List album access levels about googlecl HOT 5 CLOSED

I suspect the albums are:

First half of April, http://picasaweb.google.com/philsnow/FirstHalfOfApril
Feb-March, http://picasaweb.google.com/philsnow/FebMarch
Liam's Birthday, http://picasaweb.google.com/philsnow/LiamSBirthday

The problem is that the picasa list task doesn't require logging in, so if you 
haven't performed any tasks that require logging in / authenticating, it will 
only list your public albums.

Potential solution: Add an option --access that can take one of "public, 
protected, private". It can be used to set permissions on creating an album, or 
listing albums. If you specify "protected" or "private", a login is forced.

Opinions?

Indeed those are the three albums (set to public by mistake, thanks for 
pointing it out).

Re your potential solution, wouldn't it be better to use the picasaweb term 
"unlisted" instead of "protected"?  Also I think the default for list-albums 
should be to log in, and then there should be an option --public that only 
lists public albums.

r214 forces the user to log in. It erases the ability to list other user's 
public albums, but it makes the picasa service behave like all the others (and 
solves this problem).

Implementing the solution we've talked about will involve re-working how tasks 
are defined, which isn't something I should be tackling right before getting 
publicized :)

I'll leave this issue as "Accepted" until a good solution is written.

using the --owner flag will list only your public albums, but I think the 
general thing to do here is enable "picasa list" to also list album access 
levels.

r466 fixes this issue. Documentation now includes access as a valid value to 
include with --fields.
