Description Christophe Muller 2007-03-22 12:37:45 UTC 
Version:           0.9.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Hello,

I would like to be able to export selected pictures to the Picasaweb on-line galleries in a given album, similarly to what can be done with the "KIPI Remote Flickr Export Plugin". Picasaweb is a very simple to use service and it offers a free 1GB of storing (upgrade is possible with a subscription). Today, Google announced a new web service API for this service in which it is possible to add pictures: See http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/gdata.html#Add_Photo
(it is also possible through a call to "api/user/<name>?kind=album" to get a list of existing albums, etc.). Maybe it can be a starting point.

A good news is that the new feature of storing metadata in the picture itself (EXIF or IPTC) is already working very well with picasa (comments are imported and shown, even geo tags are recognized and can be connected to a call to google earth) so it should work for picasaweb comments as well..

Actually, "importing" pictures from picasaweb would be nice as well :-).

PS: 0.9 is a MAJOR great version ! Thx to Gilles and the rest of the team for such a wonderful tool !

Cheers,
Christophe.

Ooops! I have searched into the _digikam_ bug database but not the _kipiplugins_ one! Silly me! So it seems that mine is actually a duplicate of this one:
Bug#134039 ( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134039 ). Sorry about that.
I could add my comments to it (with links to the APIs) is necessary..(?).

Yes. Please tag this file like duplicate and comments at the right place.

Actually, Colin Guthrie work on a new plugin witch will group all web export functionalities. Into svn, the plugin is at "kipi-plugins/sync". It's under development...

Colin, if you have fresh remarks about it, please let's us hear...

Gilles

Other than me keeping up the development pace of a stoned sloth, there is nothing much to report.

Things have been hectic for me at work recently (sold a company - starting a new one!) but things are beginning to settle now and hopefully I'll have more time shortly (after I've moved house!!!). 

Gotta keep busy!! :p
