Saving multiple images across tabs?

Hey all,

I've been using Firefox but now it's eating up too much processing power (even after a complete re-install). I'm new to Opera, I like it, and I've been searching on the forums to find an answer. In FF, I'd been using an extension that allowed me to save different file types across open tabs. For instance, if I had 10 tabs open, each with a different jpeg, I could ctrl+alt+W to save all image files in all tabs to a specified folder on my HD.

Is there a simular feature or keystroke command in Opera? I've searched the forums and looked in the different settings in Opera itself, and I apologize if I'm missing the obvious.

Thanks in advance!

Allen

Opera doesn't really have any commands that apply to multiple tabs like that, no. Saving all images from a single tab isn't too hard, but 10 tabs is 10 separate operations.

AllenA, I'm curious how this worked. I can't imagine when I'd want to save all image files from all open tabs - that would commonly include a bunch of ads and banners and assorted crap, though I suppose if you were using your browser as an image viewer it could be useful. Was there some way of marking images in multiple tabs ?

Open Windows Panel (Ctrl+Shift+0) > Select the image tabs > Press Ctrl+S (or Ctrl+Alt+S)

This will work if the image is the only content on the tab. Not if it is just part of web page content. I'm not sure what the OP needs exactly.

When you want to save images that get opened from one single page you can try to open the Panel and choose Links. Now you can select the url's for the images, with ctrl and left mouse, and use save to download folder (click the right mouse).

When the Links button is not in the panel to Tools --> Appearance --> Panel and tick Links.

Usually, I'd check out a photogallery from PBase or Flikr or somesutch. I'd open images in their own tab, then save all the jpegs. Banners are usually gifs, but yes, I'd get ads, banners, etc too. I'd navigate to the folder, arrange by file size, then delete anything under about 100kb.

Sounds kinda painstaking, but it really only took a couple of moments.

Cheers,

Allen

Thanks, but that seems to not quite work

That seems to want to save the HTML, and not give me the express ability to save by file extension.

Thanks anyway!

I think that this is a nice work-around that I could get used to.

Thanks everyone for your help. I appreciate it!
