I want to report a picasa bug. I'm using picasa 3.0.0.57.4402.0_beta. Based on other reports, I think this may affect Picasa versions dating back quite a while.
If I setup a watched folder with more than 31 subfolders, it only scans the first 31 it finds. Any more folders than that don't get added to the gallery. If I break up the folders so that any particular folder contains 31 or less subfolders, it scans the folders just fine and everything is added to picasa. As an example, this will only add the pictures from the oldest 31 folders: Watched folder: Pictures Subfolders: Pictures/2010-07, Pictures/2010-06, ..., Pictures/2009-12, Pictures/2009-11, ..., Pictures/2005-12, Pictures/2005-11 Any pictures 2008-06 or later won't be included in the gallery. However this folder structure will work perfectly: Watched folder: Pictures Subfolders: Pictures/2010/07, Pictures/2010/06, ..., Pictures/2009/12, Pictures/2009/11, ..., Pictures/2005/12, Pictures/2005/11 In the above directory structure, all pictures included in the gallery. I assume this also affects the windows version. Based on the limit of 31, I assume that someone at google needs to fix the code or database file to use something a lot bigger than a 5-bit integer. Another workaround is to put each un-gallerized folder into the watched folder list. Of course, that makes your watched folder list pretty big and clunky. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
