SUMMARY

Hi there,

On all 6.0 releases I tested, the pictures exported on google photo does not include the title setted on digikam.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Under digikam 6.0 beta (1, 2), define a title on a picture
2. Export it to google photo in an auto create folder
3. Open picture in google photo: picture does not have any description.

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT

Having the same title defined in digikam on google photos.

SOFTWARE VERSIONS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version:

The current Google API does not have the ability to add additional upload information (tags, titles, etc.) When I upload an image from the browser interface, the metadata is scanned and the title is displayed. If the same image is uploaded via the API (the metadata is included) the title will not be displayed. This error must be on the Google API side.

Hi Maik,

I was thinking it was a regression because it was working on 5.9.
If this is a coincidence, you can close the ticket.

Kind regards

DigiKam-5.9.0 use the Google Picasa Web API. But this API is outdated and could no longer create new albums. Now we're using the new (V1) Google Photo API, which has very few features right now. Creating albums is possible again, but updating photos is not possible etc.

Note: Google speaks of description and also uses the image description when uploading via the browser interface. If the image title is desired or a mixture of both, please open a separate bug report.
