hangs on Picasa storage init (wizard)

I cannot reproduce this.
Did you choose an existing empty album? And where did you get the album ID from?

Hm, i just wrote a string (non-existant album). Seem like the cause of this
problem.

You gotta take the actual album ID (which is not easy to get...):
- Create an album in Picasa Web Albums
- Browse to the album
- Click on the "RSS" link on the right side

You'll see a link like this:
https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/USERNAME/albumid/ALBUMID?...

The ALBUMID is what you have to copy in the text field.

Yea, got it.

PS. Wouldn't be nice to see list of all albums or let user create a blank
one., which will be used? The wizard already has the credentials...

...

That certainly would be nice. The Picasa plugin is at the moment more
like a proof-of-concept implementation, so it's not complete or
user-friendly.

Another problem I recently discovered is that an album can only hold
1000 pictures, so we'll have to extend the plugin so that it can work
with more than one album...

Feel free to implement it :-D
