If you put pictures in a watched folder inside Picasa, then the folder will appear in the app's folder list the next time you start it. It'll show you the picture count behind the folder's name as it should. However what if you've other (sub-)folders in there too? Picasa shows only the top-level contents of a folder (when you select it in the folder list), ie. you don't see in a selected folder the pictures of it's sub-folders (these sub-folders appear in Picasa's folder list as separate items). However, the folder deletion process works recursively, ie. it'll delete all sub-folders (and all their content) too!

There's already a picasa module for Drupal, but if you just want a random photo block and not the complete integration stuff (custom node type and nodes for all the photos), then you might find my module more attractive. Its use is pretty straightforward, set up the block as you'd do with any other block. The Picasa Web Albums user id can be specified in the blocks configuration page (along with a couple of other options).

This is the second thing to read if you're about to work with Google's Picasa Web Albums Data API (aka. write an application that interacts with Picasa Web Albums).
