When looking the script I wrote that upload pictures, I see that for
the 2nd argument I pass to InsertPhotoSimple(), I volontary strip the
filename extension and the path and use it for the title.
self._gd.InsertPhotoSimple(album_url,
---> filename.split('/')[-1].split('.')[0],
'', filename, content_type=file_type)
but in the python-gdata client library, InsertPhotoSimple() is defined
this way:
def InsertPhotoSimple(self, album_or_uri, title, summary,
filename_or_handle,
content_type='image/jpeg', keywords=None):
"""Add a photo without constructing a PhotoEntry.
Needs authentication, see self.ClientLogin()
Arguments:
album_or_uri: AlbumFeed or uri of the album where the photo should
go
title: Photo title
summary: Photo summary / description
filename_or_handle: A file-like object or file name where the
image/video
will be read from
content_type (optional): Internet media type (a.k.a. mime type) of
media object. Currently Google Photos supports these types:
[snip]
the 2nd argument is explained as "Photo title"... that cause the
confusion that let me think I could removed the filename extension.
so, I see 3 things here:
1: python-gdata is not clear enough on the definition of the 2nd
argument.
2: PicasaWeb API atom entries are using title as the filename, 2
differents things
3: PicasaWeb, or at least the part that enable or disable rotation in
the web interface, get the mime-type of a picture in the filename
(entry.title.text). something that can be dangerous (rename a .gif in
a .jpg)
