Vardhman, Are you few comments about this file ? Gilles I could verify that new album issue. My guess is that the list of Albums returned by the server doesn't list empty albums or there might be issue in the way I parse the returned data. As far as uploading the photos is concerned I have tried uploading the photos many times but all my trial used login for picasaweb.google.com, I can't immediately think if the .com and .de may be working differently.

Well after all I have no choice of selecting where the plugin does connect to (.com or .de). Perhaps this causes the trouble. On the other hand I tried to logon to picasaweb.google.com with my browser which worked fine for me. I had no problems uploading a photo via the picasa webinterface using http://picasaweb.google.com . I just tried to export another photo on my suse10.3 system and again the progress bar does not show any progress. Using netstat --inet I see that there is a connection: bliss:~ # netstat --inet -n Active Internet connections (w/o servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 141.26.64.65:38409 209.85.167.91:80 TIME_WAIT I tried to telnet this host on port 80 and entered a get: # telnet 209.85.167.91 80 Connected to 209.85.167.91. Escape character is '^]'. get <html><head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"> <title>400 Bad Request</title> <style><!-- ... So the connection works but the plugins connection remains in TIME_WAIT status. Strange. Rainer I had another idea to track the bug. Perhaps this info helps to isolate the problem. I started a photo upload and used wireshark to show whats going on. The host where data were uploaded to is 72.14.255.91 (td-in-f91.google.com). Using the follow tcp stream Method in wireshark I can see the following: ------start -------------------------------------------------------------------- POST /data/feed/api/user/krienke@uni-koblenz.de/album/Test HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Pragma: no-cache Cache-control: no-cache Accept: text/html, image/jpeg, image/png, text/*, image/*, */* Accept-Encoding: x-gzip, x-deflate, gzip, deflate Accept-Charset: iso-8859-15, utf-8;q=0.5, *;q=0.5 Accept-Language: de, en Host: www.picasaweb.google.com Cookie: rememberme=false; PREF=ID=b0045a98edc4465c:TM=1185257727:LM=1185257727:S=sUkSdTkFUMEGk0Ul Authorization: GoogleLogin auth= Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary=----------rcL6ZwtjEeQEUrxtcTZ8hC1MaxC2ITI73bBcX5KkjkyBat4AMdI1pIN Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Length: 134960 ------------rcL6ZwtjEeQEUrxtcTZ8hC1MaxC2ITI73bBcX5KkjkyBat4AMdI1pIN Content-Disposition: form-data; name="test" Content-Type: application/atom+xml Mime-version: 1.0 Content-Length: 207 <entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'><title>dsc_3256.jpg</title><summary></summary><category scheme="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind" term="http://schemas.google.com/photos/2007#photo" /></entry> ------------rcL6ZwtjEeQEUrxtcTZ8hC1MaxC2ITI73bBcX5KkjkyBat4AMdI1pIN Content-Disposition: form-data; name="photo"; filename="dsc_3256.jpg" Content-Length: 134295 Content-Type: image/jpeg ......JFIF..............Exif..MM.*..... ................... .........................................(...........1..... .....2.......................i..............NIKON CORPORATION.NIKON D80....,.......,....Ver.1.01 .2007:10:22 15:12:34. .... <more binary data> .... ------------rcL6ZwtjEeQEUrxtcTZ8hC1MaxC2ITI73bBcX5KkjkyBat4AMdI1pIN--HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Content-Type: text/plain Content-Encoding: gzip Transfer-Encoding: chunked Cache-control: private, must-revalidate, max-age=0 Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2007 12:58:10 GMT Server: GFE/1.3 Connection: Close ------end--------------------------------------------------------- So the photo (from my D80) is transferred until the http server repots an error.

Rainer Hey Krienke, Thanks for helping on isolating the bug, sorry for the delay in response. I was on vacation. I guess I am understanding the problem now. Just a few things I want to verify from you (inlined below): > ------start > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > POST /data/feed/api/user/krienke uni-koblenz de/album/Test HTTP/1.1 > The string after user/ and before /album is username for this particular url the username appears to be "krienke uni-koblenz de" which is a string with atlesast 2 spaces and a '-', If I am not wrong this doesn't hold as a valid user name. A user name is your google account name or your gmail id. So what I want to ask you here is that 1) Did you give your gmail id for the username field ? 2) Was the software able to fetch a list of albums for you given login ? These two answers will greatly help me in understanding the problem better. regards Vardhman Hey Krienke,<br><br>Thanks for helping on isolating the bug, sorry for the delay in response.

