Simple mass downloader

This is a light and unobtrusive chrome download manager and batch/bulk/mass downloader.

Good for:
Assist the user in batch downloading various resources from the web:
● extract from the bulk links of web pages only desired ones (advanced filtering system)
● give better names for downloading files using the contextual info available for the corresponding links (name masks system)
● organise downloads by directing them to appropriate custom folders (favorite or automatic folders)

NOT so good for:
● downloading streaming media or embedded videos
● heavily javascripted sites where download links are generated "on the fly" (on user clicks) so my extension cannot see them in advance for objective reasons)

MAIN FEATURES:

● The links may be extracted from active tab / multiple open tabs or from selected text on web pages. Also from the clipboard or a local file or a pattern URL.

● Advanced filtering/mass renaming capabilities using various name masks. Also with user-defined categories for resource filtering.

● For images, there is a special thumbnails grid view where items may be ordered by the size or filtered by width/height.

● Flexible routing system: the user can set Automatic Folders where downloads are automatically directed based on custom rules.

● User-defined Favorite Folders, easily accessible when the user needs a custom download directory.

● Flexible download management, the user can:
a) pause, resume, open downloaded files, etc. (usual features)
b) set server limits or force sequential downloading mode.

● The URL list can be exported using various name masks

Please, note that
● Development is mainly done in Windows, with limited testing in Linux. No testing possibilities on MacOS, sorry.
● Before using, please verify that "Ask where to save each file before downloading" option in Chrome Download Settings is NOT checked. Otherwise, a lot of "Save As" dialog boxes will pop up, defeating the main purpose of this extension (or any other mass downloading chrome extension).
