Review by R.I.P. IE
Rated 2 out of 5
by R.I.P. IE, 7 years agoKinda surprised by the high rating tbh..
Decent effort (and clearly the dev has been looking at the original "Image Picker" addon),
but it just doesn't come even close to its functionality or user friendly interface.
- BIG ONE!: does not save from multiple tabs unfortunately (it doesn't advertise it but it's a HUGE downside)!
- by default saves the images in a folder on your drive (without telling you where)
- interface is not in a floating window but a new tab, so you have to constantly scroll back
to your other tabs you were working from
- virtually no settings in the interface, including none for choosing where to save
- no image (pixel) sizes are shown,
so with multiple versions of the same image (like on Amazon and other webshops that have thumbnails
and often 1 or 2 different higher res versions of the same image) you don't see which is what size
- by default creates a folder for every time you use it (instead of giving you an option to control
yourself where to save).
- breaks other default browser functionality, like simply dragging and dropping an image from a webpage
into a folder in Windows Explorer.
There's more, but these are either very useful or - IMO - absolutely necessary options/functionality
that's missing.
