The export to Picasaweb fails but without any reason why. If I click Continue it fails again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select photo in gwenview 2. Plugins->Export->Picasaweb 3. Start Upload Actual Results: Dialog box appeared saying it had failed. Expected Results: Success. KDE 4.8.2.
Official Kipi-plugins 2.6.0 release is out since few days now : http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/656 Please, check if this entry still valid, or update report accordingly. Thanks in advance. Gilles Caulier
I get the same results in 2.6.0 (and 2.5.0). The error message is "Failed to upload photo into Picasaweb: Failed to upload photo Do you want to continue?" The response given by the Picasa server is "400 Bad Request" with the specific error "A title or Slug header is required". Logging in to Picasa and creating new folders work fine.
I found this after googling: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!msg/google-picasa-data-api/1mmT_9RuKnM/eB_pdkKfLUUJ "We recently made the server side validate the uploaded input in a more strict way. Upon first upload of a photo, we decided to insist on either a <title> element in the photo entry's meta data, or the special HTTP header "Slug". The reason is simply that parts of our web frontend are relying on a proper filename stored as the title of the photo." Right now, the title element sent by kipi-plugins is there, but empty.
I just tested with 2.6.0, and look into source code. Title info is given to PicasaWeb using filename and upload work fine here... My image do not have specific tag, comment, title and other metadata. What's are you using as upload settings ? What's metadata have your image in digiKam ? Gilles Caulier
I'm sorry, I should have said that I use KPhotoAlbum (4.2.0). For me, it kind of fails in digiKam, if I without selecting any picture (by starting in My Albums) go to the Export menu and select Picasaweb and add the pictures in that dialog by clicking the plus icon below the file list. Then, when uploading, I get the same error as described above. However, it works if I first select a picture in digiKam (but not in KPhotoAlbum) and then upload. So I am not sure where the bug actually is. Thanks for your support!
The problem with KPhotoAlbum is probably due to a missing implementation in KIPI interface from this application... Please report this problem to KPhotoAlbum team. About the file selection in digiKam, i will take a look... Gilles Caulier

Just a side not on this not-so-digikam bug: the error message for picasaweb (or any other upload plugin) should have a button to get more details and hints on why it's failing: - network - re-authentication - account quota - account limit (http://support.google.com/picasa/answer/43879?hl=en for number of albums, number of images in one album, ...) - bad submission/slut http answer - other better to create a new bug ?

It works here, I just have to enter my password every time (which, as I have two-step-authentication, is a big annoying issue so I have decided to just use the web upload for the time being)
