This chrome extension creates a context menu (right-click menu) which opens a new page showing metadata it discovered about the image or link.
Some information it will always get right: the page you were on, what link you right-clicked, or the date.
Other bits of data it attempts to infer from the page:
- Link to license or licenses.
- Name of the author or authors.
- Link to the author's page.
- Description of the image.
Sometimes it is unable to retrieve this information or gets the wrong information but you can change the data as you see fit.
From this second page you can the media, and save the metadata about the media in two files. The metadata is saved in JSON format as a text file.
On Linux machines I've also provide simple python script
(http://code.google.com/p/media-attribution/source/browse/scripts/watch.py) to watch one or more directories where you are downloading the media to ensure the filenames match the metadata, among other things.
With this extension you can quickly grab Creative Commons (CC) material for a presentation or report and maintain the information required for proper attribution.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
