Yeah, I've actually got an idea how to fix that (I've had tabs to similar solutions open in my browser for weeks now), it's just that I haven't had much time to get coding lately. In the same vein, what I was looking at should also allow Picasa/Google Photos pics to be uploaded instead of just causing problems like they always have, and it might not require additional permissions if I'm reading it right.
I'll try to get to it soon, since I know this is starting to be an issue. Thanks for the report, though!
