picasa_plucker

DESCRIPTION:

PicasaPlucker downloads all images from a Picasa web album.

Your friends use Picasa (picasaweb.google.com) but you don’t, so you can’t easily download all the images in their albums? PicasaPlucker fixes that.

PicasaPlucker takes the URL of someone’s Picasa album, and downloads all the original images into your local machine. You can then import them to your favourite images application (iPhoto, etc).

USAGE:

cd Photos
picasa_plucker "<url>"

For example:

picasa_plucker http://picasaweb.google.com/drnicwilliams/BanjoWilliamsBirth#

This creates a nested folder (user/album, e.g. drnicwilliams/BanjoWilliamsBirth) in the current folder in which the images are stored.

INSTALL:

  • sudo gem install picasa_plucker

REQUIREMENTS:

  • curl

  • rubygems: hpricot, ruby-progressbar (installed automatically via ‘gem’ command above)
