Ponychan Imager Crawler


Have you ever been browsing a thread on Ponychan and went, "wow! I really like all the images in this thread! I wish I had a script that I could point the board moniker and thread ID to and have it download all of the images in the thread for me, with built-in duplicate image protection and automatic file extension checking!"

Well, for one, that's a very specific thing you just thought to yourself. Second, such a thing now exists.

It comes in Windows, OS X, and Linux flavors.

Someone should make a program that sorts all the ponies into their own folder.

Here I was using DownThemAll! on firefox :O
This is so much more focused, and doesn't require I switch over from Chrome to Firefox to browse ponychan. Awesome.

If you have to use a bash-shell, just open a terminal and run "bash scriptname" and it should work out for you. If you still encounter problems visit #brony-dev@irc.geekshed.net or send an e-mail to klaxa@derpymail.com

Doesn't work for me. I select a thread ID, I select a dest. Folder, I select the board and it just says "Done!".

Noobody said...

@adam1111Yes, it broke due to changes on Ponychan. Windows version is fixed and online (same link as before). Just redownload it and it should work again.

Since I don't have anypony who could compile for MacOS at the moment and the bash script was written by somepony else, these will still be affected.
