Download Project

Projects Tree
Extreme Picture Finder uses Download Projects to download files from the web. Every Project belongs to a Category and displayed in the main program window, on the Projects Tree. Selecting a Project in this tree show all downloaded files and folders.

The Download Project contains the information that lets Extreme Picture Finder find and download all necessary files from all starting addresses. You can narrow the search by adding URL filters, enter as many file types to download as you need, specify the desired file size and creation date, and tell Extreme Picture Finder what to do after the download is finished.
