rescuelife

OBSOLETE!

After Picturelife shut down, this tool is no longer functional
You can try out the new SmugMugMugger tool - hope it helps you! :)

rescuelife

Rescue as much as possible from your Picturelife account

Install & run

The binary keeps a file with status of fetches on the disk.
Because of this, you can restart the application as many times as you like.

It may cause some downloads to fail, but you should probably retry all failed downloads anyways, after you have successfully run to the end once.

If the process doesn't start immediately, the Picturelife servers are probably down, the application will retry for a while and then die.

You can safely re-run the application.

If you are on OS X / macOS

You can download a pre-build binary here.
Or direct link to the binary.

In the Finder, double click on the downloaded file.

Open Terminal app, change dir to where you downloaded the binary, then run:

cd Downloads        # Takes you to your download dir
chmod +x rescuelife # This will make the file executable
./rescuelife -help  # Help text about what flags can be used
./rescuelife        # This will run the program

You can always run the program again to see if any more files has become avialable: ./rescuelife -retry

If you have Go(lang) installed

Install:
go get github.com/morphar/rescuelife

Run:
rescuelife -help

Notes

It seems like some pictures and videos are totally gone from the service.
This is why the applications skips already tried and failed images and videos.
You can retry failed images and videos, by adding the flag: -retry

My personal final result was 4656 out of 9504 files.
