[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1331866, member: 38864"] Ok… that's definitely an interesting way of doing things. Well I can't think of a way to do that exactly in OS X. However, what you can do is pre-download the pictures off a website using an application like DeepVacuum. You can point this app to a website and have it download just image files, for example. Then you can point to the folder it makes and browse the files on your computer. Realistically, this isn't much different from what you are doing now. Windows Explorer is downloading those images anyway the way you are doing it now, just like any web browser is (they are stored in a temporary cache folder). Right now, I am trying out [URL="http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/12760/deepvacuum"]DeepVacuum[/URL] to grab all image files off Avatarist.com, and just now I aborted it because it had grabbed quite a lot of image files and was still going. But they are sorted and categorized like the website is, and browsing them now is far faster than if I was to do so via Safari. There are other apps besides DV that do a similar task, but this type of route is really your best option. You have to plan up-front to suck down the site's images, but once done, browsing and uploading will go faster. [/QUOTE]
