Gallery Grabber QED FAQ
Why won't Gallery Grabber QED download a particular gallery?
Gallery Grabber QED was designed to download 90% or more of galleries with little or no user intervention. It understands Gallery Pages, Thumbnail Picture Galleries and Thumbnail Page Galleries.
If most of your downloads are from galleries other than these, you might want to consider using a spider or a webbot. Although these may not be as easy or straight forward to use, they should give you the extra features you require to get at these more stubborn galleries.
As of version 0.22 Gallery Grabber QED does not support frame pages or password protected sites, but these are on the to do list for future enhancements.
What are Gallery Pages?
As understood by Gallery Grabber QED, a Gallery Page is a single webpage with large gallery images embedded within it. Here's an example:
What are Thumbnail Picture Galleries?
As understood by Gallery Grabber QED, a Thumbnail Picture Gallery is a webpage of thumbnail images which link directly to large gallery images. Here's an example:
What are Thumbnail Page Galleries?
As understood by Gallery Grabber QED, a Thumbnail Page Gallery is a webpage of thumbnail images which link to other webpages with embedded gallery images. The initial webpage and the linked pages are all on the same Website. Here's an example:
Will Gallery Grabber QED work with image search engine results?
Currently no. Most image search engine's results appear on a thumbnail page gallery where the linked pages are frames and the image is embedded within a page on another Website linked to by the frame page. Adding a download method to deal with this type of page is likely to severely slow down Gallery Grabber QED.
If you mainly download images from search engine results, you may want to consider trying an application which has been specifically designed for this task, such as Pandora by Positive Spin Media.
Why does Gallery Grabber QED ignore my website's robots.txt file?
All of Gallery Grabber QED's requests come from explicit action by its users. Since all requests come from humans, Gallery Grabber QED is not a Web robot or a spider and is therefore designed to ignore your robots.txt file.
