Scraping only works when Language Preference setting in your Patreon page is English!
The extension will take control of the website and attempt to find all images and files. The feed needs be be a single creator filtered by a single month, or a single post. It then sends the urls to be downloaded sequentially. Uses can select if slideshows are to be scraped and downloaded. If this is not required the scraping will be significantly faster.
Due to the reactive nature of the Patreon front end, the only way to download slideshow images is to simulate a user interacting with the site. Please don't complain that you don't want to sit through slideshows, it's the only way I can get all the urls. . The reason images are downloaded at the end of the process is that network errors or timeouts will break the scraping, so trying to download a large file while scraping is a bad idea.
WARNING: If you haven't set up a default download directory, you will have to manually choose the save location for each image, which might open a lot of popup windows. It is not recommended to attempt to download too many images at once without a default download directory.
If you have a network error while scraping a slideshow, you can right click on the image missing icon and select "load image". The scraper will continue.

Works great! Definitely does the job better than any other solution I've tried. There are a couple of small issues like not being able to set the default download location and the subfolder feature not working, but other than these small things, it does the job and downloads all the full resolution images automatically. Took off one star for these small issues, but overall, pretty happy about this extension. |

Make sure to REFRESH the page you are trying to download when you first install this plugin. |

I was hoping that it would automatically download the zip and original named large image, but that didn't meet my expectations. |
