Downloading Linked Web Images

I do a lot of photo-manipulations, and one thing I need are lots of different images to play around with. A couple of the women in my manipulations group are very good at searching out images and post new galleries of images each week. Downloading these images is a long, repetitive process (not as long as trying to search for them myself, but still hours each week if I want to snag them all).
Automator is supposed to help deal with repetitive processes, and indeed there is a sample workflow called "Downloading Linked Web Images" on the front Automator page. It goes like this:
1> Get current webpage from Safari
2> Get image URLs from webpage (set to Get URLs linked from these webpages)
3> Download URLs (where: Pictures is set in example, I set it to where: Incoming Downloads, the folder I download everything to and which is set up as a safe zone in Norton Anti-Virus)
The workflow goes on with the following step to add the photos to iPhoto, but I stopped it here because I don't want the photos in iPhoto.
4> Import photos into iPhoto (add to: either choose album with a pull-down menu or new album with a input box for the name, checkbox for "delete the source images after importing them")
This workflow doesn't work, and I don't know why.
On one of her galleries it said it sucessfully completed, but all it did was download an html file that when clicked on gave me a linking instructions page, which linked to the small version of the first photo in the gallery. (I replaced her actual name with "username" in the address to protect her privacy.)
href=http://username.multiply.com/photos/photo/15/1>353474_3995.jpg
On her other galleries, the workflow stopped at step 2 with this message:
AppleScript Error:
The command exited with a non-zero status. (255)
I have no idea what that error is.
The steps I currently go through to download photos from her galleries are (again I've substituted "username" for her real name in all the addresses):
1) Open gallery address in Safari. They take this form:
http://username.multiply.com/photos/album/15
2) Double click on one of the thumbnails, which opens a page with a small version of that single photo. The addresses take this form:
http://username.multiply.com/photos/photo/15/1
3) Double click on the small version of the photo to open the large version. The large version addresses look like this:
http://username.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/15/1?xurl=%2Fphotos%2Fphoto%2F15%2F1
4) Command-click on large photo and choose "Save image to Incoming Downloads."
5) Either hit the "back" link on the large picture page or the back button on Safari to get back to the small picture page.
6) Either hit the back button on Safari to go back to the gallery page, or hit the "next" link on the small picture page to go to the small picture page for the next photo in the gallery.
7) Either: a) from gallery page, repeat from step 2, or b) from small version page of next photo in gallery, repeat from step 3.
Continue to repeat until I've downloaded all the pictures I like, or I'm totally exhausted, or I have no more time. This one person's galleries have between 60 and 300 photos each, and she updates three to five galleries each week.
My group also has other people who put up galleries of images less often, but usually with more images. Last weekend one woman put up a gallery with 4387 pictures!
Downloading pictures one at a time takes forever, and the process should be able to be automated. If someone posts galleries that aren't entirely new images every week, it would still be much faster to download everything and trash the pictures I didn't want.
Does anyone know why this workflow won't work? It's one of the two sample workflows Apple has posted to demonstrate how Automator works, so I'm very surprised to find it doesn't work. BTW, I did download and install the latest version of Automator & X-code tools before trying the sample workflows.
Can someone help?
Thanks,

Not sure I can help you with Automator but here's two options:
Hazel (http://www.noodlesoft.com/hazel.php) will watch a folder for you and import the pics to a specified album
Or
Right click on the iPhoto Package File in Pictures and go 'Show Package Contents' In the resulting window you'll see a folder called 'Auto Import'. Make an alias to the folder and drag it to the desktop. Pics dropped onto that folder will be imported the next time iPhoto launches.

Download link for images

What is the solution to create a download link that will
automatically start to download to the hard disk or ask where to be
saved (ie. Desktop, Downloads)? What I don't want to happen is to
have the image open in a new browser window. I have .eps, .tif and
.jpg files. Is this hard to do? I can't find any help anywhere on
the net for this problem.

Well, usually the preferred way is to just link to the image
or another
file and let the browser/user decide what do with it.
If you still want to "force" a download, the easiest way for
you as the
author is to simply zip the file(s). In most cases this will
cause a
download dialog, but also creates another hurdle for the
user, because
he has to unpack the file before he can use it.
Another way - a bit more complicated for you, but much easier
for the
users - would be to deliver the files with another content
type like
"application/octet-stream". This should also cause a download
dialog.
How to do that depends on the capabilities of your server. It
can be
done with scripting or even with just a simple AddType
directive in an
.htaccess file on Apache servers.

Downloading a web image

Hi,
Not too long ago, I asked how to download an image from the
web. The
code I was given works great to download the file. And I've
got a
message for the usur to tell if the file was downloaded. I'm
using
netDone and netError.
Problem is when the user clicks the download button, it's
still has the
netDone info from before. How can i tell Director to forget
teh alst
netDone and start from scratch?
I' using
netID = downLoadNetThing("
http://www.site.com/image.jpg,
the moviePath
& "image.jpg")
the later use
if ( netDone(netID) = true ) then
if (netError(netID) = "OK" ) then
member("message").text = "File downloaded OK."
else
member("weather-download message").text = "File could not be
downloaded. Try again later."
end if
Thanks.

