Google Picasa Description

A software that helps you easily instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. Picasa project is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organised by date with folder names you will recognise.You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups. Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organised.Picasa also makes advanced editing simple by putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips. And Picasa makes it a snap to share your pictures - you can email, print photos home, make gift CDs, and even post pictures on your own blog.Toward the very end, everything was looking great except that the initial assumption that most cameras emulate storage devices turned out to be wrong. Fortunately, Marcus Meissner just happened to decide to implement libgphoto support; his patch appeared at the perfect moment, and now Picasa supports both common flavors of cameras.Two features left out of the Linux version were CD-ROM burning (the driver Picasa uses is hard to support under Wine) and movie playback (Wine doesn't have the necessary codecs). Both are potentially fixable in a future version, but were beyond the scope of this first port.One interesting challenge when shipping commercial apps for Linux is packaging -- do you choose RPM or Debian packages, or do you use a WIndows-style installer? The Picasa for Linux team chose all three, in hopes of pleasing everybody. (Let's see how well *that* works :-) The Windows-style installer was implemented using the open-source Loki installer, and a few patches were contributed back for that, too. Requirements: · Should work on any Linux system with Intel 386-compatible processor · glibc 2.3.2 or greater, and a working X11 display system · Desktop Integration features require a current version of Gnome or KDE · Camera detection and integration requires kernel >= 2.6.13, hal >= 0.56, and gnome-volume-manager or equivalent Limitations: · This is an English-only release. · This version of Picasa for Linux does not support movie files. · Picasa notices don't stay on a given desktop. Picasa pops up notices to let you know it's found new photos or has added photos to its library. These notices come on the current desktop; some users would rather they stayed on the same desktop that Picasa itself was on. · Several BlogThis! features do not work properly with Picasa's embedded browser window, such as spell check and new account URL tester. · Music playback during slideshow doesn't work. · If you have an NFS mounted home directory, the performance may be poor. Picasa relies heavily on a lot of files in the ~/.picasa directory, and if the home directory is slow, then Picasa will be slow. You can work around this by making a directory in /var/opt/picasa/$USERNAME/ that corresponds to your username. You have to have full rights to that directory. · A few print providers (namely Photobox) do not work correctly. · Timeline do not show full-screen images when running on a 24-bit depth X server, even if that setting is checked in the Options dialog. · No camera/media detection on non Gnome/KDE systems. · Picasa Menu items end up in "Lost and Found" on KDE 4. · picasa:// urls do not work in Firefox 3 if Gconf is not installed. · Search text box background color is wrong. · Picasa splash screen not centered on some window managers. What's New in This Release: · Improved integration with Picasa Web Albums · You can sync your Picasa 3 and Web Albums edits, change your online album settings from Picasa, and delete online albums from Picasa. · Better uploading with the upload Drop-box and bandwidth throttling. · New Retouch tool to remove unsightly blemishes and improve photo quality. Improved Collage tool lets you have total artistic control over your collage content and layout. · Auto red-eye: same results, less work for you. · Easily add text or watermarks to your photos. · User data are now stored in ~/.google/picasa/. · Camera/media detection integrated with Gnome/KDE. · Mozilla/Firefox browser integration done via a plugin. · picasa:// urls work in Firefox 3. · Downloading albums from Picasa Web Albums launches faster. · Better Xinerama support.
