Multiple Photo Downloads from Smugmug?

DrRichCox

I sometimes work with people at a distance who would like to download multiple images or entire galleries. Is this possible? If so, how?

Assuming you do not want to give out your account password, would this work: http://www.blackbonsai.co.uk/?n=portfolio_view&pid=37

I've used black bonzi's "FriendSync" on several occasions to download entire galleries (one with over 200 images)...simple, executable file/program is small and quick to install, and for downloading a single entire gallery (that is not password-protected*) from a "public" SmugMug site, it works like a charm, and is FAST.

*it will also work for password-protected galleries, but (obviously) you need to know the password.

Album Fetcher allows you to select multiple galleries to download all in one session, but you must know the site password to use AF.

Bad URL?
I've tried the BlackBonsai program but I get a "bad URL" message. Is there something I'm missing?

One possibility I know of...be sure you use just the base gallery number on the end of the URL. If, for example you use the URL for "page 2" (or 3 or 4, etc) of a multipage gallery, you'll get a bad URL message.

Remove everything after the main number for the unique gallery (eg. for http://nickname.smugmug/gallery123456#xxxx, remove the #xxxx) before cuttting and pasting the base URL into FriendSync.

Hope that's it.

I saw a thread here about AlbumFetcher. I've used that once and it was great; very easy to use, plus no installer, it was just an EXE you run (Windows).
