Is there a way to download ALL files with folders in one single command or
something like that? For example I want to download everything one user has. So
that files can easily be transferred to maj.com.
Thanks,
Saso

Interesting idea! I’ll check it out tonight.
You know, I was thinking that it might be smart for all of us to do some spring
cleaning on our Brickshelf galleries. I’d be willing to bet that we all have
some extraneous images in our galleries that don’t really serve any purpose in
being online. Every little bit helps, right?

(how can one back up one’s entire gallery on BrickShelf?)
Wow, what a great idea and what a nice thing to do for the community.
Where do you want bug reports?

I personally don’t like it when people clean out their galleries. What you
think is unimportant might be something really cool to me. I’m getting in the
habit of saving pictures of stuff I like, but usually I just bookmark the link.
Right now 20% of my Brickshelf bookmarks don’t work because the owner deleted
the picture.
I also like having my old crappy MOCs available to show my evolution as a
builder. Anyone can go to be Bshelf gallery and see how aweful my early MOCs
were, and hopefully learn from my mistakes.
I personally think that the 2400x1600 pictures should go - or be resized. One
2400x1600 picture is equivalent to four normal sized pics - they use up as much
space and bandwidth as legitimate sized photos. Even if there is a legitimate
reason for having a huge picture (like up close detail) - if it is that
important to you, you can use another image hosting service or pay for a web
server.

Yeah, valid points. And I'm not really talking about cleaning out good stuff, or
even ugly stuff. But upon inspection of my gallery, I may discover that I have 4
photos of basically the same shot. 3 of those could go away easily.

IMHO another thing that I forgot to mention that gulps down a lot of space are
pictures of official LEGO sets. I have got no idea why this is REALLY neccessary
, since, if you want to inventory your collection, you've already got LUGNET,
AND Peeron. Some people just take images of sets they have from the scan library
and upload them into their gallery. That is just a space chewer! I HATE blurry
Bionicle pics, and would love to see them go away (1), but they are anyday
better than this.

(1) Although I know that would be stifling of creativity, and that's just not
the right way to go....

Does anyone know if bsbackup still works? I have used this in the past with
great success and I loved it. But for some reason I can not get it to run now.
But now I get “Forbidden You don’t have permission to access ...”
If this has been disabled is there any other way to backup my / others
brickshelf accounts.
thanks
