[Steffen Neumann]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217991

           Summary: Import albums from Picasa
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Hi,

For people willing to migrate from Picasa, DigiKam should (at least)
import the album definitions. Picasa has those *.pal files,
which hold some XML about the albums and pictures, see below for an example.

Yours,
Steffen

Voting is in the header where it says "Importance: NOR wishlist with 20 votes
(vote)"

This should also recognize Picasa's originals and create version stacks.

--- Comment #4 from Adrien Cordonnier <[hidden email]> ---
According to [1], Picasa album information is in .picasa.ini files starting
from Picasa 3.9. [2] also gives the former filename for Windows: picasa.ini.

A description of Picasa .ini file format can be found in [3] for Picasa 3.8.0.

A similar bug report exists for Shotwell [4].

PicFace is an open source program which write Picasa information inside picture
files [5]. A page from its wiki explains what the face data structure read from
.picasa.ini files and from contacts.xml.
