Title:
shotwell fails to authenticate with non-primary address
Status in “gnome-control-center-signon” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “shotwell” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I am trying to export some pictures from Shotwell to my Picasa
account. I select Picasa from the "publish" list, and push the button
to authenticate. I am asked for password, which I enter. I am then
told that "Authentication failed". Subsequent attempts go directly to
"Authentication failed", and there is no apparent way to enter the
password again.
(I thought this was due to me logging in with a non-gmail address, and
it seemed to work when I changed to the gmail one, but now it fails
again)
Further suggestions:
1) Shotwell should be more informative about the Authentication
Failure, and report what exactly is wrong. I thought I had mistyped
the password, and then it's frustrating not to be offered the
opportunity to retype it.
2) The login dialog should offer a direct link or pointer to the
accounts settings, now I need to select "Add an account" from the drop
down.
3) Incidentally, removing accounts doesn't work, in the end I had to
disable two (non-working) instances of Google account configurations.
Shotwell version 0.13.0-0ubuntu3, on Ubuntu 12.10, 64bit.
