Is there any easy way to let a guest download one single gallery (all pictures) in one doing?

Best regards,

    Not that I know of, without you giving access to the account and using something like AlbumFetcher

    I think if you assign a Guest password, they can use AlbumFetcher and do this.

    Well, AlbumFetcher crashes when I try using it (I cannot even log in), so I dare not rely on that.

    Thanks to you and Barb for your answers.

    I'm the author of AlbumFetcher. Can you please describe your problem? There seems to be some small percentage of people who are unable to login. I've been unable to replicate the problem, so I can't fix it, yet. I know this has been a frustrating issue for those unlucky few.

    On this page of the AlbumFetcher thread I have a request for someone having these issues to temporarily give their login info so I can debug the problem. I haven't had any takers, yet. Hope I can help...

    This is the result of my attempt to log in:
    http://www.initio.dk/gallery/2443686#128896249

    I get a log file, but there is nothing in it.

    Is there something in common for the users who cannot log in? Nationalization settings other than US English, for instance?

    I am using MS Windows XP Pro SP2 with Danish nationalization settings.

    You might be right with the language issue. I'm 90% certain that the issue is string-related. Thanks for the photo. If you'll subscribe to the "official" AlbumFetcher thread, you'll be sure to get the fix whenever I'm able to nail the exact issue down.

    Sorry for your troubles. For what it's worth, I've considered a "public" version of AlbumFetcher that would bulk download anyone's galleries which were public. Not sure whether I really want to go down that path, though. Seems like it could be easily abused, even though it's technically in line with current SmugMug policies. If you have any thoughts on this, I'd be happy to entertain them.
