Colin Laws (ID: 000000ad7af95217) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/09/2023 This works perfectly, and offers a reasonable amount of settings instead of a billion for every shred of minutiae. I'd like to see a setting to include the thread subject in the folder name, maybe after the thread ID?

Blitz (ID: 0000003d7940fe2f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/10/2023 Works well. Thanks !

digidragon1 (ID: 000000afeb40472e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/04/2023 Really needs to be able to download as ZIP or select a folder for each thread. 200 individual files being downloaded one at a time is hell for my computer. I'm not sure why the option has been disabled.

icon

SAB5106 (ID: 0000004c7b4abaa8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/20/2023 Unable to select the "download as zip" option in the settings menu, other than that it does what it says it does

Mickey Mishra (ID: 0000009b6b224cba) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/28/2023 Worked like a charm. You have to keep pressing return to download all the images in the folder it auto creates for you. The only thing that would take this to the top is if it would catch the thread name and name the folder it creates with the name of the thread or topic if that makes sense. Worked PERFECT in Chromebook / ChromeOS 2023 on an older Asus 302 with zero issues. There are so many great threads with high res photo's and some Old nostaliga stuff that has 100's oh photos that you will never find anywhere. This Extension makes it wonderful! Thank you so much to the Developer! Outstanding!
