Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducable with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Gutsy Gibbon. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Closing it for now since no more information has been provided, feel free to re open it if you may give us the information we asked for, thanks!.

I think this should be re-opened. It sounds like this may be the same thing I just experienced recently using the current Hardy F-Spot version, 0.4.3.1.

I believe that the problem has something to do with attempting to click "Add" when using a PicasaWeb account that has no galleries defined. It's understandable why the developer would've missed this, since I'm sure he had plenty of galleries defined during development.

But I'm reasonably certain that it could be duplicated by removing all galleries from the test account and trying the import. It's probably a simple null pointer deal or empty array that's assumed to have one entry, etc.

[John Lawler (z-launchpad-net-tgice-com)]

Never mind on this one, I just read the user was reporting a problem with "Web Gallery". I'm talking about PicasaWeb export. I suppose they may be related, but I'm going to assume not.

I think this bug is a bit closer:
