How to delete pictures of picasa?

[jnerin]

I have been trying to delete some pictures of a picasa album, but I
only manage to delete whole albums instead of specific pictures.

Thats what I tried:

$ google picasa list --title Prueba
20100308_164217-img_1360.jpg,N/A
20100308_164217-img_1360.jpg,N/A
20100424_181826-img_1140.jpg,N/A

Yes, there is a duplicate upload, but it's really a different version.
Now to make things easy I will try to delete the last one.

$ google picasa delete --title Prueba 20100424_181826-img_1140.jpg
Are you SURE you want to delete album "Prueba"? (y/N): n

$ google picasa delete --title Prueba --query 20100424_181826-
img_1140.jpg
No photos matching 20100424_181826-img_1140.jpg

$ google picasa delete --title Prueba --query "20100424_181826-
img_1140.jpg,NA"

How do I delete just one picture of an album? and in the case of
duplicated pictures, how to work with them?

Thank you.

Seems like you've found a bug and an enhancement request. The bug is not being able to delete photos, the enhancement is a better system for displaying the difference between two photos with identical titles but different content.

You can file new issues here: http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/issues/entry

Thanks!
