for the path separator i use the python os.. function (for future unix support) . so it should be work.
ok send me the changes and i add these to the addon. thanks for your help
one more think,
if you run xbmc in wine, so xbmc should be identify the sys as "win" an the platform tag "win" should be work right? its a little bit weird

You are using the os separation function in the path concat but not in the substitution of the paths in the filename inside the .pal file
(the section
for filenode in dom.getElementsByTagName("filename"):
in the album_metadata(self, album_id): function)
I have two xbmc instances:
-one running over ubuntu in the same system that the picasa
- Second running in a htpc in the living room, is a live-stand alone instalation (linux based).
The picasa app, runs under wine in the ubuntu installation.
My photos are stored in a NAS. The NAS units are mounted in both systems under /media/Volume1 and /media/Volume2 (the same for both system.
I have to check it well because Picasa generates strange paths under wine.
I was thinking on using some kind of path conversion defined by the user as a properties to translate between local path to picasa and local paths to xbmc for the cases where the photos are stored in a network location like a NAS

Hi, this addon sounds very interesting to me, but I don't manage to make it work. I have Dharma 10.1 running on Win7 SP1 and Picasa 3.8. If I run the addon I get the message "Script failed". I have then set the addon path to the "Picasa2album" folder (where I have the folder with the long name with the .pal files inside), and I still get the same error.
Any idea on what's the reason?
Thanks in advance!

hi gbia,
im back from my holidays and i try the next days to find your problem
- gbia - 2011-07-04 14:53
Thanks a lot!
Giorgio

i think the problem is in your settings. if you use an absolut path with "local" setting runs in to that error
in your case you have to set the path to:
C:\Users\giorgio\AppData\Local\
the folder "Google/Picasa2Albums" adds the addon self
i uploaded a new version with an updated settings dialog. so its easier to understand to how the config works
- gbia - 2011-07-06 15:30
I have changed the path as you suggest but I get the same error.
I have also re-downloadad from http://www.da-tom.com/xbmc/plugin.image.picasa-desktop.zip, but it is still the same version and same dialog box.
Sorry...
- datom - 2011-07-06 15:47
oh sorry, i uploaded the file in the wrong directory
now it should be work
- gbia - 2011-07-08 06:45
I have downloaded the new version but still no success, whatever path I inset...
- datom - 2011-07-11 20:38
please post the new debug log and your settings so i can traceback the error
