Imgur Album Downloader

New in Version 1.0 beta:

• Download all Imgur images from a Reddit user - By entering the URL to a Reddit user profile, the program will download all images the user has posted in either links or comments.
• Save to field history - Program will save a user defined number of previous entries for the save to field, preventing the need to browse for a folder every time you open the program.  This feature can be disabled by checking the “don’t save history” box.  Previous entries can also be cleared using the clear history button.
• Create a new folder for album - The title of the folder can be based on either the album title, gallery URL, or a custom title defined by the user.
• Better error handling - If an image is not found or cannot be downloaded, the program will skip to the next available image instead of presenting an error.  The errors will then be printed to an error log.
  
• Upgraded status notifications - A little bit more detail will be given in the new status bar area at the bottom of the program.
• Program update notifications - If a new version is available, the status bar will mention it.
• Cancel button - A Cancel button will replace the OK button when downloading image

I like this program, can I share it?

Yes, you may absolutely share this program or mention it on other websites!  Just be sure you give me credit and link back to my site (http://www.skylark95.com/).

What is this settings.ser file?

This file keeps the saved settings for the program.  The first time you start the program, it will create this file.  If you do not keep it in the same directory as the .jar file, your settings will be lost.

Cannot start the program?

If the program is not working, be sure that you have downloaded and installed the correct version of JRE 7 to your computer.  Then start the program by double clicking on the .jar file (If on Windows you may also launch it by clicking on the .bat file).

Having issues?  Found a bug? Questions or Suggestions?

Send me an email at skylark95atc@gmail.com

I will try to get back to you as soon as I can.
