Picaloader alternative for mac

[SilverHuskie]

Hey there everyone

Im kinda new to the osx, but so far i can say i guess i wont ever return to windows.

However, one alternative program im still missing. I tend to do backups of the pictures on my website by hand because i often can't reach the control panel of my hoster to do a backup.

I used a program called Picaloader on windows, it allowed me to copy all pictures from a website by adding the adress and click the "go" button instead of drag and drop them all by using my mouse.

Maybe someone of you knows a alternative i could buy, thanks.

You could do this with automator: It has actions to open a certain website and batch download all images on the site.

Hmhh, sounds interessting. But i have to set filters, like don't follow links to other webpages.

But well, let's try, i've been looking at it but didn't find the action which would be needed, on the internet sections theres nothing like "Copy images from a website"

You do not have to download anything, its already installed with Automator (in Leopard)

Edit: I got it now, just been looking at the wrong section. Thanks though ^^
