First of all, thank you Lumax for this handy extension. I love the fact that it uses the cached images instead of (strangely) re-downloading the images like FireFox does (think of the extra bandwidth for people on slow connections).

I have a few issues with the options.

1- The "Image Types" drop-down menu can be more versatile. A check box would be handier. For example, I like to download all the Jpeg and Gif images but not the bmp and png. Currently that is not possible.

2- The logic of the "Enable Size Limit" can be improved. I set "File Size" and (especially) the "Dimensions" with Prompt for "If sizes unknown".
Problem is that even for images with 0 width/Height or the ones with smaller dimensions than specified, the extension ignores the setting and keeps on Prompting.
The logic of the script should be such that once the criteria 1 or 2 is not met, it should not proceed to the "If sizes unknown" prompt. In other words: Skip "If sizes unknown" if "Dimensions" is false.

It would also make it easier (more user friendly) to have the first box as "Dimensions" and then maybe join the "File Size" and "If sizes unknown" together or next to each other since both refer to the same property.

I look forward to the next update.
