Saving Images in IE
Destination Folders and File Naming

Saving Other Types of Files

Picture Ace can download any types of files (e.g. zip archives, executables, PDF documents). In this tutorial you will learn how to configure Picture Ace to collect all ZIP files from a web page.

First, you should define a new set of predefined properties. Although you can create a new task without defining a set of predefined properties, but if downloading ZIP files is a fairly frequent procedure for you, it is more convenient to have a predefined properties set.

Select Cars as the current destination folder, then open Picture Ace and select Options -> Predefined Task Properties from the main menu. The Predefined Task Properties dialog opens.

Click the Add button to create a new set of predefined properties. Enter Save all ZIPs as the set name.

Click OK. The Task Properties dialog appears. Switch to the File Type tab and select ZIP Archives in the Select file type(s) to download field.

Click OK. The new set of predefined properties is added to the Predefined properties list. Click OK to apply the changes and close the Predefined Task Properties dialog.

That's it. Now we are ready to pick ZIP files from web pages. This web page contains ZIP-archived pictures of cars. If your web browser is Internet Explorer use the IE button menu to start ZIP-files downloading task.

Another way to start the task is through the IE context menu. Right-click on a blank spot of the web page and select New Task. In the Task Properties dialog select Save all ZIPs in the drop-list box below. Click OK to start the task.

Below there are ZIP-files that Picture Ace will find and download automatically:

BMW pictures ZIP archive 1
BMW pictures ZIP archive 2
BMW pictures ZIP archive 3

In a the same way you can configure the program to download any other file type, just set the correct extension when creating a set of predefined properties.

Saving Image Sequences

Sometimes you know beforehand that a web sites stores images as number sequences. For instance:
http://help.pictureace.com/sample/img001.jpg
http://help.pictureace.com/sample/img002.jpg
http://help.pictureace.com/sample/img003.jpg
etc.

You don't know the web page that refers to these images or there are too many pages to browse them and save the images one by one. That's where Picture Ace comes in handy again.

Suppose we know that there are 10 images at http://help.pictureace.com/sample/ called img.jpg. Let's save them. Select Scenery as the current destination folder and use the IE button menu or the IE context menu to create a new task.

Note that although you could use the tray icon menu or the main program menu to create a new task, it is highly recommended to create new tasks from within the web browser, since that allows Picture Ace to get additional information from the web browser (e.g. cookies) and avoid sign-in issues.

When the Task Properties dialog appears, switch to the Sequences tab.

Enter http://help.pictureace.com/sample/img@.jpg in the Address field. Picture Ace will later replace the @ character (commercial at) with numbers.

Set the range from 1 to 10 and the number of digits to 3.

The Generate button allows you to test the options you just set and see if the program generates correct file names.

Click OK, Picture Ace starts downloading the images. You will see a notification window when the downloading process is finished. Open the current destination folder to view the images.

Saving Images and Movies from TGP Sites

Picture Ace includes special features to make picking pictures from TGP sites easier. TGP (Thumbnail Gallery Post) is a web site that provides links to image galleries (mostly adult content).

The most common problem with TGP sites is that they provide too many links and do not sort them by their content. Picking the links you really need can become a very tedious task. That's where Picture Ace helps you: it allows you to discard links you are not interested in.

Note that if you want to save video as well you should change the image type as shown below.

Suppose this is a TGP site. Below there are links to various car picture galleries:

May 11: Ferrari
May 11: Audi
May 11: BMW

May 10: Toyota
May 10: BMW
May 10: Honda
May 10: BMW

First, set Cars as the current destination folder. Then select the Process Links command from the IE button menu or the IE context menu.

The Links Processing dialog appears. The dialog displays all links found on the web page.

The fields at the bottom are for filtering links. Enter BMW in the first field.

Click the Apply to All button. The list now displays only the links that contain BMW in their text.

Picture Ace allows you to apply more than one filter. Let's leave only links of May 10. Enter 10 and click the Apply to Visible button.

After the filter is applied, the list displays only links of May 10.

Now we left only the links we need, we can create tasks to save large pictures behind the links. Click the Create Tasks! button. Picture Ace starts downloading pictures. Note that by default all pictures are downloaded to the current destination folder. You may want to change this to group the pictures by their origin. Use the Destination Folder dialog to do that (e.g. enable the option to create a subfolder for each web site + web page).

To reset the filter clear all the fields and click Apply to All.

You can also save images and video from TGP sites without opening the Links Processing dialog. Alt + click the link to an image gallery or right-click it and select the Save Large Images command from the IE context menu. Picture Ace downloads images from the gallery.