Are you generating a new netID each time you download? If so
you shouldn't
have any problem. You don't specify if this code is in a
frame loop or is
only called once or ...
Any net retrieval operation needs to be in a loop, not a
repeat loop but a
frame loop, this way the status can be monitored as the code
cycles. Many
call a net operation once and check for net done in the next
line of code
and wonder why nothing ever works. I don't think that's the
case for you.
I have found that it's neater and cleaner to use a case
statement inside an
exitFrame handler to represent each state of the net
operation with
properties for each piece of information that needs to
persist through each
frame cycle.
Is netID a global variable in your case? Lngo will generate a
new netID
everytime you call downLoadNetThing but if you've declared it
a global in
one place and then call downloadnetthing where netID is
local, the next time
youa access netID from a different handler where it's
declared as a global
again, you'll still have the original netID (if you followed
that, you
probably didn't need me in the first place). Anyway, provide
some more
details, I'm sure it's an easy fix.

Showing image instead of download link

I am using an interactive report and entered this for the source. I want to show the picture instead of a download link however I don't get the picture I get a
Source:
select "IMAGE_ID",
"SUBJECT",
"CREATED_DATE",
"CREATED_BY",
decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(image),0), 0, null, '<img src=
"'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P53_IMAGE', image_id)||
'" height="75" width="75" />') Image
from "#OWNER#"."IMAGES"
Shown in the report:
<img src= "apex_util.get_blob_file?a=100&s=3229276571420106&p=53&d=1943731550155986&i=1941402717155956&p_pk1=1&p_pk2=&p_ck=58C90FE7F1EC9618676F23C2FC24FA0A" height="75" width="75" />
Any idea as to what I may be doing wrong?

Hi ,
It looks like your report column is set to display as Text. Go to "Home>Application Builder>Application #>Page #>Interactive Report Attributes" and change it to Standard report Column and you should be all set.
Thanks,

Windows Vista, 7 and 8 ISO / Image file Download Links

Series: How to Re-Install Windows when you don't have the Recovery Discs
Intro: What is an ISO? Why is it used?
Step 1 - Get the ISO - ISO Download Links
Step 2 - Burn the ISO to a DVD or USB
Step 3 - What to do with the ISO DVD/USB? Change the Boot Order
Step 4 - What to do After Windows is Installed? How to Get HP Drivers?
Step 1 - Get the ISO - ISO Download Links
First, look at the Product Key label on the bottom of the computer and make sure you can still read it, before proceeding.
How is this legal? As long as you have the Product Key (from the bottom of a computer you paid for) for the corresponding version of Windows you download, it is perfectly legitimate and legal.
The ISO Links:
Windows Vista SP1 32 & 64-bit
*****With that link, you will have to combine the three files into an Image file (aka ISO) first (How to create an image file from files/folders) , using a program like ImgBurn.*****
Windows 7 32 & 64-bit
Windows 8 32 & 64-bit
See Step 2 - Burn the ISO to a DVD or USB
If you have any questions, create a new post (How to Create a New Post - Video), copy and paste it's link into a private message to me, and I will respond on your thread

You shouldn't need to edit any of the files. The Windows 7 ISO is a retail, untouched version. It doesn't have a Product Key embedded into it.
You should be able to use a Windows 7 Product Key from the label on the bottom of the computer with no issues. The installation will ask you for a Windows 7 Product Key. The only exception would be if the Product Key were in use on a different computer. From my understanding, as long as it is not already in use, it should activate.
Please let me know if you have any questions on that

Display image for BLOB Download link in Interactive Report

I have a table containing BLOB data and am displaying the table in an interactive report. I would like to replace the "Download" text link with an icon that represents the MIME type of the BLOB, but can't seem to find a way to make the substitution. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.
-Jeff

Hey Ben,
Thanks for the suggestion. I understand what you are saying, the problem is that when you have an interactive report that includes a BLOB and you use the built-in method for displaying a download link, it only gives you the option of using a text link. The method is outlined in the online help under:
Home > Advanced Programming Techniques> About BLOB Support in Forms and Reports > About BLOB Support in Reports
This is done by using the following syntax in the Number/Date Format of the column attribute of the BLOB:
DOWNLOAD:CC_DOCUMENTS:CONTENTS:ID::MIME_TYPE:FILENAME:UPDATED_ON::attachment:View
Where the last parameter is the link text. The only problem is that there is no option for substituting an image rather than the link text. That's what I'm trying to work around. Sorry if you new all of this already, but I wanted to explain what I've already done. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Website image and zip file download links not working in Dreamweaver Air application

