Cruiser

The Internet is paved with porn. Now you can cruise the gutters of the information super highway at high speed, with one hand on the wheel.

This script modifies gallery web pages to show just pictures with links. Links to .jpg files are generated into an interactive index. Full keyboard and mouse/mouse wheel support are provided. Cruiser also supports automatic launching of linked sites from galleries and generation of scripts (shell or command line) that can download all the pictures from a page.

Includes context sensitive pop up help and many other features (window of text links, banned links list, redirection removal, customization of behavior, intelligent scrolling, duplicate removal, link type sorting, etc, etc) all designed to keep the screen simple and the navigation easy.

See web page for screen shots, instructions and change history.

Note: Now removes links on the banned site list even if page is not turned into a gallery. See change history for 21/3/08 for the reason.

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.

Some idiot marked your site as a dangerous site, more details...

Nice script :)

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)
