I have attempted to download my own pictures from Webshots, and it
wasn't possible to do that. However, you can download your pictures
from Smile.
I have found a program that will download the entire arachne2003
library. Assuming some people also put videos on their Webshots page,
Webshots (Smile) has said it could take up to 48 hours to download!
However, it will be in the Webshots photo format, WBZ, which would have
to be converted. There is a program for that too, but I am reluctant to
put all of this on my laptop until we know more about where we
eventually want it to be. As time gets shorter, I may have to do it
just to save things. I suppose I can store it all on a back-up drive I
have, rather than have it filling up my hard drive!! However, the good
news is that it appears that the batch download and conversion do bring
along some of the information attached to each file.
However, the other good news is that on one of the Smile forums I found,
it was mentioned that for people who really liked the way Webshots
worked, Flickr is a good alternative.
So... we may be making progress.
