I wrote a Ruby script for downloading all the photos in Picasa Web albums, grouped by album. This gets the original photos, not 1600×1200 thumbnails.

well – after coming back to try to use this, i found an issue. If pics are loaded in the album that are greater than 1600×1200, this trick only gets you a downsized 1600×1200 version. Worse than that, the EXIF data is stripped from those downsized versions. So, while this works in a pinch, it still has some some serious drawbacks as far as I can tell. I’ve tried some of the other tools out there, but none of them seem to work. Apart from Picasa itself of course, but i can’t stand that piece of software, so I ain’t touchin’ it.

Thank you very much for this nice tip. What I appreciate the most, is the simplicity of the explanation. I’m not very good in english and sometimes i dont really understand tutorials but yours is easy and simple.

You just saved me a lot of time!
