Firefox hack:Save Images to a Folder



If you are into collecting every interesting pic you ecounter on the internet like me,then you will have quite a mess to arrange up.What to do you usually do.See a pic,right click and click on 'save image as' and save it on some random drive or if you aren't that lazy you might even make a folder and name it.I recently found this addon that allowed one to save images to a particlular folder and considering the time i spent saving pics,i must tell it saved me atleast an hour of work.And that time is no exaggeration.I never saw a single 'save image as' box till i first configured the addon.

How to configure the addon:
First time when you use the addon from the right click dropdown list,you will see a edit folder button.Click on it and go to the 'edit folder'page and add a folder where the images will be saved.Now move your eyes a little down and you will see the file name box.It will be filled to '%domain%' by default.Add a .jpg to the existing filename and make it '%domain%.jpg'.
Ooh la la and you are done.Now go picture surfing and get all your images on folders of your choice.To keep it better arranged try making four or five folders naming it for different categories.

You can get the addon from here.

How To Batch Download Youtube Videos Using Download Accelerators?

In this tutorial i will explain you how to download multiple Youtube videos and also very fast,since we will be using internal download accelerators for firefox.If you prefer using an external download manager like Internet download manager or Download accelerator plus it's fine.I prefer using internal download accelerators so that we could make use of the bandwidth preference and still continue browsing without much interference.And now lets get into the details.

First choose the videos you want to download and copy the url (eg: http://youtube.com/watch?v=p6b8H1nQJaw).Copy the urls of all the files into a text file.This will help you in the first technique i am going to mention.

First method:
Go to www.keepvid.com.Copy the urls one by one by one.Get the download links and copy the download links to your download manager.Now you do this if you have plenty of time to spend.Because this is the most common way to download Youtube videos but the advantage of this technique is that you will have the option to choose between 3 formats of download (Low quality flasf file,High quality flash file and High quality mp4 file which is the ipod format).

Second method:
This method will help you fetch download links faster.Here we will be using a firefox addon Magic's video downloader(Download link).Go to the youtube video and click on the Magic's video downloader icon on the bottom corner of firefox and get the download link to that file and follow the procedure of copying it to the download accelerator of your choice like above.Magic's video downloader works with all video hosting platforms.

Third method:
This one is probably the best way to batch download Youtube files.We use a software Youtube Batch Downloader for the job.It is a 3mb download and needs Microsoft .net framework to work.But the software is a must have if you are a Youtube junkie.
Here is how you can start batch downloading 100s of youtube videos in just 5mins.

1.Sign in to your Youtube account.
2.Make a new playlist and add to it all the videos you want to batch download.
3.Direct yourself to the playlist using Youtube Batch Downloader and oh la la.
This will help you download all your favourite youtube videos just like that.Moreover you can choose from a variety of formats for downloading including wmv,mp4,div,avi etc.You can get the software from here.
