This isn't the fault of Shotwell; this is a Picasa Web Albums security feature. Picasa Web Albums will not extract EXIF geolocation information from photos unless you explicitly authorize it to do so. This is for obvious security reasons: if you have a photo in your Picasa public gallery entitled "Party at my House" that includes automatically published geolocation information, then the entire world knows where you live. To instruct Picasa to automatically extract geolocation information from uploaded photos, do the following:
(i) On the Picasa Web Albums homepage, click "Settings" in the upper-right-hand corner. (ii) >From the drop down menu, choose "Photos settings." (iii) On the tab bar, click "Privacy & Permissions." (iv) Under the "Location" section, check the box that says "Automatically map photos if they contain location data." -- Shotwell does not publish GPS info to Picasa Web Albums https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/654237 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
