Hi mistic100,
Does import from Picasa Web Albums automatically syncs metadata?
Offline
which metadatas ?
I only add fields provided by Google API (name, dat_creation, author, description, tags)
if add_uploaded_file() doesn't sync file metadatas, I don't
Offline
add_uploaded_file performs a sync_metadata(array($image_id));
The missing data is date_creation.
Doesn't Google2Piwigo overwrites the "metadata synced" date_creation with an empty date?
Offline
I Google API returns an empty string and you checked the checkbox, yes
Offline
wait, do you use the published version or the SVN version ?
because I corrected a bug in [Subversion] r19834
Offline
I was using the published version and now I have applied the change introduced on [Subversion] r19834
Offline
With the change it's fine! Thank you mistic100 (maybe you can publish a new version if you have no other changes under test)

Is there a way for the plugin to preserve the original filename of the picture instead of having something like picasa-5668378322182782962.JPG?
Offline
I'm not even sure Google API returns something which can be a filename (without special chars)
Offline
Well,
If I import a bunch of pictures from a picasaweb album, the title of each picture IS the original filename, minus the file extension. Example : IMG_2820.
However, if I clic on that picture in Piwigo, under the picture in the information section, I get "File
picasa-5668378321426654930.JPG".
So, the filename information is available somewhere since it got translated as picture title...
Offline
but if you rename photo title on Picasa ?
The field I get is "$photoEntry->mediagroup->title->text", it's clearly the title, not the filename
Offline
So, I guess it just happens that my pictures are titled after the file name of the actual files.
When I click on "download" next to a picture in a picasaweb album, the original file name is shown in the save dialog. Maybe this information is not available through the google api you are using for your plugin?

I said "I'm not even sure" ;-)
I'll check in the end of the week
Offline
I don't find where we can change photo name in Google Plus, perhaps it's nor possible anymore
anyway I use the filename to detect already imported photos so I can't really save the original filename
