Access All Downloaded Files From A Separate Tab In Firefox 20

by on
1
I’m a long time Chrome user but Firefox 20 has almost won me over with its new Downloads button and Private Tab - a little add-on that allows me to open private browsing tabs within a normal browser window in Firefox. Not only does Firefox 20 make me realize how much more useful many Firefox add-ons are compared to Chrome extensions, it also solves a problem I've had for quite a while. My Downloads folder is always cluttered because it takes two clicks to open a downloaded file in Chrome in the Downloads folder, and I have little motivation to move that file somewhere I can find it again, or delete it if it isn't going to be used later. The new Download button in Firefox 20 tackles this problem excellently. I can access downloads and drag & drop them to any folder from a little button and its popup at the top. Not everyone is happy with the new Downloads button in Firefox 20 because it moves the location where you can access all downloads from. Downloads Tab is an add-on that consolidates both the old and new downloads view into something that more people would be happy with, and returns the downloads to a tab in a Firefox window.

Lost Photos: Search For & Download All Images From Your Email Accounts

There was a time when your email inbox was capable of holding only text and a couple of emails. Hotmail and Yahoo only provided you with 10 MB or 20 MB of online storage, but when Google launched its email service, it introduced the concept of massive inboxes, where you could store thousands of emails with images, audios and even video clips attached. Nowadays, your email inbox allows you to store well over 10 GB of data (Gmail), and emails can have any type of file attachments, including images, audio files, video files, presentation files etc. On one hand, having such a huge space in your inbox for receiving and storing emails is a good, as it is almost impossible to get all that space filled up and miss any important emails, but having too many emails stored also raises an issue. When you want to retrieve a specific email, it is very hard for you to search for it. Looking through such a huge pile takes a lot of time and effort. If it is an image you are looking for that someone sent you as an email attachment, today we have an application that can help you in the task. Lost Photos is an application available for Windows, as well as Mac, which lets you look for and download images stored in your email inbox, and share them directly to your Facebook and Twitter Account or email them as an attachment.

Did you ever experience a moment when you wanted to download all images on a web-page instantly? While looking for unique quality images, we often explore different image hosts and libraries, such deviantART, Picasa, PhotoBucket etc. However, executing searches on all these sites and downloading images separately can be quite inconvenient. We have already covered a desktop application called Image Collector for image collection enthusiasts who may be interested in getting hold of exotic images from online galleries such as Picasa, deviantART, imgur, PhotoBucket and 4Chan.

Tiggit Is An Open-Source Indie Game Downloader & Launcher For Windows

E-sports has been gaining quite a lot of popularity in recent times. There was a time when video games were considered to be something only for kids, but nowadays, games like Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, StarCraft and Valve’s Dota 2 have become the part of a fervently followed virtual sport. While some people, the professional players, play games in order to earn money, most of us only play to relax and enjoy. Almost all of the mainstream games require you to have high-end PC’s and gaming consoles to be able to run them. However, if you don’t have a high-end gaming device, you can still enjoy open source and free indie games. The main problem in finding good indie games is that they are released on different blogs and there’s no central location where you can download them. Last year, we covered an application for Windows called Game Downloader (a portable utility to download and play free games). Today, we have another similar application called Tiggit, which is an open-source program that allows you to install and launch free games. More on the application after the jump. Read More

Popular cloud storage service, Dropbox, has been consistently improving on its service, the web interface, as well as the official desktop and mobile clients. However, one feature that is currently missing in the official mobile client of Dropbox, is the option to download entire folders at once. There are a few third-party apps that let you establish a partial or complete two-way sync between your Anroid device's storage and Dropbox cloud (like Dropsync & Dropspace), but these won't be all that appealing to users who only find the need to download data in bulk from Dropbox. Folder Downloader for Android is a simple but handy solution for such users. This extremely lightweight tool works perfectly in combination with the official Android client of Dropbox, allowing you to download an entire Dropbox folder, along with all its subdirectories and underlying files to a directory on your Android device's local storage. The app supports running in the background, and keeps you informed of download progress within the notification area. Read More