When I start the picasa export plugin I am asked for the username and the name thats shown is correct. This time I also tried to click on "Change user" and then entered my picasa username again but this did not change a thing. Before this I created a new album in picasa using the picasa web interface. After I started the export-plugin it immedeately showed this new album. Next I again tried to uplad a photo but this simply hangs, nothing happens. Next I closed the export plugin reopened it and tried to create a new album. There is no error message when I say "Create" but the new album is not created when I look at my albums in the web interface nor is it shown in the export plugin after a "reload abums". Here ist a snapshot how the picasa export window looks like when uploading a photo just as an info: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~krienke/tmp/picasaexport.jpg Thanks Rainer Krienke The same problem is with kipi plugins version 0.1.5-rc1. The way to omit this problem is to prepare new album in picasa web interface. The album name cannot contain any spaces. In case some album names contain spaces the plugin cannot fetch album names from serwer (the "Not feteched" info is displaed in the album names list instead of actual names). Lets vote for this bug to increase the possibility that developers will take it serious and check it in order to confirm. The one thing is quite strange for me. I compared source files of kipi plugins 0.1.5-rc1 with 0.1.5beta1 (subdirectory oicassawebexport). The only files which are different in two versions are: Makefile, kipiplugin_picasawebexport.desktop and *.moc files). The sources *.c and headers *.h are identical, but some kind of regression is visible: Before, I used 0.1.5beta1, compiled from sources, under opensuse 10.3 i586. The export worked propoely except for album names and album creation. I had to create album by www picasa interface (in web browser) and the name couldn't include any spaces. After all the plugin fetched album names and could export photos. Now I use 0.1.5-rc1, also compiled from sources, with the same version of digikam 0.9.3 (installed from rpm) under opensuse 10.3 but now x64 version. The plugin cannot fetch album names nor can upload photos. Even if I select one (any) from album names list, the upload stalls at 0%. I suppose that there may be some changes in API on the Google side. I think I should install again older kipi plugins 0.1.5beta1 and test it. The one thing is quite strange for me.

sorry for duplicated comment :) Am Freitag, 25.

Because of your experience and what I saw with my friend it could be that google simply change part of the protocol. Using 1.5.1-beta1 I am still unable to upload images and now even folders appear always as "Not fetched". Some time ago at least the folders were shown with their name. For me it does not help to create an album (without any space or special character in the web frontend of picasa. When I try to upload a photo the process still hangs.

According to NEWS file nothing has been released concerning Picasa export plugin,
sorry.
Hi all, I try to use picasawebuploader plugin and it does not work for me, I try to fix next functionality: 1. Display gallery list (it does not work for me in some cases) 2. In gallery list display all galleryes, instead public only 3. Uploading files to galley, that name contained from two or more latin words or from one or more Russian (try for Russian and English only) words. My patch: http://hatred.homelinux.net/~hatred/picasawebexport_patch.diff Sorry for big size, my editor reformat files on saving. Patch is based on 0.1.5rc2. Created attachment 24540 [details]

QObject errors seen on console during failed export from Digikam to Picasa
Testing with 0.9.4-beta5:
- Picasa export doesn't work. Unable to list albums.
- lots of errors reported on the console - one example below, others in
attached document.

*** Bug 157148 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** To Tauri, #19: i have already fixed all broken signal/slots connections to svn. Are you use a fresh checkout of svn code. Also, i recommend to clean-up preview compilations using 'make clean'. Gilles Caulier *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** Does someone use this plugin with success with latest svn version (kipi + digikam) ? For me, when starting the upload, I have a stalled progress bar and no pictures get uploaded... I have used the same and works quite well for me. to verify I just uploaded a photo again. My digikam version: 0.9.4 Kipi library version: 0.1.6. To understand the reason behind failure in you case, it would be great if you launch the application from console and cut paste the logs (if compiled in debug mode). If its possible for you to help by tracing the problem using one of the network traffic monitoring tools like ethereal or tcpdump it would be great too. BTW while verifying this bug I found that the plugin doesn't indicate the login failure problem and shows the upload screen active even if you enter wrong password. This is a new bug, I will try to put the patch asap.

I have found that if I create or change a album on the Picassa site to be public vs. private I can load those folders in the list. And while it takes a while to upload the photo ( due to compression?) it will upload to a public gallery. I have also discovered that if a Picassa folder has spaces and is public it will show in the list but the upload will fail. If you remove the spaces and leave it public the upload will complete. So at least a work around is to create a public folder with no spaces in the name and upload. If you desire to keep it private vs. public you will need to go into the web album and change properties. While not technical I hope this helps the devs. This is really such a shining example of a great Linux/KDE app, I enjoy it far better than Picassa and at least can now use it again. I'm sure one day this will be fixed. Hey Dragon, Based on your detailed explanation, I have just fixed the bug related to spaces in album names. Strangely the fix for the listing of private albums has been done quite long back ~2 months at least, I am not sure if the version of yours is older than that. If someone can test the feature on the latest SVN checkout, and give a feedback, I would promise a quick turnaround :) i discovered an interesting thing : when i first used picasaweb i create a count with : id : <name>@free.fr password : <my password> then later with my google count i activated and explored the google tool gmail then google created a new mail address <first name>.<last name>@gmail.com i don't use gmail address and i don't use it to connect to google i use picasaweb and picasa soft with id : <name>@free.fr password : <my password> this works well now what happens with picasawebexport ? if i use id : <name>@free.fr password : <my password> picaswebexport does not list my album and freeze or crash if use "start uploading" if i use id : <first name>.<last name>@gmail.com pwd : <password2> picasawebexport lists all my albums and i can upload a photo but not a video |
