Hi,
I have used this software for a long time. Suddenly a few days ago it stopped working, image search shows images searched and parsed but doesnt display anything. The download window shows up but everything stays at 0%.
I am on Kubuntu Maverick with latest updates from backports but no launchpad.
Can you help ?
Here the mandriva rpm
http://www.mandrivalinux.gr/rpm/2010.1/i586/mediadownloader-1.4.3beta-1mgr2010.1.i586.rpm
There is no mediadownloader.desktop file in the tarball, i used the file of the previous version
In first time the "Starting from" field is "0" which is means 0 results. May be a new user cannot understand why he has nt resaults, will be better to turn it "1" by default
hi dglent,
thanks for the package.
The "Starting from" field is meant.... better to do an example:
I want 100 results and put 100 in the "number of results" field. When I am done with downloding, removing or such, I want to load other 100 results, so in "Starting from" I must put 100 so it will displayed results from 100 to 200.
0 means to start from the beginning of results from Google.... here.... I got you ... from the first image Google gives :)

Hi boss, Just wanted to know if you can upload an update... :)
Hi, My google search isn't doing anything. The search box goes grey for a second and comes back instantly with 0 results.
Yes, Google changed again :( I have already fixed, but not much time to release. Hope between Christmas and the new year I will
No problem, have a good Christmas dude... :)

"ajax mode" is limited by Google to 63 images. I fixed the browse link. Updated to verion 1.5.1-3 Thanks
Thanks for being so quick with updates and also for making this software...Helps me a lot. I will checkout the latest version later today.
Hey alnitak I dunno what you did but its blazing fast now and very stable as well. Much appreciated dude.
Right, I commented too soon hehe The google option downloads only thumbnails even if I set the image size to large. Thats why its fast...

Thank you for your interest ! I didn't noticed this problem yet. I will apply to this as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot alnitak
meanwhile you can use "Ajax api" in "search method" box in the "google image" tab
Ok that works, it gives me less images than public mode. Could download 63 when I searched for 200, but its something. Thanks for heads up.
