Description
Description: This script will add thumb code collecting capabilities to deviantArt. It is also capable, of sorting thumbs, and sending notes to deviants one has featured in a journal or news article. Use it to collect tons of thumbs for features and forum activities.Shameless self promotion
Installing If you don't already have GreaseMonkey installed on your Firefox, than click here to install it . After you restarted FireFox click here to install ThumbTools. GreaseMonkey will ask if you'd like to install the script, click "install" and enjoy! IMPORTANT If you have Thumbler, or the previous version of ThumbTools installed, un-install it first.
IMPORTANT: If after installing you get the previous version again, than please delete your browsers cache, and try again! This is still a buggy BETA! Please report all errors you may come across!Keep regularly checking the menu! If a new version is released, a new menu item will appear to inform you about that!
Usage Drag your mouse over an image, and copy the thumb code. To collect more thumbs press the + button, and use the "dA Thumbs" button in the "ThumbTools" menu!
PLEASE SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT by visiting my gallery, or donating points.
Developer:
Note on Chrome compatibility: User scripts for Chrome do not allow GM_getValue and GM_setValue, and I'm making extensive use of them in this script! Due to this short coming I do not see a Chrome compatible version in the near future!
Current version > 2.0.32 beta
Changes

Version 1.1
Buttons on the top are only there when used
New stylish button designs by ~iqk

Version 2.0.31 beta
Major BUG fix! This won't change anything if you are a moderator at a group! But if you do not moderate any groups, than this will make the script work for you
Version 2.0.32 beta
Two tiny bug fixes
Version 2.0.321 beta
=Dediggefedde has partially restored functionality, after the project and the plugin was dead for about 2 years. Thanks for that!
Next version: The project was dead for 2 years now after I had started to have financial problems. Since than my life returned to normal, but for now I have other pet projects that are more dear to my heart. Also keeping a grease monkey script alive, is a pain if the host site is changing frequently and refuses to provide an API, so it is simply just more work than it's worth. Maybe one day (when the 5th or 6th similar grease monkey with basically the same features gets created, and then abandoned) dA will realize that this feature should be part of their own website, or at least they provide some kind of API. But until than I don't think I have time to take care of this regularly.
Features I wish I could have done:
User definable output styles, Support for HTML and BB codes, support Large tumbs, support :dev: and :icon: codes
handle :print: codes and prints
Saving and loading lists, adding to saved list
Show thumb menu on deviations page too.
Auto-sync selection indicators between windows
Suggest DD
Requirement FireFox, GreaseMonkey
Any other idea is welcome!
If you extend this script, please send it back to me, so I can include it in the next version

Hmm... so you open up your gallery page ( [link] ) and a ThumbTools button won't appear next to the log out button even after the page is completely loaded?

Yeah. Should I change the * in the settings to degrassiaddict?

No... it should be fine like that... Honestly I have no idea why wouldn't it start

Fantastic! I would recommend having the buttons labeled more clearly, and I'd also like to suggest making a button so that the items you selected will show up at :thumb#######: in that text box that is generated

The icons were designed by ~iqk and I think they are totally awesome, but you are not the first one to complain about clarity 
I didn't really understand your suggestion. Can you please try to make it more clear
Thx 4 the

The design is wonderful, but even scrolling over and having a simple description would help so much more!
Okay, let me try to explain better
You know how when you select a few deviations and click one of the buttons at the top, and it generates an HTML or BBC code to copy and paste else where? It would be nice if there was also a button to generate the thumbshare thumbnail codes to copy and paste right into the forum rather than needing to individually copy and paste from under the deviations.

roll over descriptions are in my plans!
There is a button like that!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh! There is! Ahaha, sorry about that! Thanks so much for clearing that up
>_> and regardless, it's still an amazing tool. I love it!

so will it work on internet explorer or do you have to have firefox?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Using Internet explorer is like leaving you front door wide open while you are not at home
IE dose not support any extension... (unlike any other browser) One of many-many reasons NOT to use IE...

thanks for the info, that was very helpful, i had no idea about that, i'm going to download firefox now
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
sorry to butt in, but Opera is by far the best browser there is, period, FF is not too bad but keep in mind that most of the options, features and preferences added to FF via add-ons have been first developed by the team at Opera and integrated to their browser, FF has just copied them afterwards, Opera rocks,

"Requirement FireFox, GreaseMonkey"

hey man I have both your script and the thumber and I have to tell you yours is so much better
great work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Too bad, that Thumber got a Daily Deviation, and ThumbTools never even got suggested
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah you are right I will suggest it maybe you get it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I still don't understand why dA hasn't come up with anything of their own to fix this issue?!
Unfortunately for me, I'm not allowed atm to download any new shit on my owna nd my brother won't approve of this deffo, especially because it requires another program of some sort...

Well... sooner or later they will... most of the useful user scripts get to be implemented after a while. 
Greasemonkey is totally trustworthy, and FireFox is far more trustworthy than Internet Explorer. If you are using IE, I would strongly recommend using FF3 instead, as the number of security flaws in IE is just ridiculous. Using IE is like leaving open your front door, and sticking a message on it: "come in and steal what ever you want to"
Greasemonkey is a plug-in for FF3, and a very well written one. Early versions did have some flaws, but by now it is absolutely safe to install it.

Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks for this tool. I will use it for DA Thumbshare.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Is it useful for anything else? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, for me, it's already a good advantage. I don't know now if I will use it for html. I manage my personal website with a blog tool and images are hosted on my own space.
By the way, I think that a person that uses your tool should at least fave it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's most kind of you!
Honestly I shared this script hoping that it will bring at least a bit more attention to the rest of my gallery as well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hope that you will reach your objective.
For sure, I will use your tool during the next days. If I continue to love it (my first test was very positive), I will mention it in my next journal update, at the end of January. By the way, would you like to receive feedback, not linked to eventual bugs, in order to improve your tool ?
And if you need ideas for similar tools, don't hesitate to contact me. I have some needs not yet met, on DA.

As I stated in the description this is a Beta version. If no bug reports are received in the near future, I will make it version 1.0
Any ideas are welcome certainly, and as long as I feel that my efforts with the user scripts worth it, I will keep developing them

I don't know if there is greasemonkey for opera, but might be
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've installed the greasemonkey script in the description though, and it's still giving me the text page

argh... now 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh i worked it out 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I plan to fix that, but it's okay like that for now
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah it doesnt cause any problems. this is really useful
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
No... actually I did not expect this problem...
Solution: save the file as [link] (extension must be .user.js not just .js) and drag'n'drop the file on a firefox window!

Thanks! Working now! I'll let you know how it goes
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
how do I install the script? I download and all I get is a page of java script.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
First you need to install GreaseMonkey for Firefox, an than the download button will act like an install button
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
installed greasemonkey but zero happened when I downloaded the script...sorry I may be missing something?
