If you click on "show options" on Google Images and pick something like Large size images, the direct links go away. Please fix this problem because most of the other direct link scripts are broke now. Using the 2009-07-27 version. |

Strange, I tried it multiple times when I posted this and it went away every time, but now it doesn't. Maybe a bug? |

I have noticed this too, and I know why it breaks. When using option Google uses Ajax to fetch the image data in the background and doesn't reload the page and therefor never makes a new call for the script. I've been looking for a place to hook into their code to make the scrip run again, but as always when trying to interpret Googles scripts it's all a big mess to sort through. I have not given up yet but it is hard to find a clean place to hook at. Will upload a new version when I find a good way to fix this. In the mean time you can check all your option and then move to the next page of images and Google will revert to the normal way of fetching images and everything works fine again. |

Done, issue resolved. It should all be working now, please let me know if anything else isn't working properly. |

Hey Dwoo, great script, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm having this problem as well. The script with a regular Google Image search works great, but when I click "Show Options" it stops working. I have to click "Show Options" and refresh the page in order to get the script going. And after that if I click "Hide Options", the options bar goes away, but the script doesn't work again (and I have to refresh again). |

Just to conclude this topic: I believe this issue was resolved at that time and since there has been no other reports of this problem nothing says otherwise. |
