Public bug reported:
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.
Cause: I am using a non-gmail email address to log on to Google. This
used to work, but something - presumably Google - has changed this.
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.
Anyway, not exactly a bug, but hopefully a report that lets Shotwell
become even better.
Shotwell version 0.13.0-0ubuntu3, on Ubuntu 12.10, 64bit.
