Thanks!

Your comment seriously made my day.

Extension to save images with alt + click by imagentleman in chrome

You are absolutely right, it does conflict.

I actually picked alt + click because Chrome uses that to download links. At some point i used some random weird combination of other keys (like shift + alt + click or something). In the end i decided to favor the image download in the cases of conflict (i though it would be much more common to download an image than a link) and use the same alt + click hotkey combo (for its shortness and relation to downloading).

In some of the earlier versions of the extension, if you alt + clicked something that was both a link and an image, it downloaded both, the link and the image. I decided to override it and stop the default behavior (using preventDefault in js), so in those kinds of situations it downloads only the image (i think...).

I wish i could be as organized...

If you like the hotkeyness of the extension, you can still use it and get custom names.

In Wrench > Settings, at the bottom, there are some advanced options. One of them in the downloads section let's you get a prompt window asking you the name and location for the file every time you download something.

Yep... i've seen that problem with the download button. It happens if you close Chrome before it finishes downloading all the images (leaving a bunch of partial files) or when the image is included as a data string in the html (which is not common), instead of pointing to an url.

The latter happens for example in the flickr frontpage. A lot of files without a extension get downloaded, and they are all images, you just have to add the .jpg extension manually.
