Shotwell 0.32.2 (0.32.2)
The expected behaviour
Publish with Google Photo works ;-)
What was actually happening
=> Starting publish gives message that it cannot continue after selecting to publish: message is : Publishing to Google Photo can't continue because an error occurred: Album fetch did not contain expected data. The only option is to select another publish method or close the screen.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Select some picture and start publish. Error comes immediately in the popup screen (so not listing the options to re-use the previous album or create a new one). In the Log file I see message: [CRT] shotwell_plugins_common_web_authentication_pane_clear: assertion 'SHOTWELL_PLUGINS_COMMON_IS_WEB_AUTHENTICATION_PANE (self)' failed Background: I have been uploading in the past days (since 4 days) my photo collection, somewhere between 20k and 25k pictures, in about 10 albums. My access to google photo directly is still working fine. It could be a limitation on Google photo: but then at least a nice error message would be nice.
