Exactly what I needed!Thank you so much for the plug in. This was the one missing link I had between using Lightroom and PS3 for local image managment and web publishing. This will save me many hours of duplicate effort.

hello Jeffrey,

I just discover your bog which is great with nice pictures; Thanks.
I just installed the picasa web plugin, wonderful !
I am wondering, if you can develop a similar plugin in Lightroom for direct export in gmail ? Such as the email function in picasa ?
thanks for your feedback.

Until Google releases an API for Gmail, I’m afraid that it’s beyond my energy level to make an uploader for Gmail. It’s very high on my priority, if they make that API. —Jeffrey

Thanks for the plugin!

I’m having some trouble with it with a non-gmail email address. I get an error message popping up with “INTERNAL PLUGIN ERROR: couldn’t get username info from Picasa Web”. If I try to login with a @gmail address this doesn’t happen.

I’m using 1.4.1 with the latest version (also tried a few other previous plugin versions but get the same result).

I’m assuming Google has made some change to their response format so you’re not parsing it correctly. Any idea what could be going wrong?

Thank you for the Picasa plugin. It’s very handy, especially when coupled with ‘Run Any Command’ piglet.

Would it be possible to add a comment containing a caption (or other LR fields) to the photo? Picasa supports only one field for direct image description making it impossible to add both title and caption.

However, there are comments, which can be added also by the author. So I thought of using it to hold my captions, scene description etc. I don’t know if Picasa API allows this, but if it would that would be a great way to better describe photos.

To make it flexible, I imagine, one could use a LR custom text field – just like when defining file name – where it is possible to place a combination of placeholders for metadata. I would also prefer the same for the title field too.

Well, it looks like I posted two feature requests What do you think of it?

Hi, my again it is definitely the plugin as when i select the save to disk option in your plugin and than upload this image through the picasa website the Coordinates are displayed. I have left my email maybe i can provide additional information.

Thanks again Mathes

Indeed it was… 20080605.25 should fix it now. Thanks for the bug reports, guys… —Jeffrey

Same Problem with the GPS coordinates. When uploading the same photo via the picasa website the Coordinates are displayed. Haven’t activated the minimize option. Thanks for the Plugin.

Thanks a lot for developing this plugin! Hopefully you're reading comments here. I've found what might be a bug in it. Export seems to work fine in LR 1.4.1 except for some metadata, notably GPS coordinates. When exporting through the Picasa plugin, the GPS data seem to disappear. If you get this, feel free to email me; I'd like to figure out what's going on here. Yoroshiku ne. ~~It seems to work for me.~~ Er, I've fixed it now, in 20080605.25 —Jeffrey

Guarana’s fix worked for me as well. Is this a bug in Lightroom 1.4.1, or something that could be fixed in the plugin?
