I wanted to download a set of photos a friend had posted on facebook.
Manually right-clicking and saving-as looked like being painfully
tedious so I googled for tools to automate the task. And whaddya know, I
find that digikam can do this right out of the box!
I know I've mostly posted about what digikam can't (yet) do (or what I'm
having difficulty with) but I want to express my appreciation for all
the things it can do! This really is a great piece of software!
With regard to the download from facebook feature may I offer an
enhancement request? Facebook seems to identify images with 15-digit
numbers, monotonically increasing for photos in a given set. However
digikam prepends various 6-digit numbers (and an underscore) to
facebook's 15-digit strings, throwing out facebook's ordering. Could
this be changed to preserve facebook's ordering of photos?
(One can, without too much difficulty, remove digikam's prefix e.g.
using the ren-regexp script like: ren-regexp '/\d*_//' in the album
directory.)