Gone are the days when you had to use various Photoshop filters to make your photos look uber-cool , there is Instagram for that now. Instagram (if you haven't heard of it) is one of the most widely celebrated photo sharing web service that supports both iOS and Android devices. This gorgeous app allows people to apply numerous effects on their pictures and share them with the Instagram user community as well as with public. And with its recent $1 billion acquisition by social network giant Facebook has made the service even more mainstream and widely popular. If you're an avid Instagram user, then you must know that when using the mobile app, the images get uploaded to the Instagram server and you can view them on your PC by using its web portal or applications like previously reviewed Instagrille. However, the web app doesn’t allow you to download all the pictures saved in your account. If you want to create a backup of all the images saved in your Instagram account, Instarchive might be what you're looking for. It's also a web app and allows you to connect your Instagram account with the service, and it will enable you to download all your photos as a ZIP file. More on the Instarchive after a short break.

Downloader For iPhone: Download & View Almost Any Music & Document File Format

Safari is a pretty good mobile browser, and that’s why most users don’t feel the need to look for a new one in the iOS App Store. There are a few web browsers that hold their own against Safari, like the previously covered Dolphin browser, specially since it got its Sonar update recently. However, it is not just a two-horse race when it comes to iPhone web browsers, there are other apps out there which can let you do stuff other apps can’t dream of. As a web browser, Best Music & File Downloader Pro might not be the best option out there, and it isn’t meant to be, either. The app is all about letting you download files in popular formats, and then managing those downloads any way you want. Read More

Download Email Attachments Of Any Format From Within Gmail For Android

The official Gmail client for Android is perhaps the most complete one out there, which is why most Android users don't find the need to look for third-party Gmail clients. However, one thing that doesn’t sit well with the app’s users is its incapacity to let them download mail attachments of all formats, which is a big disappointment considering the flexibility that defines the platform. Yes, there is an option to view/save image files, directly install APKs, and perform some basic operations on a handful of other attachment formats, but you can't download, say, DOC or MP3 files. Good news is that you can fix this with Gmail Attachment Download – a free plugin for Android’s official Gmail client that does exactly what its name implies; it lets you download almost any type of email attachment to a desired folder on your device’s local storage. As their are third-party Android apps out there for opening even the rarest of file formats, this feature can prove to be very handy, for instance, when you receive a DOC file in an email and have an app on your device that can view or edit it.

Before the era of “auto-correct” and Google’s “Did you mean this”, hard copy and soft copy dictionaries were the only source to check for the correct spellings of words and their meanings. These days, Google and Wikipedia have replaced the dictionaries for checking our the meaning of words, and thanks to auto-correct, people have stopped even bothering to learn the correct spellings of words. The problem, though, lies in the fact that to get the definition and meaning of words, you have to be connected to the internet all the times. Aard Dictionary is a multi-platform, multilingual open source application that provides you with a dictionary module which lets you search words in the dictionary, as well as the Wikipedia database even when you are offline. It just requires you to download the dictionary once and you are good to go. More on Aard Dictionary after the break. Read More

Liked that image on some random website and want to save it on your local storage? Not a problem as every web browser easily lets you save any image. But what if you want to grab multiple images (lets just say tens of them)? Now you have probably hit the wall, as it's really a time wasting procedure to download each image one by one. The other way however is to try NeoDownloader, a Windows application that allows you to download images from different websites in a batch operation. The application sports a user-friendly and easy-to-understand GUI, allowing users to easily start downloading images from websites.

cacheCopy: Copy Images From Temp Folder Based On Age, Size & Resolution

by on
Leave a comment
When surfing through different websites on the internet, a lot of data is collected on our computer by the browsers, including web pages, images and videos. All this data is stored in temporary form and it gets deleted when the temp folder reaches the size limit. The browser keeps the data in its cache in order to avoid downloading everything again from a website on subsequent visits. If you want to copy something from the temporary folder, you will have to manually navigate to the folder, search for the required file, which is not an easy task considering the number of files that are usually present there, and then copy it to the required folder. For instance, if you are looking for a particular image that you saw earlier on a webpage, you will have to sift through hundreds, maybe even thousands, of stored files, before you can find the one image that you are looking for. Wouldn't it be easier if you could copy only the images from the temp folder and then look through them? cacheCopy is an open source application that allows you to automatically copy images from the temporary folder of browsers to a specified location. Moreover, the application provides you with filters for copying images according to time, size and pixel size. Read More
