Download entire album from Google+?
As suggested by @vurdalakov
With this tool:
http://code.google.com/p/gpalbum/
and an implementation of wget it is possible to have the files in seconds.
Download, unzip, and run the gpalbum program
Visit the album and copy the url out of the address bar
Paste the url into gpalbum
Click "Get Image URLs"
Click "Copy Image URLs to clipboard
Paste URLs into any text editor
replace all "https" with "wget https"
Save it as a batch file
Run
All the images are now downloaded locally, I have been looking for this for a while, just tried it and it is fantastic.
FYI Each line looks something like this
wget https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/FULLIMAGEPATH.jpg
The specific version used for testing was 1.00 (update: 1.03 also tested).
Use the following commands in a bash shell (e.g. a Linux terminal):
(copy&paste the album URL to the end of the first one)
wget -O album.html https://plus.google.com/photos/XXX/albums/YYY?authkey=ZZZ
grep '"https://lh..googleusercontent.com/.*",\[' album.html | sed 's%,"\(https://lh..googleusercontent.com/.*\)",\[".*%\1=w0-h0%' >images.txt
wget -i images.txt --content-disposition
There you get them all, in full size (but no EXIF data)! This even works for private albums (visibility: ‘anyone with the link’).
