Only Thumbnail Size Images Are Downloaded #11

Open lahdekorpi opened 11 years ago

Only small images (512px) are downloaded, instead of the original ones. I've got 1.74GB of pictures in Picasa and only 94MB were downloaded. All of the albums and images are there, they are just small.

Is there any way to fix the code so that it would download the original files instead?

Hi,

there's been a change on the google REST API for picasa which is not updated in the googlecl library which picasasync uses to access the service:

The fix is easy, just append imgmax=d to the parameters when requesting the albums. Unfortunately I don't have time to work on this at the moment.

If you want to build your own googlecl library this is the patch you need to apply:

Wouldn't that just download the largest available, yet packed version. Instead of the original one?
