Am hoping for some quick help here. I haven’t accessed/modified my Picasa Web Albums in a while and the interface has changed. I’ve uploaded pictures to a new album but its security is set to Private. I want to change this to Public, and Help and searches tell me that function is accessed from the Actions button.
Trouble is, I don’t see any Actions button. WTF is it? (Yes, I’m frustrated. And hostile.)
I tried a search (site:boards.straightdope.com actions button picasa web) but didn’t see this discussed yet - maybe it’s there and I didn’t get to it.
Bottom line; I want to change a new album’s security setting from Private to Public. How do I do that?
In case it helps, here are the menu options that I see. The URL starts with https://plus.google.com/photos…
L-to-R across the top:
+(my_name); Search; Images; Maps; Play; YouTube; News; Gmail; Drive; Calendar; More (Translate; Mobile; Books; Offers; Wallet; Shopping; Blogger; Finance; Photos; Videos; Even more
Near the top, but lower; L-to-R across:
What’s New; Highlights; Photos; Albums; More (Auto Backup; From posts; Photos of you; Trash); Upload photos
It is in that last row that I think I’d see Actions, but it’s not there.
I haven’t moved to Google+, but in my interface, to change privacy, on the sidebar on the right, there’s the album description and the privacy setting and (edit). Does yours have that as well?
From your “Home” page in Picasa, you can see all your albums. At the bottom of each album, there will be a globe, with perhaps a padlock over it. if you click on the album title or key photo, it opens the album. Along the top of the new page are buttons and drop down menus; Slideshow, Share, Add Photos, Prints, Actions, Organize.
