Re: Picasa2 for Linux!

Yes, this is nice. But, do we have to have WINE installed for it to run?

Total size: 24MB. Includes Picasa software (9MB), Wine (12MB) and Gecko engine (3MB).

I'd still feel better if it was a true Linux app, but it's a move in that direction hopefully.

Nice, if only Google would let me view the website. I'm getting a 404 error...

I'm assuming its cos I'm an Aussie, and it'll start loading for me soon... Stupid Google servers giving different stuff to different people.

Wow, this is great. After using iPhoto and Picasa, I was pleasantly surprised with the latter. Now if only Apple would take some pointers from Picasa.

Wow - I have never used this software before, I have to admit I'm might impressed.

It even saw when my camera was connected in PTP mode and took care of business for me.
