Windows Live Photo Gallery (beta) has a "Publish" option which can be used to send images to Windows Live Spaces and Flikr currently. Has anybody considered building support to allow publishing to G2? This would be the perfect solution for me. Does this exist already or is it currently in development by any chance?

Is there a development kit or a published API somewhere?

BTW: the "publishxp" module works fine with windows vista's built-in "Windows Photo Gallery".
see: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:publishxp#Windows_Vista_Compatibility

It would be awesome if gallery could sync better with Windows Live Photo Gallery. I think Microsoft has done a really good job on WLPG - IMO it's much better than the likes of Google's Picasa.

Even more awesome would be if Gallery could store meta-data in photos in the same way as WLPG - i.e. Title, comments, description etc. are stored in an XMP EXIF tag in the photo itself, rather than meta-data being stored in a separate database. Some sort of sync client could be written so that you would sync your photos between your PC and online gallery, therefore reducing the need to maintain a separate database containing the meta-data for your online photos.

I have created a new project WindowsLive2Gallery for publishing photos from WLPG to Gallery2. You can access the information for this project here: http://winlive2gallery.sourceforge.net

The first version v0.5 (alpha) was just released today. Please feel free to download, support and discuss this project on sourceforge

From another thread i started, which has no answers at all

Although i have a workaround I really would like to get this working. Win 7 no longer has the old Photo Gallery but the Live photogallery.

The good news the Vista registry key and order Print way of publishing pictures still works however, I alsoo downloaded

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Anyone any suggestions?
(the above error is on a windows7 32 machine , i will try the 64 version shortly) However as far as i know the photogallery is 32 bit anyway

@desiredbard: If you have already opened a bug on the project sourceforge page, I have privately emailed you to debug this issue.

Due to copyright concerns, I had to rename the project to Publish on Gallery. The URL stays the same http://winlive2gallery.sourceforge.net
