I recently discovered a problem while trying to import a picasa xml export into Gallery2. I don't see any references to it anywhere so here it is.

If the "caption" attached to the pictures in Picasa have an "&" in then, the import will terminate as soon as it hits that picture in the file. I discovered this by trial and error.
