Problem Saving Images

Postby VistaHater on Mon Aug 17, 2009 5:49 am

Chrome has worked great for me but recently it has stopped allowing me to save images on some sites. On one site the image save function is a left click (not right click) and then saves as jpeg into any folder i choose.

however recently i get the usual save as box but my ONLY choice is "All Files (*.*)"

And when i go to the designated folder location the image is not there. I have cleared history, cache etc. and even done a system restore but no luck.

Also, I am running Vista (that is a whole other nightmare) so not sure if this is a problem with VISTA or chrome. help please!!

Could you tell the version of your Chrome?

I sometimes have this problem too. I find if I add the file extension after the name then it works.
Like adding .png or .gif after the title like: myimage.png or myimage.gif
Then save it.

chrome also seems incapable (by design) to work with either adobe's flashplayer or even shockwave. As such, I've gone back to IE's browser because of that and quite a few other reasons., eg; chrome doesn't seem to default recognize many other internet uses like our system's available add-ons, like my anti-virus's safe browsing toolbar, etc., etc., etc. While chrome has gotten better by removing that irrepressibly irremovable, deletable and moreover totally moronic 'recently viewed' section, chrome still seems ill affords the usual and customary usefulness that a browser should support. Many times my portable chrome won't even connect, seems there too, the designers fail to provide the customary ability to remember that it is installed on a flash drive and the user shouldn't have to drill it's files, re-create the exe, cut and paste it back onto the quick start menu just to get it to once more open chrome. As for why I'm not finding it's shortcomings either posted very much, nor are they being fixed, aside from it's defender's claiming chrome isn't supposed to be anything more than a basic browser (so as to make it quicker, etc.) I'm thinking if you have enough money, you can hide most anything.

Additionally, chrome fails me about half the time in several other aspects. I find that the hot links found in my OE6's emails, frequently won't even open chrome. Even more annoying is the fact that chrome's supposed history seems buggy as many times recently viewed pages don't list.

Annnnd chrome frequently re-hides the bookmarks toolbar (which eventually users hardwire their brains to remember to get the bookmarks to list again, one must hold the control button and press the "B" key (which that secret seems only afforded when user google and drill forums to resolve that annoyance).

Not to overlook what seems to be the most glaring aspect of chrome's browser, it's apparent inability to afford so much as the standard menu toolbar (eg; file, edit, view, etc.). So aside from nearly every customary function of a browser, it also looks like any of us who've found ant.com's toolbar (it affords downloading those otherwise un-downloadable videos from websites), we also won't be using that on a chrome browser.
