OpenImage

Provided that you have .NET Framework installed, you don't need to set up anything else. This means that you can save OpenImage in any directory on the disk and simply click its executable to launch the utility. Unlike most installers, it doesn't integrate new entries into the Windows registry.

The GUI is based on a small window that permits you to create a new download task by filling out some information. All elements are cluttered, which makes it difficult to discover OpenImage's features. Supported image types for downloadable files include JPG, GIF, PNG and BMP.

After you specify the website's URL, you can indicate the saving directory on the disk, exclude any file extensions (all of them are taken into account by default), as well as set the minimum and maximum picture size (height and width). The download job can be started immediately, postponed, and paused.

On task completion, it's possible to open the target folder without leaving OpenImage's interface, along with the downloading page. It can be asked to automatically rename image files with sequence numbers, empty the saved folder when the download begins, and to exit on task completion.

No error dialogs popped up in our tests, and the application didn't hang, crash or display error messages. It didn't hog system resources, since it used low CPU adn RAM. However, the interface makes OpenImage look like an unfinished project, which is actually accurate when keeping in mind that it hasn't been updated for a long time and it remained in beta development stage.