Hi
I have successfully created and AIR app for an existing business website using the Dreamweaver AIR Extension. The site works very well in all respects except for the part where we have high resolution images and zip files available for download. The download links refuse to do anything, and right-click (PC) / ctl-click (Mac) does nto work either.
I suspect this may be an AIR sandbox/security issue but am I correct and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to give.
Martin

I am now facing the same problem. I wrote a servlet .
code like this
         response = (HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
         response.setContentType("application/x-download");
         String agent = request.getHeader("USER-AGENT");
         boolean isIE=false;
        if (null != agent && agent.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1) {
            isIE=true;
        if (isIE) {
            fileName = URLEncoder.encode(fileName, "UTF-8");
        } else {
            fileName = new String(fileName.getBytes("utf-8"), "ISO-8859-1");
        response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename="+fileName);
        ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
        byte b[]=new byte[1024];
        int n;
        while((n=in.read(b))!=-1){
            os.write(b,0,n);
       in.close();
       os.close();
and i open a new window refer to above jsp ,also i set a breakPoint at os.close(),the program has passed through,but nothing happened in the window.
If i use IE or FF ,the browser will open a small window to allow me select whether open or save the file.So can anybody give me some advice.Is it because air using webkit engine and the engine does not do this kind of job?
        Thanks.

Where is the CS5.5 to CS6 Web Design Premium upgrade download link?!

I purchased the CS5.5 Web Design Premium equivalent to avail of the free upgrade to CS6 when it came out.
After too much fluffing around with Adobe's customer services (weeks upon weeks), I eventually received the upgrade disk through the post (I'm based in the UK).
The problem I now have is that this disk has become scratched and I can't wait to receive another disk.
After speaking with someone through the online chat, I was told that only those who purchased an online copy could download it. As I purchased directly through Adobe over the phone, I was not entitled to an auto-generated download link.
The upgrade also doesn't appear in my Product pages.
So, can someone please help to find out where I can download a copy of the upgrade, rather than wait for it to come through in the post?

As long as you have the serial numbers for the upgrade version and the base version(CS6 and CS5.5 respectively in your case) the programs will install fine. Download the trial version from www.adobe.com/downloads/ and install the software. During installation you may be asked for the CS5.5 serial number(after you enter your CS6 serial number). The installer file or setup.exe file is the same on the disks and on Adobe.com.
Thanks

I downloaded the web developer tool bar and after using it my images are gone. I use google and a home page and the big google is gone. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it but I still don't have any images. How can I get them back?

Two days ago I downloaded the web developer tool bar (aus2.mozilla.com). I tried to use it but gave up. I deleted the tool bar.
I don't have any images anymore. I use Google.com as my home page (default) and the large GOOGLE isn't there anymore. I've also noticed some of the sites I use don't have the continue or next or enter keys anymore. It seems the only thing I have now is the text.

Are you sure you are looking at the Google page?? In Firefox 4.0 the default homepage / Start Page in Firefox was changed to '''about:home''' which looks a lot like the former www.google.com/firefox homepage.

Does anyone have a good link for images I can access for my web development work. I have Adobe Creative SUite 5.5

Does anyone have a good link for images I can access for my web development work. I have Adobe Creative Suite 5.5

In short, NO.
I was hoping that the 7.4.1 update would allow it to work, but it has caused more problems than it is worth.If you do actually get it to work you will see the TC in finder (under Shared) when connected to the internet outside of your home network. What I have found though is that the 7.4.1 firmware update has made using the internet at home almost impossible.
I have tried Hamachi but it is not reliable.
I have settled with Dropbox so my files are synced between my home machine and laptop.

Need download link to Web Premium CS4. I have the product key.

I am looking for a download link to Web Premium CS4. I have the product key, not the discs. I spoke with Adobe support and they cannot provide a download link to CS4 and suggested that I post here - that there were people on the forum who would help someone who had the product key for Web Premium CS4 but not the discs. Can someone provide me with a link?

I tried the link and received this error:
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
I have an adobe account and am logged into it as well.
Thanks for responding....

Need download link for CS3 Web Premium Mac

Hi there. My MacBook was stolen. I replaced it, and I need to re-download CS3 Web Premium. Adobe provides this link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html
However, the CS3 Web Premium link for Mac here goes to an error message page.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/dlm/
Adobe customer support could not help me.
Does anyone here know where I can find a link to this software?
Thank you so much!

Try using a different browser. If I use the link you indicate it opens a download dialogue.
An alternate site for downloading Adobe software is ProDesignTools (The downloads are still thru the Adobe server).
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

You won't see anything obviously related to iCloud, Jimmy. But if you go to the home iTunes Store page while logged into your iTunes Store account, you should see a Purchases link now under the Quick Links header. That's the only part of iCloud active at this time.
