New in Picasa Downloader 41446 (May 19, 2010)
- Replaced some exception messages by a Summary dialog shown after downloading if there have been problems.
- (Auto) Incremented the build of the executable.
- Fixed workitem 10296 (Saving at resolutions above 1600px),
- Added experimental support for a modifier of the image download url (insert a d/ before the filename).
- Added ctrl-click detection to the download button to activate above feature.
- Added a tooltip to the download button.
- Repaired a minor bug in the Abort option (Escape Key).
- Added some debugging output for the experimental feature.
- Stored the modifier in the ini file. (if not "d/" it can be found in the download button of picasa when viewing a single photo.
- Made sure the download directory path alsways ends in a pathdelimiter.
- Fixed a small typo in the English Translation (orginal -> original). Also see the note below!
- Autocompletion for UserId field.
- Abort Option (press Esc during downloads and PicasaDownloader will stop after the current image has finished).
- A brand new translation option that even allows end-users to translate the default (en-US) text. Translations are saved as resources files in
- \appdata\PicasaDownloader.
- The translation is assisted by Google Translate if the Language is supported (request Chazuba).
- Layout has changed slightly (request labarks).
- Change download path (Right Click the Open Download Directory link).
- NOTE:
- Due to the change in translation ("Orginal Name" changed to "Original
- Name") the naming pattern might fail if it was stored in the ini file (or was translated). If this happens when the filenames all become equal to the pattern itself ({Orginal Name}) and only a single misnamed file will show up after a download. To fix this, either correct the pattern in the setup dialog or delete "Pattern" line in the ini file located at \appdata \PicasaDownloader\PicasaDownloader.ini.

- A setup button has arrived with a single function to control the file naming of download images. One can use up to four (case insensitive) pattern items:
- {OrginalName}
- {Number}
- {Id}
- {Owner}
- PicasaDownloader still defaults to the Original Picasa Filename.
- Example:
- A Pattern of "{Number} - {OriginalName}" will make sure the photo's are in album order when sorted, and filenames are unique within one album.
- Note: _This version created some new depenencies. As it's getting harder to test the portable version (running out of fresh machines) and the method used is rather new to me, let me know thru an Issue if you have any problems starting it.
