.com are considered different web servers. "Only links on same server as start page" is
enabled by
default.
- Show list of files on start page: Displays a list of files on the
start page matching the download parameters before starting a download.
This is useful when you only want to download a subset of the files linked to
from the start page.
- Maintain directory structure: Mirrors the directory structure from
the web server to the gallery directory. This is useful if many files with
identical names are downloaded. If the directory structure isn't maintained
then files with identical names are renamed to Picture(1).jpg, Picture(2).jpg,
and so on.
- If Open Download Manager before downloading is
checked then the Download Manager is opened
automatically before the download starts. The Download Manager lets you
monitor the progress of the download.
- If Reset statistics is checked then the information in the statistics tab in the
Download Manager is reset before the download starts.
- Open gallery folder before downloading: If checked
then a Windows folder showing the content of the gallery
directory is opened before the download starts.
- Search depth:
This
parameter makes it possible to include pictures that the start page doesn't
link directly to in a gallery. Roughly speaking, the link distance between
two web pages is the number of links you have to click to get from a the first
web page to the second web page. If the thumbnails in a thumbnail
gallery link other web pages containing the pictures instead of directly to
the pictures then the link distance from the start page to the pictures is 2.
The default value for this parameter is 2, which works for most thumbnail
galleries.
