Moreover, it strikes me as unlikely that we are going to see any updates to Picasa which address this problem - Brian Rose promised to get back to me in June after discussing the matter with his team, but I've not heard a word. My guess is that all development effort is being devoted to Picnic. However, if you log into the same Google account as that which governs the Picasa Web Album in question, you should be able to download the files it contains to your harddisk using the technique referred to above and then log into another Google account when you want to download a different Picasa Web Album - so long as your browser regards the account as yours, your harddisk is unlikely to complain that earlier downloads have been from a different account....
