ThumbTools by =rdevill is an amazing greasemonkey script that drastically reduces the number of clicks needed for putting together a journal or news article feature. It's an absolutely fantastic idea that is really useful!
(Suggested by =KneelingGlory)

This is one of the most useful scripts I've come across as it makes for complete ease of access when it comes to collecting thumbs and mass-noting deviants to let them know they have been featured...it's a timesaver - a real gem!
(Suggested by `Kaz-D)

A brilliant and extremely helpful dA user script enabling deviants to collect thumb codes for their features with a single click instead of visiting every deviation page and copying the codes. One can save and edit feature folders, sort the deviations by aspect ration, and later post them in their journal or news article, what makes a feature easy and fast to do! I can't imagine my life without this script!

ThumbTools

Description

Description: This script will add thumb code collecting capabilities to deviantArt. It is also capable, of sorting thumbs, and sending notes to deviants one has featured in a journal or news article. Use it to collect tons of thumbs for features and forum activities.

Shameless self promotion




Installing If you don't already have GreaseMonkey installed on your Firefox, than click here to install it. After you restarted FireFox click here to install ThumbTools. GreaseMonkey will ask if you'd like to install the script, click "install" and enjoy! IMPORTANT If you have Thumbler, or the previous version of ThumbTools installed, un-install it first. :) IMPORTANT: If after installing you get the previous version again, than please delete your browsers cache, and try again!

INSTALL SCRIPT

(After installing greasemonkey)
This is still a buggy BETA! Please report all errors you may come across!

Keep regularly checking the menu! If a new version is released, a new menu item will appear to inform you about that!



Usage Drag your mouse over an image, and copy the thumb code. To collect more thumbs press the + button, and use the "dA Thumbs" button in the "ThumbTools" menu!

PLEASE SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT by visiting my gallery, or donating points.
Developer: :iconrdevill:

Note on Chrome compatibility: User scripts for Chrome do not allow GM_getValue and GM_setValue, and I'm making extensive use of them in this script! Due to this short coming I do not see a Chrome compatible version in the near future!

Current version > 2.0.32 beta

Changes

Version 1.1
Buttons on the top are only there when used
New stylish button designs by ~iqk
DeviantWatch button removed (dAs new version has it by default)

Version 2.0.31 beta
Major BUG fix! This won't change anything if you are a moderator at a group! But if you do not moderate any groups, than this will make the script work for you :XD:

Version 2.0.32 beta
Two tiny bug fixes

Version 2.0.321 beta
=Dediggefedde has partially restored functionality, after the project and the plugin was dead for about 2 years. Thanks for that!

Next version: The project was dead for 2 years now after I had started to have financial problems. Since than my life returned to normal, but for now I have other pet projects that are more dear to my heart. Also keeping a grease monkey script alive, is a pain if the host site is changing frequently and refuses to provide an API, so it is simply just more work than it's worth. Maybe one day (when the 5th or 6th similar grease monkey with basically the same features gets created, and then abandoned) dA will realize that this feature should be part of their own website, or at least they provide some kind of API. But until than I don't think I have time to take care of this regularly.

Features I wish I could have done:
User definable output styles, Support for HTML and BB codes, support Large tumbs, support :dev: and :icon: codes
handle :print: codes and prints
Saving and loading lists, adding to saved list
Show thumb menu on deviations page too.
Auto-sync selection indicators between windows
Suggest DD

Requirement FireFox, GreaseMonkey

Any other idea is welcome!

If you extend this script, please send it back to me, so I can include it in the next version

This is so simple yet practical. It's more than original and should be applied to DA as a permanent fixture so members don't have to download the application and install more apps to get it to work properly.
Any more ideas from this person and i'm sure they will be a future worker of DA staff.

I love how you can easily add thumbs and remove it by a simple action.

There might be a small downside to this however but with a simple modification i'm sure this is possible to have without further applications onto browser. A+ & thumbs up!
