Since people recently helped me automate this I thought I'd post the script I use and a guide how to make it work properly (should be fairly easy).

This let's you download galleries from many sites and support for the ones I've encountered is pre-added.

UPDATE: The script and instructions have been ported over to github
LINK: github.com/arandom0/jdownloader-automated-gallery-download

Good job!

Even though I'm not working a lot with JS you created some nicely readable code with documentation and errorhandling.

A few suggestions when it comes to poosting this in our forums:

• I recommend putting in in a github.com repo (or similar) so you can maintain it easier and other users can follow easier. Also IK'm quite sure that this one will not be the final version of that script
• If you wish to keep the code directly in your post in our forums, I recommend to at least additionally putting it into a pastbin service like pastebin.com and link it here so that our forum URL-censor cannot potentially mess with the syntax of that script -> When quickly looking over it though, it doesn't seem like our forum broke any of the syntax so far.

You can remove this part from your instructions.
The restart is not needed anymore though it used to be required in the past.
Whenever you're changing settings that require a restart, JDownloader will let you know this in a dialog box.

While this is correct, I'd nearly call this a design flaw of JD or let's call it a missing feature:
By using the Packagizer rule, the final filename will be set regardless of whether or not a file-extension is present.
It's like when you modify filenames inside JDownloader: You will force it to use those.
Now it would probably be nice if we had a setting like "correct/add file-extension whenever it is missing" because for most of all cases, the file-extension will be given via the Content-Type header when starting the download.
This feature would preserver the previously set file-title and only touch the file-extension.
At this moment this is not possible though and the file-extension will be missing in such cases.

Ok thanks. I may create a github. I also edited the post as you suggested.

As for the filename thing, in my eyes it's not a big deal because my file manager (Thunar) has a bulk rename feature built in. I can easily select a bunch of files and add an extension. Windows probably has some bulk-rename program like that as well. In any case, I'd much rather have the correct filename and no extension than the other way around. Moreover this only happens with LinkCheck disabled (which most people don't do) and only with 1 or 2 of the image hosts I've encountered. Imx.to is one of them.

Alternatively if no extension is given but you know it, you could add each link one by one and force the filename.
This would eliminate the need of the Packagizer rule completely but add more complexity to your script.

maybe this should be sticky? (and ammended with a link to the github project if it becomes available)

I added a github, though idk what's good about it other than in the case of updates:
github.com/arandom0/jdownloader-automated-gallery-download

This thread is now a sticky.

Ok thank you! I edited the top comment to include the github link. You were right, it is more convenient. I just added support for 2 other sites and and did some bug fixes and don't have to edit that complex post I had

[pspzockerscene]

I'm happy you like it.
I'll leave that one up as a sticky as long as your script is actively maintained and/or working fine for its purpose.
Thanks for your contribution!
