The extension can work on both the classic and modern Reddit design. However, there are differences in functionality.
Classic/Old Reddit Design
You cannot save the image from the subreddit list view or the thumbnail of the post. Doing this will prompt an error when you try to save it.
"Saving images directly from the subreddit is not supported on old Reddit. Click on the post and save the image again"
As the error message implies, you must click on the post then right click and Save image as (AutoRename)
Modern Reddit Design
You can save the image through the subreddit list view or right clicking the thumbnail ONLY if you are using CARD view. If you are using CLASSIC or COMPACT then you must click on the post itself then save the image.
Only option is available:
Save image as (AutoRename): Clicking this will download and save the image in the highest quality available. Depending on your preferences, the filename will appear in this format by default: [Reddit] - [Subreddit Name] - [Post ID] - [Post Title] - [Date] - [Random String]
- Find a post wherein you want to download images from. Note, the extension does not work when browsing through the feed or someone's profile.
- Click on the post and the URL should show have
post
- AutoRename should appear in the context menu to save the image
