This is an idea for the Mentorship Program

Allow users to easily download pictures from a web page. Users would not have to right-click on a picture, and say “Save As”. Instead, users will type in a web page, and the program will show all the pictures on the page. The user can then select which pictures they wish to download.

The user will then press the “Download” button, and all the pictures will be downloaded.

• User enters URL and presses the “Refresh” button.
• Computer gets the web page in the URL, and searches for links to pictures.
• Each picture is displayed, with a button next to it
• A “Download All” button is also available.
• When user clicks download or download all, then each URL turns into a status bar, indicating how much has downloaded.
• When files are done downloading, the URL shows back up, with a “Done!” indicator on it.
• If the pictures are in a relative form (Ex: ../../something.jpg) the program will assist the user with that.

Enter the URL:  images.google.com

Which pictures do you want to download?:
