"Download Everything" option?

Is there any way to download all the icons I've received at once?

The chefs have already noted that this will never be a feature.

not so far...

I also would like a link of: "View All"
to avoid the next, next, next, next to see my complete collection.

@daniel That would save me a lot of time. Not browsing through my own collection, but to see what other people have.

danielsemper on Aug 14, 2007

Yes I think this is a must. View All.

zelda013 on Aug 14, 2007

oh, seriously, view all is crucial. just a simple list, where you can see all of them at once. i actually suggested that in tamashii's feature request blog but i don't think it ever got added to the list... maybe if a lot of other people made a request in that blog for it too (hint hint)...

View all would be great.

This post is about: Download Everything

To avoid the off topic (sorry taario) I made a post about the View All :)

Oh well. =(

Just think about it. Unless there is some fancy script or software out there, can you imagine the multitude of zip files they would have to make? Every combination of every set and in varying numbers. And every time a new icon set comes out all those files would have to be updated and new files created for every combination of sets and number of sets. That would be a huge undertaking and time waste not to mention a drain on the server resources.
I don't want the chef's time spent in that manner. I think single downloads are perfect as they are. After all, this is a FREE service!

@Jen PHP can actually zip / unzip things, it can even feed data directly to the download, so they can make a zip with all the icon zips and it wouldn't even be stored on the server it could just be fed to whatever is downloading it.
