Usually we share photos with our friends and relatives after some picnic or some special occasions. Currently i received lots of Picasa Web Album request to view photos. When i try to download it with picasa it was not allowed because Album was not set as downloadable by Album uploader. So i decided to find some plugin / software that download photos for me with original size. So if you don’t want to install the application (picasa software) or you use Mac or Linux, there are other ways to download a photo album also.
First you need Firefox browser. For Firefox, you can use plugin named DownThemAll, probably the best download manager add-on. After installing the extension and restarting the browser, go to the album you want to download, click on the “RSS” link from the sidebar and you’ll get the album’s feed. Right-click on the page, select DownThemAll/DownThemAll in the contextual menu, expand the Filters section and check “Images”. Don’t forget to enter the folder where you want to save the photos.
If you have anyother option also than please let us know so we can put it here which can benefit other users also.
After the scan is complete, in the Disk Cleanup dialog box, click View Files to see what Disk Cleanup will throw out once you give it the go ahead. You can check and uncheck boxes to define what you wish to keep or discard. When you’re ready, click OK.
