I was hesitating building and testing against master because I was afraid
maybe the DB schema would have changed and would make my photos.db *not*
work anymore on a stock 0.8.2. But I couldn't find any DB schema changes in
the Git log, so I'll try that...

Well, in that case, I wonder if it would be possible to add me in the
facebook F-Spot Export plugin app Admins (profile is
https://www.facebook.com/matthieu.nguyen ), so that I can fix the
authorizations setting and see why the app page does not display on FB
anymore. (Still haven't found the owner/contact for the page). I tried
setting up my own app and use that instead, but that gave me other problem
as I couldn't authenticate anymore, which made me think that maybe new apps
don't support the legacy authentication scheme, so setting up my new app
would force a rewrite of the whole plugin using OAuth 2.0 and the Graph
API, or the facebook c# sdk, or both.

Makes sense, as long as you can configure version
compatibility/incompatibility.

Or maybe there's a certain case that makes you *avoid* the problem :D. Does
the plugin let you pick your albums freely? What are the authorizations you
gave the app in FB (or the ones it asked for...)?
