please try the new version and restore the default settings

Done, but still the same error. I guess the new version is 0.0.4

no it should be 0.0.5

I'm still downloading 0.4 from the link http://www.da-tom.com/xbmc/plugin.image....esktop.zip
Maybe you could e-mail me the zip file to

Still no luck. I've seen that the files in the zip file are newer, but the addon is still saying version 0.0.4 and is not working. Before installing, I have de-installed the old version and also deleted the user data...

hi datom, your addon ist working very well on my W7-PC and i love it.
Is it possible to install this adon also on the ATV2? How can i do that?
Thanks for answers.
regards

Hey datom,

Thx for the update! Didn't see it untill now.... my bad :confused2:

I'm running it on:
- XBMC: OpenELEC version (11.0 Beta2 build jan 29 2012)
- Win 7
- Picasa 3.8.0

Problem is now that it says "only default location currently supported"

I would love for this to work because of the same reasons you've described:
click to create albums in picasa and watch it on my tv

Hope you can help me out!
Thx, LoL
