A number of the sites I grab images from have started using the jCarousel library. This library gives you a horizontal strip with thumnails below a zoomed image. The problem with this is that it keeps only a certain quantity of thumbnails active. As you scroll left or right, new thumbnails are brought in and old ones discarded. If the gallery has say 60 images then only 18 maybe loaded. If all the filenames are basically the same except for an incremental sequence number then I can use the batch download to get the images. But if the file names are all different, it becomes much more difficult. Do you have any idea on the best way to handle sites using this library?
