I'm not sure if this is the right category to post this, but if it's not maybe someone can move it.
Over the last few weeks I wrote a Python script that will download all images in a particular thread on Geekhack and generate
a report file with URL links to where the image was first encountered in the thread. It started because I wanted to use all the
images from the 'post your clacks' thread to be randomly displayed for my screensaver at work. Then, as I was looking at the
images that were downloaded, I wanted to know who posted them and where so I modified the script to create a report file.
The script will do it's best to find situations where there are duplicate images and squash them from being downloaded multiple
times. It doesn't download gifs, but it cannot currently distinguish between meme jpegs that have been uploaded or valid pictures.
I am in no way an amazing Python developer as I normally write C for my day to day job, but I've created a Github page with
instructions on how to use the script here:
https://github.com/stevegcarpenter/geekhack_image_downloaderAny feedback on how it might be improved or where the instructions aren't clear enough would be well appreciated. And of course,
I hope it serves the purpose for others that it did for me.
