Album access not really private #3

Open nono313 opened 10 years ago

Hi, A few months ago, I discovered your software and used it to synchronize most of my picture with my picasaweb account. At this time, all albums were uploaded as "private", meaning "no sharing". After a new installation of my computer, I re-downloaded your software with the latest version and now, when I upload an album (or even if the album already exists), it changes its access properties to "share privately", meaning "available to anyone with link to the album".

Is there a ways to go back to the really private setting ? Is it something that was changed in the lastest version of picasawebsync or is it the API that changed ?

Thanks for your answer and thank you for your work.

No, this was not intentionally changed but it looks like there was a change to the Google API in this area. I think they are trying to get people to share more photos and made the privacy less aggressive in the API. I will try to figure it out and update the app but it probably won't be for a week or two before I get to it.
