Hi,

I hope I've chosen the right bugzilla components.

In its current implementation, the "Import from Picasa/Google" feature only
gives a listing of the available albums. It does not give any idea about the
contents of the album.

My Feature Request is that, it would be nice to have a widget show the picasa
web albums and their contents, along with thumbnails.

You could have this as an optional secondary feature. THis will allow users to
decide what all pics they'd want to download. Otherwise, it is a "Catch All"
implementation currently. And with Videos (auto) backed up, this becomes a
sheer waste of network resources.

Take another example: Google Picasaweb has an Album called "Auto Backup", where
it backs up all pictures taken over your Google a/c. WHen importing with
Digikam, the entire "Auto Backup" contents will be imported. Where as, with the
requested Feature, users will have a choice to look and decide what all they
want to import.
