[Bug 1080591] Re: shotwell fails to authenticate with non-primary address

 

Thanks Ketil, as no-one else confirmed the bug I'll close it by marking
"Invalid" which is saying that the *report* itself is now invalid not
that you didn't experience a problem.

Title:
  shotwell fails to authenticate with non-primary address

Bug description:
  I am trying to export some pictures from Shotwell to my Picasa
  account.  I select Picasa from the "publish" list, and push the button
  to authenticate.  I am asked for password, which I enter.  I am then
  told that "Authentication failed".  Subsequent attempts go directly to
  "Authentication failed", and there is no apparent way to enter the
  password again.

  (I thought this was due to me logging in with a non-gmail address, and
  it seemed to work when I changed to the gmail one, but now it fails
  again)

  Further suggestions:

  1) Shotwell should be more informative about the Authentication
  Failure, and report what exactly is wrong.  I thought I had mistyped
  the password, and then it's frustrating not to be offered the
  opportunity to retype it.

  2) The login dialog should offer a direct link or pointer to the
  accounts settings, now I need to select "Add an account" from the drop
  down.

  3) Incidentally, removing accounts doesn't work, in the end I had to
  disable two (non-working) instances of Google account configurations.

  
  Shotwell version 0.13.0-0ubuntu3, on Ubuntu 12.10, 64bit.
