Review for Save Images by algotechie
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
The add-on says "Save Images saves the images from the current tab page, from the cache, to a specified location, with either the images original file name or a file name that you specify". Both these statements are false. No matter how much you customize its settings, neither it makes use of the already cached images (it downloads them again when saving) nor can it save the images with original file name (yes, I changed that setting but it still doesn't keep the original name). The renaming problem is not a big one for me, but owing to a slow connection, I'd have preferred it to just copy the image (loaded already on the web page) from cache/RAM to the desired location when asked to save. That's what it promises to do anyway. But whenever I save an image, it starts downloading it again, and doesn't make use of the cached image. I kind of hate applications that tell me lies.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.6.3).I have never had a problem saving from the cache. Possibly you do not have the cache set up correctly in Firefox. Please send a list of your options for Save Images and a more detailed description of your problems with the naming of files to plashcor@gmail.com.
