smugmug.albums.get and hidden albums

I'm finishing an upload app for Android devices, and found this little misbehaviour: the API method albums.get returns all the user's albums, but not the hidden ones. Is that correct?

If the user wants to upload the photos to a hidden album he/she will need first unhide the album, configure it in my app, and after that hide it again. The upload to a hidden album works perfectly.

There is a way to bypass this behaviour?

    If you use OAuth and your app requests "full" permissions it should be able to retrieve all albums by the user.

    Ouch....I was avoiding requesting full permissions (first of all because I don't need it), but if there is no other way....

    Thanks for the info!
