DESCRIPTION
       This script will download photos from the Picasa Web site based upon a
       query you give. This will download all files into the current working
       directory. If albums are downloaded (the default unless --kind is set
       to "photo"), subdirectories will be created for each album and the
       photos will be placed within those.

NAME
       picasa-get - fetch albums and photos from Google Picasa Web

OPTIONS
       --username
           This is the Google username to use when logging in. This is
           generally a GMail address or another email address used to login to
           Google services.

       --password
           This is the Google password to use when loggin in.

       --kind
           This is the kind of information to pull. There are two possible
           settings:

           album
               This is the default. If albums are pulled, each album found
               will cause a directory to be created in the current working
               directory. Then, all the photos in the album will be placed in
               that directory.

           photo
               The matching photos will be pulled and saved into the current
               working directory.

       --user-id
           This is the Google user ID to use to pull from.

           If --kind is not given or is set to "album", then the default is to
           use the "default" user ID. This special identifier tells Google to
           pull for the currently authenticated user (which won't work if
           you're not authenticated, so specify --user-id if you don't specify
           --username).

           If --kind is set to "photo", then the default is not to set this at
           all, but to pull photos from the general picasa community. You may
           set this to "default" to user the logged username or a specific
           user ID.

       --album-id
           This is the ID of the album to use when fetching photos. This
           option can be used more than once to specify multiple albums to
           fetch.

       --find-album
       --find-photo
           This option allows you to specify additional rules to match albums
           or photos by. This option can be used more than once to require
           additional rules. Each rule is given with a field name followed by
           either "=" to specify and exact match or "=~" to specify a Perl
           regular expression match, finally with the value to match. For
           example, to match only those albums containing "2008" in the name,
           you could run:

             picasa-list --kind album --username example --find-album title=~2008

           This would download only images attached to albums with "2008" in
           the title.

           Here is a list of fields you can compare against:

           o   id

           o   url

           o   title

           o   summary

           o   author_name

           o   author_uri

           o   entry_id

           o   user_id

       --option
           This option allows you to specify arbitrary options on the Picasa
           Web query. To see a list of available options, check "STANDARD LIST
           OPTIONS" in Net::Google::PicasaWeb.

       --update
           Normally, if a directory matching the name of an album already
           exists, this utility will not enter that directory and write photos
           into it. If this option is given, it will go ahead and do so.

       --dry-run
           If given, no directories will be created and no files will be
           downloaded. The script will go through the process of describing
           what it would do if this option weren't set.

       --quiet
           If given, the typical status output will be surpressed.

       --help
           Show some of this help stuff.

       --man
           Show lots of help.
