nO! This will not be publicly available for download when it is done, my appologies. I program in PHP, not standalone executable C/C+ etc coding, thus to use this you’d need your own PHP5.3+ with curl enabled server installed on your windows machine.. It will however *possibly* be available for public use, via requests.
Why? Some times, if you’re creating a game or a series of desktops, and need a load of vectors without wanting to waste the time downloading each one, this took gets the job done in seconds. There are already existing DevRippers out there, but none of them did what I’m attempting to make mine do..
SOME Features:
- Download Entire Gallery. (front page, folders, folders in folders, etc).
- Never Download Duplicates. (by image ID)
- Download only NEW additions to Gallery on every re-load. (stay updated)
- Compatible with every deviantART Profile setups. (spiders through all folders, groups and pages in each)
- Features a Folder and Keyword blacklist.
- Caches progress, will resume downloads where it left off, if prematurely closed.
- Downloads all photos with original filename, organized in folders as they are on the deviantART gallery.
- Open-Source. (if released, provided that you give a copy of all changes to SeiRruf to examine and potentially include in code updates)
- Safe to use. Variables allow for customization of download speed, auto-close, etc.
- Downloads any uploaded downloadable content. (zip/jpg/png/svg/gif etc)
- Runs in Command Prompt. Not your browser. (at least for now)
I am considering allowing public use of this when it is done, per request. (details will apply when the time comes, if I decide to complete the script)
Want to help? Well, the only thing I really need right now, is someone to find out how to convert PHP into a self-executable file. (possible executable with built in PHP and extensions, that runs a given index.php file when opened. Should also be able to pass variables to this file on open. Would NOT use any browser, but instead either a GUI clean interface (based on echo’s, of PHP) or cmd-like interface). If all is possible.
Want to help code? I’ll consider the help, if you are PHP Savy!
(yes, this was inspired by the several My Little Pony vector galleries I’ve came across. I am crazy, I know. :)
