This script used to work for me but now it doesn't show the [ORIG] link on any of the photos.

@neojam: the script only works if multiple resolutions are available, which means that the original uploaded image can be retrieved directly through the [orig] link.

When only one resolution is available, the image's author has unchecked the option to make images available for download. In that case only the screen resolution image is available, which is not what this script was intended for.

One of the most useful scripts for Flickr!
Thanks Johannes!

However, there seem to be a problem if the image doesn't have multiple resolutions (where "all Sizes" option missing). Then your script isn't working.

Check for example this link.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/matt-d/

If there a way to fix it?
Like check if there is no "_o.jpg" image exists, then just remove "_s" or "_m" from original image url, like:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2328/2189742783_...
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2328/2189742783_...
And then create the link to original image?

My previous comment is incorrect: it actually works for me, but not in groups.

It's not just you. I can't have it working either... :(

Did this stop working or is it just me?

Is there a way to get the "Orig" to appear on images from Flickr that are in a Google Reader window?

Or is opening the original link (a blog for instance) the only way?

I installed several scripts looking for some easy way to get to the original images (if available), and this was by far the best one. The others have all been discarded. Thanks!

@The Sarge: It would be neat if it could work with flickrleech because i prefer it as a layout but it works with http://fiveprime.org/flickr_hvmnd.cgi

Does the same job.

Hi, great script!
Is there a way i can change the grey icon to another icon?

if you add http:/*flickr.com/groups/*/pool/ to the included pages it will work for pool thumbs as well. Quite useful.. was getting tired of back and forth.

@IchBins: you are right, this functionality has been reverted.
Because of the new Flickr policy as of March 1, 2007, this interface didn't make sense anymore. Some images would not be linked any more at all, which was worse than omitting the little icon in these cases. At least, that's my opinion...

In previous versions the whole image was re-linked to the original size and the little gray button the script generated linked to the image page with the comments and stuff. Or was that another GM script which I just cannot find anymore?

Thanks in advance

I have been using this script for a long time. However, with the latest Flickr changes, and despite the update to this script, the link to display the original of photos that don't let you show all sizes (i.e., those that are "Blog this" and "Add to Favorites" only) no longer appears. I absolutely love this script, but how do I make it show that link? Will the script be updated to show the originals of such photos? Thanks.

This is a really great script. I've been using it for a long time.

I've noticed that in your latest version you've swapped the "THMB" and "ORIG" links around. Would it be possible to release a version with it back the way it was? Or is there an easy way to edit it back?

Thanks.

the 'ORIG' link on a picture gets set below the regions that flickr users select to comment on. The 'original' link created by this script is no longer clickable is a user-selected region overlaps it. Perhaps the link could be set to always be on top of other links (I don't know how Javascript works, so I'm not sure if this is possible)

Great script for the majority of cases where this doesn't happen

Thanks for the script. This fixed one of those little annoyances I had with Flickr.
