I wrote a shell script that allows you to download all images from a given sol.:
http://paranoid.dechengst.nl/files/MSLget.sh There are two rm commands in the script to clean up the tempdir. If you're afraid my script screws up your system replace them with rm -i commands. If you want any features added please let me know and I'll see what I can do. EDIT1: Added leading zeros in the directory names for easy sorting after a request for it on IRC. EDIT2: I see a lot of people downloading the script. To be clear: This is a script for *NIX systems and won't run on a standard Windows box. To get it running under Windows you need to install a *NIX environment like Cygwin. Your other option would be to install something like Ubuntu in VirtualBox. EDIT3: As RoverDriver pointed out you need to have wget on your system to use this script. The script now handles this gracefully. -------------------- PDP, VAX and Alpha fanatic ; HP-Compaq is the Satan! ; Let us pray daily while facing Maynard! ; Life starts at 150 km/h ;

Your site is already looking fantastic, Joe. I've got a few suggestions based on years of MER jpl and exploratorium use.
MER jpl is nice in that it sorts by sol, which is crucial when trying to find older images. Exploratorium is great because it sorts by arrival/release time, which is crucial when you're regularly looking at the latest images. So definitely the ability to sort either by sol or release time would make this the single best source of MSL images. I agree with Emily that thumbs should be tossed out when superceeded by higher resolution images (though perhaps the official thumbs from Mars could be used as the image thumbs on your site, if the size is right?). It's odd that the MSL jpl site doesn't do that. Another crucial feature of both MER jpl and exploratorium interfaces is that they indicate visited image links (ie visited links change colour). This makes it so much easier to catch up with images once a day or whenever you like, without having to remember which pics you've already looked at, especially when you sort by sols. One suggestion would be a border around the image thumb that changes from unvisited to visited colour, like with the MER jpl site. |
