iPhoto 11 and upload to Picasa web albums

The links are down for me, where you could download the plug-in . . .

Which plugin?

This worked for me. http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22392/picasa-web-albums-uploaders I really didn't think it would but it's uploading right now. iPhoto '11

That worked for me, thx a lot! 🙂

Unfortunately, that plugin at Macupdate is no longer being developed. Google pulled the plug. I'm pretty close to moving on from Picasaweb, but I don't really want to. Anyone know of any other tools that can, preferably, bulk upload events in a one album per event format to picasaweb?

It not being developed but it still works. Maybe if it stops working they'll come out with a new version.

Thanks Distearth,

This totally worked. I cant believe it has taken me this long to find the correct plugin for such a simple thing.

10.7.5 & iphoto 11 finally work with picasa web.

Thank you so much for posting that, I've been wanting to get this to work for ages and you've solved the problem for me, seamless! 🙂

Same experience here, a breakthrough! 🙂

When I read what you'd posted I didn't think it would work either, but it did! 10.7.5 and iPhoto11 9.4.2 here also. Thanks again! 🙂

Thankfully the plugin solution works. I have been an enormous Apple fan for the last 5 years, but I am getting increasingly disappointed about the way Apple is heading. It is not putting the customer central but its own eco system, with too many restrictions on its hard and software. For (amateur) photographers who rely on Apple, life certainly has not become easier of late. Okay, MobileMe was not great, but at least it was easy to put my photo albums online (iCloud has nothing much to offer other than photostream). Okay, now I can export to Facebook and Flickr from iPhoto, but why not allow users to directly export to Picasa and other popular cloud solutions? Okay, it is now much easier to edit pictures on my iPad, but why did you have to put all kind of hard- and software restrictions on it and make a photographers life more difficult? Apple, in my opinion you are well on your way to becoming the next Microsoft with its vendor lockins and lack of innovation. All you seem to care about is pushing more iPhones and iPads. It really makes me sad. And the saddest thing is that there is no way in getting this message across, because you are not listening and cannot be reached in any way.

iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to the Apple Developers. That's how you reach them, so don't despair. I'm sure they'll love to hear what you have to say. Here you're just talking to other users.

But remember that iPhoto offers built-in uploading to Flickr and Facebook. There is nothing to stop Google from making a plug-in to do the same job. Oh look they did! Perhaps you need to ask yourself why Google have not updated that in several years. Or why they make it so hard to find? I wonder if it might be because Google want you to use their app and not Apple's, or Adobe's or anybody elses.

And you can directly export to Picasa and other cloud solutions. The iPhoto Library is available in every single upload/attach/open dialogue in the entire OS.

Other "popular cloud solutions" create and maintain plug-ins for iPhoto.

Lastly, there is no lock-in. iPhoto is not required. You don't have to use it. It's an opportunity, no more. If something else has the features that you prefer you're perfectly free to use that application.

Just thought I'd mention that before you share your thoughts with Apple.

For what it's worth, I agree with Vlakjetserthink and think that Apple really dropped the ball when it did away with MobileMe photo galleries. Flickr just isn't very user friendly, and Facebook -- well, that's for discussion another time. Except for perhaps SmugMug, there really isn't a good third-party alternative to the MobileMe galleries (which handled photos and video) -- and Google is transitioning Picasa Web to Google+.

iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

I use more direct channels ;-)
