Done, at least in a simple way. Set the automatic_mode variable to false at the top and a little button will be shown that you can click on. Small button used so it is unobtrusive. Code at the bottom has a commented out text button too. I should mention that this solution causes the page to reload with Cruiser=Yes in the URL parameters

please supply us a button to start this script, so this won't start automatically (similarly to Server Index Image Viewer)

sometimes this script starts on pages that I really don't need it to work on (e.g. articles, reviews, blog posts etc.)

"pretty" PLEASE.

"Click here to generate a script to download all pictures"

Does it work on opera?, replied by AlexCeed

I tested it on some sites and it doesn't work.

@chasep2001
Thank you for the help, but it is not working, at least for me :S

You're talking about lines 64 - 65, right?

I saw what the bookmarklet does and it reminds me that maybe some code from this script could be helpful in building a button?

To begin with, the 'R' button wasn't working for me. I was able to fix that by using a bookmarklet instead, but then I came across simon!'s comment.

simon!

Like you, I would prefer to turn the script on when I wanted to use it, instead of turning it off when I didn't want to use it. You can achieve this by changing two lines of the script and adding a bookmarklet.

Change the script as follows:
find the line:
a= document.location.href.indexOf("Cruiser=No");
and change it to the following:
a= document.location.href.strToUpper().indexOf("CRUISER=YES");

Then change the next line from
if (a>-1) return;
to
if (a == -1) return;

Then you will want to create a bookmarlet with the following text:
javascript:if(document.location.href.indexOf("?")>-1){document.location.href=document.location.href+"&cruiser=yes";}else{document.location.href=document.location.href+"?cruiser=yes";}

----------

Poolboy:

It wouldn't require too much more work to add a button that would trigger the same javascript snippet, and would float at the top of any page that cruiser determines it would work on. (judging from the help screen, I don't think you should have any trouble with that part!!)

You could also go as far as to allow the user to choose whether to use auto-start mode or not. If they do want too, then the "R" key (and maybe add a mouse button that can be clicked as well) can be used to turn it off; If they don't want auto-start mode, then it would operate as mentioned above.

a) try to build one for index pages more info...
b) please give supply us a button to start this script, so this won't start automatically (similar to the script that I just mentioned)

p/s. nice enhancements :D

Ju-hu-das: Yeah. I haven't figured out a good naming convention since most sites just use names like 01.jpg and using the whole url to create the name makes the lines too long to copy.

Blu_sky: Assuming you are on Windows, you'll need to install a copy of the program called wget which is a port of the Unix command. Then you can just mark and copy the lines from the Cruiser screen and paste them into a command window (run > cmd or it is somewhere in the Accessories pulldown). I *think* I'm using the port from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ but it has been years since I installed it.

If you are on Linux, wget is already there.

I really really like your Script!

If there was only a way, that the picturenames are Random.

Because I really hate it,
that after a short period of time I have to rename every Picture... and for that I have to have both hands free.

Hi Poolboy,

Your website's rating is bad, because it's hosted under the fortunecity.com domain and not enough users have rated it. Therefore, your site inherits the rating of its parent domain, which apparently isn't all that good. (This is because lots of untrustworthy sites are hosted there as well, but that's another story.)

What comes to "letting anonymous fools pass for reliable sources", we actually require users to prove themselves before taking their ratings seriously. That's because they often seem to jump into conclusions without learning the facts. Sometimes they even publicly accuse others of being scum on some random forum... ;)

And yes, we are fully aware that there isn't a way to look up reasons behind ratings at the moment, but we're working on it. In the mean while, if you're concerned about a rating, you can always ask us about it.

- Sami

I can't imagine why someone would mark the site as unsafe but...

Oh well. Such is the value of letting anonymous fools pass for reliable sources. I won't install WOT because I would not trust it since its model appears top be based on evidence-free accusation and it does not seem to give any details other than a good/bad rating. I'd love to see why someone thought the site was unreliable, but that isn't part of WOT's game.

If anyone has evidence that Cruiser or the web site presents any privacy or security problems over and above those you might get from the sites you visit with Cruiser, please post the concerns and evidence here.

Accusations based on what someone else assumes might theoretically be possible is exactly the type of "scum" (their term!) that WOT should be trying to prevent. I'd say WOT is claiming to protect people like us from people like them :)

Once again, I insist, read the script and see for yourself. Look at the source code for the web site too. Its only 1 HTML page and a small JavaScript engine. It ain't rocket science.

la faucille's comment as translated to English by Google:

"There is someone who can confirm that this script is clean?
In general, regarding sex is never free!
So think install a minute this thing.

But hey, this is only my opinion"

-- good advice! You are encouraged to be careful, look at the source and post any comments here. Always use safe surfing practices (virus scanners, firewalls, and if possible, virtual machines, etc)
