Always the same 30 photos are shown, when I have near 600 photos in my album

Hey Cory - I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE EXTENSION and have been using it ferociously for years. Lately I added a lot of pictures to my google and the app has been refusing to reconnect now matter how many times I install/uninstall, remove chrome, reinstall chrome, restart my computer. I even went as far as moving a folder with only 600+ photos to a different gmail acccount and trying to connect that instead but the app seems stuck forever. Can you please fix? thank you very much. brings a smile to my face and this extension is such a gem.
