Why No Picasa Plugin API?
It’s a little odd that in this day and age of Web 2.0 and plug-everything-into-everything-else Picasa doesn’t have a plugin API. What’s the story with that?
Inspired by Matt Croydon’s Backing up Flickr Photos with Amazon S3 post, I figured I’d automate the whole process: from Picasa upload all new photos to S3 for backup, and the ones with a special tag, or keyword as Picasa calls them, to flickr. The flickr part is incredibly simple, as Matt shows. The S3 part is relatively simple. Picasa? No way to connect to it. Shame, shame. Reason enough to dump Picasa, perhaps. Any good alternatives out there?
oh heck. gimp?
don’t mind me
I wish there were. Picasa is my favorite alternative to Photoshop, but it doesn’t play nicely with my Flickr account. Argh. Get on the ball, Google.
hey, just got here by my google “picasa plugin” search
Because I just noticed there is a “plugin” subdir in the picasa installation dir. I found some photoshop template (? don’t have photoshop so couldn’t check) and some executable code in the form of a “.yti” file. I guess they have some kind of plugin api but probably not public.
It seems that nobody has tried to make use of that yet..
Check out http://www.tabblo.com, they have a Picasa extension. You can upload your pics from Picasa to their site. Integration is smoothly. If they can do it, Yahoo should be able as well (or somebody else).
nope: someone will do it. (flickr is yahoo… still, google could do it.)
however, I have a “flickr grap” javascript:
1) on any web page, you click the flickr grap book mark
that creates another page with ALL the pictures extracted from the web page
2) you left click on any image and voila: you can upload it right from there to flickr! fabulous! mac and pc.
What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the
front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or
a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
Thanks.
I agree, I am currently using flickr free account (which I refuse to pay a pro) along with tons of flickr-api project I found online to integrate into my blogger. Only if Picasaweb have the same option, I would be more than happy to switch over (hello 1 G of photo)
and the standard 1 photo/1post that comes with Picasa to Blogger is just so Web 0.01, argh.
yeah - why no API?
I’d like to see gimp effects plugins work w/ picasa
If you want a plugin for Wordpress thats uses the API from Google Picasa, then have a look at my blog; I’ve created something like that.

hey,
I had the same problem, I wanted to use a blog tool like Windows Live Writer and wrote my own picasa plugin for it. With it you can create and upload images to Picasa and link and insert them with a double click in the blog editor.
Some screenshots are available at: http://mischimann.blogspot.com. I want to add some more features, but if you’re interested in that plugin, feel free to contact me. Mailto:mischi@omanno.de

This apparantly adds a button in Picasa to upload images to a flickr account. Haven’t looked in detail.
did you try this http://www.spicyexpress.net/general/meyshan-slide-the-ultimate-free-open-source-slideshow-for-your-web-site/ which used picasa to give slideshow for your website, with the photos stored in riya, flickr and picasa ?
“Your client application can request a list of a user’s albums, photos, comments, or tags, edit or delete content in an existing entry, and query the content in an existing entry.”

Hope this is useful for everyone.
I created a little macro to display picasa albums in my dasBlog website.

Hi,
Can anyone build a plugin for me? We have a photo book website. We want to distribute a plugin to our customers such that they can automatically upload photos from PICASA, Flickr, iPhoto to our website for ordering Photo Books.

If you are looking for a plugin to integrate Picasa into Google you may want to try mine: http://bogde.ro/computers/picasa-lightbox.htm
It allows the users to easily insert Picasa photos into their posts or pages.
Comments are highly appreciated.
Hi Guys,
Anyone know HOW to Insert Picasa pics into Outlook Express emails, it would sure help to find out.
Thank you much.

IF facebook can release a pluging for picasa ages ago, how hard can it be?
IT works seamlessly, very quickly, handles bulk transfers and does it every time.
Why is everyone else so slow?
