Add Support for using Google Photos not in albums #15

I am the developer of this extension. Many users want to use all their photos without putting them into albums.

I have investigated this thoroughly, and I know it is hard to believe, but Google does not currently provide a way to get a list of all your photos. The best it can do is get some of your recent photos, up to 1000, but often times less.

To be honest, the API that Google provides to developers like me is years old and based on Picasa. It is the crappiest piece of crap in craptown. :)

Hopefully, they will provide a proper API for Google Photos someday.
