Google photos export - server replied: Bad Request

[Quinn Jensen]

Attempts to connect to google photos returns an error; used to work very well and was a vital part of my workflow (thank you!). Apparently google has changed or deprecated the API.

Error dialog (see attached screenshot):

"Error transferring https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/default - server replied: Bad Request"

Note: Google Drive export still works, but is an inadequate workaround.

Versions:

digikam:amd64/disco 4:5.9.0-1ubuntu3 uptodate
kipi-plugins:amd64/disco 4:5.9.0-1ubuntu3 uptodate
kipi-plugins-common:all/disco 4:5.9.0-1ubuntu3 uptodate

Obviously, the API deprecation is the problem.

"The Picasa Web Albums Data API has been shut down and is no longer available."

I see the google photo API has been updated in digikam 6.0.0. I'll try it.
