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

Fixed issue: won't allow re adding of check boxes
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

I personally don't like Google Chrome, so it's not too probable, that I would adopt this script for Chrome unless I get paid for it.

I've checked the possibilities of a Chrome compatible version, and I have bad news. Chrome doesn't support GM_getValue and GM_setValue functions, making it very hard to implement this script for Chrome!
On the other hand I would advise you to use FireFox instead of Chrome anyway... Chrome is practically spying on the users...

ok that's understandable lol. i'll try it and let you know if it works.

Thank you! In case it doesn't, let me know if you can fix it somehow by modifying the code slightly, and I'll include the modification in the next release, for others to make use of it!

Nice job, I'm going to try it out. I use GreaseMonkey for another script which I'm always toggling on and off. This will definitely ease writing feature journal entries. Brilliant idea! Perhaps also adding the option to have the fave.me link collected for outside of DA use?

It will be, along with the HTML and BBText support! [link]

THE USE OF THIS WONDERFUL SCRIPT! lol
π: 0 β©: 2
It's not just a suggestion - you CAN use it ... just install all the necessary wotnots as it states in the description!!

My bad. I didn't explain. Some comments mention some issues with this , that and the other. Plus he has started from scratch for V7, so I just figured I'd wait a few days in order for it to be ironed out that's all. I know I can install it right away.
Maybe I just will.
Now see, you've made me think and that's not good.

Looks very nice. However, I'm seeing a problem with what I think is the z-index: [link]
As you can see, it moves the window for the settings just under the thumbs. This also happens on the other windows that the script creates. I tried increasing the z-index, but that didn't work...
π: 0 β©: 2
Okay... let's make a guess... I think that maybe your browser doesn't handle too large z-index well, so let's try replacing them with 4 5 and 6 
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, that did it. I took a look at the dA css and noticed that all z-indexes are about 300. Putting the z-indexes of your script to 500 should place the windows on top of everything and so it does. (And yes, I am using a ton of other scripts and extensions, but disabling those didn't make a difference. It's definitely the large z-index that doesn't play well)
I use Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100315 Firefox/3.5.9 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
π: 0 β©: 1
Cool! Thanks for the feedback! I will fix the z-indexes for the next beta release!

I've put up a link in the #Thumbshare channel, btw. As far as I know, this is the first v7 compatible thumbing tool. Congrats
π: 0 β©: 1
WOW! Now THAT looks awful!
Yeah... it should definitely be a problem with the z-index. Is there any other script running along with ThumbTools? Which version of FireFox do you use?

Strike that last comment - the thumb code is coming up on hover, but the weird error box still comes up when I click the menu.
π: 0 β©: 1
The weird error box is where selected thumb codes should appear when there are such. To select thumbs, hover over the image, than in the pop-up click the + button. It should change to -, and next to the ThumbTools menu (1) should appear indicating that there is one selected thumb. If you add more, than the number shall be incremented. After that pressing dA Thumbs, should give you the list of thumb codes.
Later instead of the alert box I will make a nice window

That is very helpful, thanks!
When using the green + in a group collection that I have admin power over, it's pretty much impossible to click on the green +. I suspect the pencil edit function is interfering. When I logged off and then back in from a different site that didn't have admin control, there wasn't any issue with using the code +. That's all I've noticed so far that's strange.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmmmm... That's strange! I have tried on my groups gallery, and it worked perfectly fine... although I have to admit, that I'm using a development version, that is already pretty different from the last beta
π: 0 β©: 1
I've got the update installed now. The "add all" is made of total win. Love it! I was able to get around the issue with not being able to click by editing how long the box stays up. I think the edit button was causing a tiny delay and then the box disappeared before I could click on anything.
Any chance of getting the :icon: and :dev: codes added for the deviant? 
π: 0 β©: 1
Cool! I'm glad you like the new tricks!
Strange with the delays. Probably your computer doesn't handle the amount of animations on dA well... but don't worry... since dA V7 is up I can't read the artist comments without waiting 2 minutes till the freaking alpha animation goes through 
Nice idea with the :icon: and :dev: codes! I will definitely include it, but probably it won't be in the next beta. The easiest way of doing this would be together with the userstyle outputs, and that's going to be the last thing I'll do, due to it's complexity. But I add the idea to the future feature list, so that I don't forget

I'm not sure how to use the shift shortcut. How does that work?
I've got a pretty powerful computer, but man dA is getting animation happy. I hate the fuzzy deviations even though they're loading a lot faster than they used to.
I saw all the suggestions for updates. Looks like people are trying to get you to recreate as many aspects as possible from this old script: [link] . 
This updated script is awesome! I used the old version back on v6 and I'm so glad you're working on it again for v7.
π: 0 β©: 1
The shift selection works just like in windows explorer. Select the first deviation, hold down shift, and click on the last one. The deviations between them get selected.
We shall see if I can somehow kill those animations with a script. But maybe starting a petition to make the animations optional, would be a good idea! Lot of people have these problems!
I didn't know this old script! But I know two other similar old scripts
Cool!

It's not working inside Group collections. It gives me a blank error box where I have to click "ok". The drop down does appear, though.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh... and I hope, that I could help in my other reply! Let me know if something is still strange!

I'd love to beta test. But I can't seem to install it properly. I install according to your description, but then nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?
Help would be much appreciated.
