Whar does it offer?

  • It is easy and quick in usage. Just one click and all your Picasa albums will be moved to your FW Gallery. You can import images to the galleries that already exist or create new ones with the same names.
  • It saves names of galleries. You don't need to write names of every album again after importing.
  • It saves names of images. Every image imported from your Picasa album already has the same name.

 

Picasa Import Plugin currently does not do:

  • export FW Gallery albums to Picasa ones
  • import images with comments
  • import albums that are locked to public
  • work without FW Gallery

If you haven't found the reply to your question below, please contact us via FW Premium Support or contact us page.

1. I have installed the plugin successfully but I can't find the plugin in FW Gallery Plugins section. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure that you have enabled the plugin. You check this here: Extensions > Plugin  Manager.

***

2. I have followed all the steps you described but can't see my Picasa galleries in the plugin drop-down list. What am I doing wrong?

Please note that Import Plugin allows you to import only albums that are public. It means that you need to make your hidden albums public at least for the moment of import. Then import them and that's it.

3. What should I enter in the field Gallery username?

Please enter your username used when registered on https://picasaweb.google.com.
