Downloading Multiple Files from ConfTool

There are many ways to download files from ConfTool. If you have many files (e.g. PDF documents) that you want to download in one run and maybe even rename after a specific pattern, I recommend to use the Firefox extension "downThemAll".

 

And this is how it works:

  1. Login to your ConfTool account.
  2. Go to the according page, e.g. the list of all reviews assigned to you or the list of all submissions (if you are a chair).
  3. Start "DownThemAll" from the "Tools" menu of your Firefox browser.
  4. Select a filter for your download. For instance select "Documents" if you want to download all PDF files.
    Advanced example: If you want to download all files in their anonymized form from the chair overview list, open "Additonal filters" in downThemAll, enter Contribution*.pdf (see image below).
  5. Select a directory of your choice.
  6. Start the download.
