F! Companion - Chrome Extension
1
I guess I should move this here now since it exists.
Over the next while I will be working on incorporating the new Fakku API into the project.
Below is the original post.
I've seen a few python scripts and windows clients for downloading but no chrome extensions, so I made this in order to get my one-click fix.
Hopefully at least someone other than me is interested this.
What does it do?
When you are viewing or reading a manga an icon appears right next to the "Bookmark this page" icon. When pressed it will download each individual page and put them into a new folder. Or alternatively just show you the link for each page if you would rather use another downloader.
It can also tell you when a new manga/doujinshi has been added through Fakkus own notification system and view the information about it in a dropdown window.
Installing
After downloading go to your extension page or alternatively copy this into your address field chrome://extensions/
And then drag & drop the file, that should be in the download bar at the bottom, anywhere on the page.
Since Google decided to "protect" its less computer savvy users by blocking any extension that is not on the chrome store the installation process has become less user friendly.
Currently what you would need to do is unzip the .crx file with 7-zip and then enable Developer Mode in "chrome://extensions" and then click the button that is labeled Load Unpacked Extension... After having done this you will need to navigate to the folder where you have unzipped the .crx file and load the folder.
I will look into getting this up on the store just because this method is just horribly inconvenient.
Alternatively you could use Opera and it is still super easy to install.
Latest Major Changelog
[size=14]Version 0.3.0:[/h]
- Added option for Incognito Downloads. (Useful if you don't actually want your Downloads History to be pretty much unusable because of spam from the images being downloaded)
- Added option for File Conflits. (Currently only Overwrite and Rename exist as I try to figure out how to gain more control over the 'conflictAction' event.)
- Fixed issues when trying to create a folder containing one of the following characters, \/:*?"|
- Added error messages when the server responded with an error when trying to grab links and info.
- Removed some defunct code that was no longer necessary.
- Fixed issues with grabbing the correct manga when browsing a random manga using /random
- Added support for notifications (requires Cookies)
- Added loading animation to indicate that the extension is working.(When grabbing notes for the first time it would feel like it was broken because it takes a decent amount of time)
- Should be working again from the new layout change to Fakku.
Latest Minor Changelog
[size=14]Version 0.3.4:[/h]
- Quick fix to notifications not loading when certain characters where not filtered properly.

What version are you using?
Because I've been meaning to fix the release version(0.3.4) since fakku started using 'https://', but I kinda keep "forgetting". The dev version on github should work however.

Hello, thanks a bunch for this extension. Whatever Fakku has done to their website recently has killed the GreaseMonkey link grabber.
However there are some quirks. First if someone wants to use this they have to use the Dev version from the GitHub link and they also have to rebuild the extension from the source files you provided otherwise you get a crx key invalid error (or something similar).
Second you have to go into the F! icon after the download or links button has been pressed and click on "inspect popup" to actually have the extension do its thing. Kind of annoying but it is light years better then submitting to the giant troll that is downloading images one at a time through their gallery.

Sadly the release version is still broken. I just can't get around to updating it as I feel the 0.4 release is just around the corner even though it really isn't :( I might just have to finalize somethings and release it as is and delay the other features I wanted to add for a later version.
The Grease Monkey script I haven't updated in forever, because I had completely forgotten about it. Even though the extension is based upon it, there isn't much left of it. So I could take a look to see if it would be an easy fix. But the best solution would be to re-write it based of the extension as the extension still contains the rows of links as a dropdown.
About the extension button not working. It is something I was not even aware of as I run with "Fakku Notifications" turned on, and it doesn't cause the issue then and it also works fine, in both scenarios, in Opera. So I figure it has to be some recent change to Chrome causing it to not update properly when being toggled.
But I did notice another temporary solution and that is to "drag & drop" it in the same spot and it will start working again. That is until it gets disabled again...
The "invalid crx key" issues I can't seem to replicate. So I wouldn't mind getting some more info about the steps to replicate the issue. But if you are using chrome, the best solution is to follow the instructions on github and load it as an unpacked extension.
But if this continues to be an issues I can try to get it up on the chrome web store and opera site respectively. I've just been too lazy to try before I actually had an extension I was okay with.
EDIT: I've updated the dev version on github and fixed the download issue, as there is really no reason to disable the button other than for looks, and it probably looks better now anyway...
