Issue Summary
Decided to test this out just for kicks and I'm impressed with it so far.
It would be super handy if we could import many picasa albums simultaneously, instead of only being able to choose one to import at a time.
On a similar vein...I've used Views to create a node that shows all albums, but would like something that is in "sync" with my whole picasa setup, rather than having to take the extra step of importing each time I upload to picasa.
Keep up the good work!

Hi ... glad you like it so far. The problem that I see initially with keeping the albums in synch is that I used the GoogleAuth mechanism requiring the user to authenticate with Google and give permission to the website running this module to pull down an album and photos. The way this works is by getting a token from google that is only valid for a limited time. The security steps involved to allow a continuous connection between the web application and the users google account are significantly involved and require server modifications. The current security mechanism allows for the module to be installed on any website without server steps. I don't know of an easy way to manage the synchronization task that your describing so for now am not going to work it into the module.
I agree it would be useful to import multiple albums and consider that a request that can be implemented.
