I didn't understand your problem, could you please explain it better, if you like you can email me.
Have you tried to install the .deb package from here ?

I also noticed that searches with Google Image are no more working with public method, ajax method still work. I already fixed for the next release
Hi thanks for your quick response.
Actually i am trying to run this application in Ubuntu(Linux) machine not phone for that i installed QT packages and webkit packages in my ubuntu machine. With that i am able to build this application but when i launch and try to use google search in ajax method it showing "Connection refused" error.
I checked in code and find out when it's trying to make connection through socket it's got network error.
Please suggest should i install some more package to make it work.

I really don't know what the problem is. If it compile you don't need any other packages. Does Youtube works ? If doesn't work either, the only thing comes to my mind is maybe a proxy. Have you also tried to install the .deb package ?
I just run it and here works :(
I tried You tube also it's not working.
Till now i set http-proxy should i have to set anything else also please mention.
Till now i didn't try with .deb package now i am trying once its done i will update the status but i think this one also will not work.
network.cpp must be modified to work with a proxy. But I have not much free time now to do that.
You should see QNetworkAccessManager *manager; variable inside that network.cpp. Look at that and look also at QNetworkAccessManager::setProxy ( const QNetworkProxy & proxy ) to make it to work. Also I can't try an inmplementation of that since I have no proxy.
If you want to add such thing and maybe add a proxy settings to mediadownloader, you are free to do that since it is open source :)
Let me know (maybe with email), if you succede to todo I can put it in the future versions :)

well, I just bought a nokia n900 (awesome), installed MADDE, recompiled and voilà, the app runs. But there are some problems that I have to dig into like opengl doesn't refresh well, doubleclick on a thumbnail doesn't do anything and some other little things, but it's great! Maybe I'll just wait Meego will take over Maemo also because it's not clear for me (just started) to make a deb package for Maemo and overall things work. About Symbian, I have no phone to try with and I never tryed to install the suite (only on windows I think ?).
If you have some experiences with those and want to try, let me know, we can do something together :)
Hi bro, excellent app! I have only one question, is filtering working? Because I have the same result using Moderate Filtering and Strict Filtering, but the browser shows me different pictures... Is this feature working?
Best regards! :-)
Hi,
thanks for your comments and the feedback.
You are right, somthing changed in the search parameter needed by Google image search url. Now it works correctly, I tryed searching for 'babe' and the results changes with no filter and others restricted :-)
have fun
i cant compile it
i execute qmake and after make:
[dimitris@localhost ImageDownloader]$ make
cd main/ && make -f Makefile
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dimitris/ImageDownloader/main'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/local/Trolltech/qtsdk-latest/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++-64/qmake.conf', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dimitris/ImageDownloader/main'
make: *** [sub-main-make_default] Error 2
Yes, sorry. Was just the end of line char created in windows os. You can redownload or just remove the windows EOF char (0x0D0A) from main.pro, or copy all make new doc, paste and write over old main.pro.
Thanks for the report
thanks, is ok the compile but i have a segmentation fault when i try to running it. For installing it i packaged and it did nt made me an debug package (as usual) so in gdb it has no informations.
I have mandriva 2010.1 KDE 4.4 with qt 4.6
is ok for mandriva 2010.1
before i tried in a mandriva 2010.0. May be the different version of qt caused a problem

Hi,
i have compiled your program and after run i have no output. Now i have look for errors and found this:
In parse_html is rx_start.indexIn(*html, pos); after the run -1. Same list_img.size(); is 0.
So your program never goes inside the while condition.
I never see a pic.
What´s wrong?
Hi toems,
seems that html is not retrieved from google.com. Maybe have you a proxy ? This is the only thing I could thinking about, because I tried now and it works fine. Proxy setting are not implemented.
By the way did you mean the loop in rx_data.indexIn(*html, pos) not rx_start ? You can try to comment lines from 283 to 286. Let me know.
I also have the same problem with the MSI Windows version of Google Image Dowloader. I downloaded and started it but it doesn't find any image when I click on the search button.
I have no proxy configured in my home pc.

Thanks, alnitak! SUSE packages updated with new name. http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=mediadownloader
Hey I was just thinking this would be a great app for mobile devices. Have you thought of porting this to S60v5 / S60^3 / Maemo? Thanks

Sorry I use the executable Windows version not MSI.
