ABOUT
==================
4chanGrab was developed by Random Translator to download images from 4chan, it has since been taking over by the community at large. I decided to go and modify 4chanGrab to support the newest versions of Firefox and 4chan's new API. This version is based off 4chanGrab 1.8.2 by Josh VH.
CONTRIBUTE
==================
As I know there are a lot of versions of 4chanGrab floating around the net feel free to fork this and submit a pull request, I will try to review any pull request within 48 hours or at least reply.

CHANGE LOG
==================
Version 2.0.3:
- Implemented checking of existing files with the MD5 sum (Using Webworkers to do the work in the background) if they match, the file is disabled
- Recheck files button was added to allow you to recheck the files such as when you change the folder name, change the title field, or rename the files
- Added option to disable the automatic checking of existing files, you can check the files at anytime by clicking the "Recheck Files" button
- Tweaked the regex to match more boards
Version 2.0.2:
- Fixed download code that didn't get carried over from Version 2.0 that was associated with private browsing mode
- Cleaned up the options dialog, making it a bit more readable
- Replaced 4chanarchive.org with chanarchive.org
- Added the ability to automatically create a folder in your save path based on the subject of the thread and use it for files, You can manually type in a custom folder name if you so wish
- Added default option for checkbox that enables the folder based on the subject
Version 2.0.1:
- Updated code to be based off of 4chanGrab 1.8.2 by Josh VH.
- Removed/Disabled any "Auto update" buttons or preferences, they did nothing so no point in having the options.
- Added a "Automatically close window on successful download" preference, by default it will automaticlly close the window on successful download
Version 2.0:
- Initital commit to Github
- Based off of 1.3 that was floating around
- Updated extention to use 4chan's new json API instead of scraping their html, will no longer break on html changes
- Updated downloading code to fix error about privacy, and enable downloading in private browsing mode
- This version should support all the lattest versions of Firefox, and support for future versions up until version 30
Version 1.x:
- Any changes made prior to Version 2.0 was by Random Translator or the community.
TO DO
=========
I've been thinking of stuff that would be nice to have:
- Automaticlly create (by option) folders based on the board and thread title (IE. <base folder>/a/Neko Thread/) [Implemented without board folder in v2.0.2]
- [Boards with md5 or 4chan API] If the file exists, check the filesize and md5 (if filesize matches) prior to showing the window and automaticlly uncheck the files if they match [Implemented in v2.0.3]
