Image Scraper

How to:

To start out you just add one or more url's to the top box, alternatively you can load a list of url's from a file, Then you click start and wait for the scraped image links to appear in the bottom box. Note that there might be a small lag in the links that are scraped and the bottom box updating.

Flaws:

The bottom box that shows all the scraped image links has a small flaw. You cannot directly copy the links form it, ctrl + c won't work. You will have to save to a file and go from there. This program also doesn't have a option to download and save images apart from the preview option. The reason it doesn't mass download images and only scrape image links is because there are plenty download managers that are made to be reliable. They will work a lot faster for mass download than anything a could slap together for a added features. I recommend using orbit which i usually use but i am sure there are plenty of other good download managers.
You can import your list of Image links with orbit by clicking File - Import list of downloads. Orbit also allows you to set how many to download at once and download speed.

Preview box:

The preview box shows a preview of the image link you are clicking on. You can save the image in the preview box by clicking on it. So far it can only save bmp, gif, jpeg, png, tiff and wmf but the scraper still scrapes all image formats.
