Facebook says I have 600 photos and PG only downloads 300 omgwtfbbq?Privacy settings. A facebook application with a user's credentials has different permissions than the same user accessing facebook from a browser. The people who have uploaded and tagged pictures of you are probably blocking applications from accessing their information. Get them to relax their privacy settings or, better yet, get them to use PhotoGrabber too! Will this app steal my credit card number?No. Check the source code if you would like to verify. Will this app spam my friends?No. Why can people download pictures of me?See Privacy. Why can't I download pictures of my friend?See Privacy. I get a dialog that says "An unidentified program wants to access your computer", what does that mean?pg.exe will actually extract a Python executable and the PhotoGrabber scripts to a temporary directory and clean up that directory when the script has finished. This is just your computer making sure that you give pg.exe permission to access your harddrive. I can't find the error log file on WindowsThe pg.exe.log file is probably in a hidden folder like "AppData". To view and navigate hidden folders follow these steps: In the file explorer click the "Organize" tab in the upper left. >> Navigate to "Folder and search options" >> Click the "View" tab >> check "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" |

how can i download all the photos from a fan page
Photograbber only downloads pictures tagged with you or a friend. I've heard good things about FacePAD for album downloading (it may do what you want):

I've got a problem on using this apps ,after I finish all the steps, and finally reach the last step I pressed begin download and selected my directory.It shows no further responds, and when I closed the apps,it tells me to check the log file ,here is what I got ,what's wrong with that??
[ Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "Tkinter.pyo", line 1410, in call File "pg.py", line 108, in download File "tkDirectoryChooser.pyo", line 44, in askdirectory UnicodeEncodeError??: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 31-32: ordinal not in range(128) ]
superipchunkit- what revision are you running from?
PhotoGrabber Win (r36)
looks like tkDirectoryChooser is trying to convert a path with a unicode character in it into a normal string. I've reproduced the problem on OSX and am working on a fix. Thanks for reporting the bug!
I find it works when directory is just under local drive (( C:// )), the problem maybe caused by the language of windows because I use the Chinese one
Great tool! Also would be good support for Fan pages albums and company pages albums. FB API supports it.

my norton security want let me download photograbber?
what can I do To download photograbber?
will the user know if i download thier photos?
Nice job being specified on LifeHacker?.com! Where can I request features? I would love to be able to run this from the command line. Be able to specify the login token, the "Friend", and the target folder all with command line switches. Then I can run it automatically once a day or so. This, combined with picasa would allow me to use my wifi picture frame now that framechannel went belly up. thx for a great product.
Great work! worked like a charm to download all my pics from Facebook (and then to Google+)
will friends be able to see if you've downloaded their tagged photos?
if i use this program again (for example in a week), will it re-download the pictures that I just downloaded?
People, I doubt very much others would know you're downloading (stalking) their pictures. ;-)
When I download my albums, the photos aren't the full size download as when done manually. Is there a way to download the fullsize versions?
Is it possible to download photos of yourself?
Or will I have to get a friend to log on facebook on my laptop and download myself that way?
I uploaded hi-res photos to Facebook. My hard disk subsequently crashed and I lost all photos...my only backup is on Facebook. Does Photograbber download photos in hi-res?
what is login token ?
that was my question too: what is login token? I'm not a native speaker and have never heard of that. I know what a login is, though.
is there a way to download them chronologically? (starting from earlist and ending in latest?)
