This script will download photos from the Picasa Web site based upon a query you give. This will download all files into the current working directory. If albums are downloaded (the default unless --kind is set to "photo"), subdirectories will be created for each album and the photos will be placed within those.
This is the Google username to use when logging in. This is generally a GMail address or another email address used to login to Google services.
This is the Google password to use when loggin in.
This is the kind of information to pull. There are two possible settings:
This is the default. If albums are pulled, each album found will cause a directory to be created in the current working directory. Then, all the photos in the album will be placed in that directory.
The matching photos will be pulled and saved into the current working directory.
This is the Google user ID to use to pull from.
If --kind is not given or is set to "album", then the default is to use the "default" user ID. This special identifier tells Google to pull for the currently authenticated user (which won't work if you're not authenticated, so specify --userid if you don't specify --username).
If --kind is set to "photo", then the default is not to set this at all, but to pull photos from the general picasa community. You may set this to "default" to user the logged username or a specific user ID.
This option allows you to specify arbitrary options on the Picasa Web query. To see a list of available options, check "STANDARD LIST OPTIONS" in Net::Google::PicasaWeb.
If given, no directories will be created and no files will be downloaded. The script will go through the process of describing what it would do if this option weren't set.
If given, the typical status output will be surpressed.
