Extension summary

This extension won't be maintained further. I'm shelving this project due to lack of interest/utility and too much burden. The addon will remain available for download as long as the store allows, and the source on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/Marnes-group/webextensions) will also remain available to fork. I do have a greasyfork account (https://greasyfork.org/en/users/18593-marnes) and may publish works there in the future. I have mild intentions to reimplement the core functionality of CSL, IBCP, and DID as public userscripts.

Also available for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/double-click-image-download

User reviews
Flakey, and may break other extensions' functionality: I just realized that I can't rename my downloads (of any type) with TamperMonkey anymore. Turns out, when this extension is enabled, TM can't name downloads anymore (using the browser's Downloads API on Chrome). I suspect that this hooks into the downloads API in case it's needed, and says "Nope, my bad, keep the filename as it was originally", which may overwrite what GM was doing, or it prevents GM from getting there in the first place. GitLabs repo is archived, so I couldn't open an issue there. General stability/functionality is quite flakey, I find myself looking for or trying to get the popup arrow to show up half the time, meaning it doesn't make things faster or easier :/ (often it doesn't show up at all)

I've been using this product for my image downloads. It's not "Picture Picker", but it's a good tool for the basics.But I would highly recommend "Picture Picker"
