PMPDB

PMPDB read all the PMP files containing the Picasa Database and the file containing indexes thumbindex.db. This program will create 3 csv files: albumdata.csv (album database), catdata.csv (category database), imagedata.csv (picture database).

Usage:

./build/install/PMPDB/bin/PMPDB -folder "/path/to/PicasaDB/Picasa2/db3/" -output ./OutputFolder

PicasaFaces

PicasaFaces will extract the face information from the Picasa Database and save it in a csv file. If the command line contains the argument "-convert" followed by the path to convert, then imagemagick will create all the face thumbshots (in the output folder with a folder for each person). A string replacement of the image paths can be done if the pictures location is different from the database.

Usage:

./build/install/PMPDB/bin/PicasaFaces -folder "/path/to/PicasaDB/Picasa2/db3/" -output ./OutputFolder -replaceRegex C: -replacement /media/HardDrive -convert /path/to/convert(.exe)
