Download entire albums from Picasa with GoogleCL

With GoogleCL it's simple as 1-2-3:
$ google picasa get "Album name" local_path

But with my album naming scheme this didn't work at first.
I name my albums like this: "2011.10.10 (Short description)"

And while GoogleCL relies on regular expressions parenthesis within an album name caused problems (album wasn't retrieved from Picasa).

But then I discovered that it's possible to disable regexp usage in GoogleCL configuration.

In "~/.config/googlecl/config" set "regexp=False" in "[General]" section.
