A fotopic question

[mbonwick]

A question to trouble those huge brains out there!

Is there any way of downloading pics off fotopic more than 1 at a time?

Thanks,

Downloading? Subscribe to "Premium" and you can download a whole gallery at once....


....(as I found when I had to re-format my PC, lost all of my pictures and was told i'd have to pay to get them back off of my fotopic)...

Don't use fotopic!

That's my tip.

Only prblem i have with fotopic is when i want to view it, pics are either down or the images server is being a pain.

Just cos a lot of people use fotopic doesn't mean its good. A lot of people smoke but its bad...

Simple answer semms to be no then!
Found this script which uses python to do the job, but I can't seem to get it to work

Any help would be much appreciated

How dose it back it up? Can anyone find a way to get your pics back after you have re-formatted your computer It bugs me when it happens but dose anyone know how to do it?

Try backing them up before formatting?

I back up all my photos onto DVD so if my HDD goes poop my Photos are safe.

I have just bought a 250GB HD for storing all my photos, £49 from dabs.com

That's about the 50th time I've heard you mention that now

250GB offers the best size vs price ratio...

Fotopic is brill, excellent support, the search feature is handy and a number of professionals use it.

But the compression is ****! And just cos other people use it doesn't mean its great as I explained.

And if you are not lazy than you make a "Search" feature.

If you use premium, you can opt to have the pics up at 100% quality....

 

[mbonwick]

I realise that, but does anyone seriously have a solution to my problem?



Thanks

Yes, log into your account, go to whichever gallery you want to download pictures from, and click the "download" icon near the top.

 

[mbonwick]

Except I don't have an account; and I'm not sure I want to be paying for that anyway!

 

[devon_metro]

I find, People moan at me for not having a fotopic account, but if i wanted the quality to be as good as on my site then i would have to pay.

 

[Tom]

If fotopic uses a good alorgithm for compression, the file size would be reduced but the image quality would be roughly the same.

I have never had a problem with fotopic, except once when it was down and I needed to do something. Fair enough, it goes down a lot, but think how many people use there servers & how much strain they must come under

Think how many people use photobucket. You cant use that as a reason tbh. If fotopic cant handle the users then maybe it should invest into bigger space...
