For example in this page : https://www.monstermmorpg.com/

I want to download this image into my given target folder

enter image description here

The url of the image is

https://static.monstermmorpg.com/images/HowToPlayTheGame/Main-Game-Screen.webp

So what kind of function i can use in console window of the chrome that would download this image when this page is open without opening any new window tab, or change current window and such

I mean console window of the chrome here

enter image description here

Simply without affecting currently opened window, without changing anything

You wouldn't be able to download it without opening another window or adding things to the page, as far as I know. You would need to create some kind of link and then emulate a click, but for that you would need to add things to the current page (or create a new page with the link). Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • You could emulate a click with JavaScript (see [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30088897/trying-to-download-all-of-the-images-on-the-website-using-javascript) for example), but it would just open the image in the same tab. – drak Jun 08 '23 at 19:12
  • I interpreted OP's requirements of not "changing the current window" to mean not adding anything or altering the dom, but to be honest I'm not exactly sure what they meant. – CalPal Jun 08 '23 at 19:25
  • They later clarified: "Simply without affecting currently opened window", so I assumed they want it downloaded to the device storage – drak Jun 08 '23 at 19:30

I am not sure if this will work for your usecase. There is a download attribute available for <a>-tags. As far as i can tell it is meant to specify a name for the file downloaded.

So its meant to be used something like this

<a 
  href="https://example.com/some-file-with-an-ugly-name/as9872uj21a8d792uads32.pdf" 
  download="report.pdf"
>
  Download report
</a>

But it seems that some browser will also treat links with the download attribute as download-links instead of actual links so you may be able to fix this by just putting the download attribute on the <a>-tag like:

<a href="<some-url>" download>Download image</a>

Depends... what user gesture would be suitable to initiate such an image download?

I’ll use the right-click for this example...

function DownloadImage(Src){

let A=document.createElement('A'); 

A.target='_blank'; A.href=Src; 

A.download='someimage'; A.click();

}

In your HTML you need to add a oncontextmenu parameter to kick-start the function upon a user right-clicking on the image like this...

<img src="https://static.monstermmorpg.com/images/HowToPlayTheGame/Main-Game-Screen.webp" oncontextmenu="DownloadImage(this.src);" width="500" height="600">

PS: Greetings from Cyprus neighbor :)

Btw, seeing that you’re an expert in C/C++ I need some help too so I’d be happy to help in all things web if you can return the favor in C. Write to me at support@theclassictools.com
