Very nice. Thanks for looking into it. I'll try it out in a bit.

Worked perfectly! Great job.

just a little note. i would have called this "Picasaweb Addon". Picasa is a program for local storage as well

Well sure, that makes sense and all, but who wants to make sense?

Also when I first made this, as I recall, there was already a picasaweb script, and I probably didn't want it to be confused with that one. Yeah... that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Hi, I'm new here. I just installed a plugin and it works great!
But I want to see my pictures stored on my external hard disk same as I can see them in Picasa Viewer: fixed colours, dimensions, cuted or rotated...
Is it possible?

All of that is outside the scope of this addon, which I wrote to access Picasa web albums. You can of course view photos on an external HD natively with XBMC.

This addon is not likely to get any new features as I don't really use Picasa or Picasa Web. I just thought other people might like to access their Picasa web content from XBMC.

Absolutley the best addon ever - the reason to sign up at xbmc

Only one problem, I can't se pics that are larger then 2048pix (I have a paid Picasa account so it support fullsize 6000px jpgs).

Is there any easy way to change the settings in the addon/files to fix this?

You can't see the pictures at all or you can't see them at the higher resolution?
I don't have a paid account so I can't test this myself. I actually don't use Picasa Web Albums, I use flickr

I can see the thumbnails but no picture shows up if the image is larger then 2049 pixels. Smaller pictures works great.
BTW - maybe you can use bigger pics on Picasa, if you have a gmail account you always have at least 1GB for lager Pics. I tryed Flickr but think they have way to slow upload speed.

Any hints on where I can see if there is any max supported pixelsize in the addon?

The addon doesn't have any maximum supported size, but the picasaweb api may limit the size.
The api was returning pictures at a fairly low resolution, so I recently devised a kind of url hack to get higher res photos for viewing. Most likely that is what is causing the high res pictures not to display. I'll see if I can upload some high res photos and test it. It may be that I'll have to use the old fairly low res versions for the higher res photos if I can't get them to work using the current method.
