Author Topic: Deleting images from DT and FT - looking for scripts (Read 5918 times)

rene · « **on:** March 03, 2010, 09:53 »

I want to delete my images (almost 1500) from Fotolia and Dreamstime. I have red, long time ago, that there were scripts for doing this. Anyone has an idea where I can find them?
Thanks for your help.

I found a macro recorder WinMacro http://winmacro.codeplex.com/ very useful for repeated actions. But if you are running Mac, it wouldn't help.

I wrote bookmarklet that checks all checkboxes on a page and then opens new window for deleting checked images. Works on DT but I guess you can adapt it to work on FT.

I wrote mine using AutoHotkey, a programmable keyboard/mouse macro recorder. Very easy customize and do just about anything if you've got a programming background. It's only drawback is that if you use mouse clicks, your scripts are dependant upon screen resolution, and on some of the sites you just can't reliably do some things without clicking the mouse.

Well, have a fun,
I spent more than a couple hours deleting my portfolio (4000+ images) from Stockexpert.

StockXpert was easy to delete compared to DT. With StockXpert, you could delete a whole page at a time, versus disabling each file individually with DT.

I did not see that option.

For anyone still interested in this topic... I just tested out imacros for chrome: http://www.filetransit.com/view.php?id=114719 on OSX. recorded the following macro - then set it to loop. Depending on your connection speed, it should take about 10 mins per 100 files. This will basically delete the files starting from your lowest downloads.

VERSION BUILD=1100208 RECORDER=CR
URL GOTO=http://www.dreamstime.com/onlinefiles.php?pg=1&srchby=&orderc=downloads&orderm=ASC
TAG POS=1 TYPE=IMG ATTR=SRC:http://www.dreamstime.com/localization-images/en/btn_edit2.jpg
TAG POS=1 TYPE=IMG ATTR=SRC:http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/img/btn_disable.jpg
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:RADIO FORM=NAME:frm_disable ATTR=ID:rd_confirm

TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:IMAGE FORM=NAME:frm_disable ATTR=SRC:http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/localization-images/en/btn_sbmit.jpg

Hope this helps someone!
