Picasa Simplified XML Web Export Template v1.0

Sunday, February 27, 2005 12:44 AM

This is a modification of the built-in Picasa XML web export template. The default includes undefined fields, and fields that only make sense if used directly in a gallery. Even then they don't seem necessary, but that's just me...

Download this, unzip it, then move the folder into your >program files<\Picasa2\web\templates folder. Next time you start Picasa it will be in the list of templates for Create a Web Page. This template is not needed for my bulk image uploader, but is useful if you want a smaller file.

Awesome! Thanks. Now my challenge is to see if I can find out if Picasa reads EXIF headers - I would have to believe it does - and a way to add them to the templates so I can output the GPS info from images into this simplified template.

If you can help please send me a message to sortofhotmale@hotmail.com 7/7/2005 7:11 PM | Jamie

You've figured out how to get Picasa to export the EXIF info? I am trying to figure out the samething and incorporate that with simpleviewer template....

Picasa definitely has EXIF awareness/integration, but no documented way (at this point) to reflect that in exports. This is a pretty big deal that would make a big difference. It's a shame really, that with no plugin model Picasa seems to be better than "good enough" for most people, but not "awesome." It's a solid foundation that's completely locked up. 5/26/2006 5:45 AM | Arian

Any luck with exporting the EXIF info to XML? This is something I'm interesting in as well and having it within Picasa would save a few steps. I noticed that jhead has a batch EXIF export to XML feature, but I run Win32 not Unix. 9/28/2006 12:15 PM | David

This is something that Picasa needs to expose. They still have no plugin architecture (though I've submitted that feedback more than once!). For right now, no EXIF export. :-( 9/28/2006 7:01 PM | Arian
