Google Picasa offers online photo hosting capabilities in the form of Picasa Web Albums. Picasa users can upload photos from their local computer systems to the photo hosting servers that can then be shared with friends, family or even everyone by setting the viewing rights to public. Even guests are then able to view and download these photos from Picasa Web Albums to their computers.
Downloading photos manually from Picasa takes time and users who would like to download complete Picasa Web Albums can use the Picasa Downloader to do so to speed up the process tremendously. The program will display all public photo albums of a Picasa user in its interface with the option to download individual albums with all containing photos to the local hard drive.
The user id of each Picasa user that is sharing a public Picasa Web Album is visible in the url structure of the album url making it very easy to copy that user id into the application to retrieve all photo albums from that Picasa user.
A click on the list button will retrieve all the albums of the Picasa user id that has been entered by the computer user. The photo albums will be listed by the program with their album id and album title. A single or multiple web albums can be selected and a click on Download will start the download of all selected photo albums and photos to the hard drive.
Picasa Downloader requires the Microsoft .net Framework and is available at the Google Code project page.
