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.

Reviews of patreon downloader:
Simply doesn't work - and despite the patronising and condescending comment from certain other commenters, that has nothing to do with not refreshing after installation. It just doesn't find any files to download, of any kind, even when they're present, neither in single posts nor a list of posts by single creator and single month. On the other hand, there IS another extension with the same name but a different icon that works just fine. It might not allow bulk downloads, but at least it works, which is more than can be said for THIS extension (despite a couple of hours of troubleshooting, involving removing any and all other extensions, creating new user profiles within the browser, and trying it on both Chrome and Windows' rebadged version of the browser). Such a shame.
Hats off to the creator, glad to see it updated, but the new version has a small problem: when it grabs all files with covers (whether it's cover + multi-image, or cover + video), the cover can't Get original quality. This doesn't happen in older versions, which capture both small format and original quality. Hope it gets fixed soon!
Doesn't work whatsoever, waste of time.
