    Re: Google Picasa 3

    A friend was mentioning this to me. I doubt I'll install it myself, though, because:

    1. I prefer native apps to Windows ports;
    2. I find that I don't benefit from photo-organization software.
    Have you ever found something in the second-to-last place you looked?
    If it seems like I am ignoring you, perhaps I am.

    Same here. Both F-Spot and Picasa through Wine is more trouble than help for me. I use a combination of GThumb and The Gimp while waiting for newer (native) versions.

    There is an application called BlueMarine that looks promising.

    I am hanging out for one of these applications to support geotagging on ubuntu. I know the windows version of Picasa does it well.

    Wine just introduced subpixel font rendering
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...2&goto=newpost

    hopefully Google can incorporate it with the wine they are using in Picasa.

    tried blueMarine > but it just displays the fotos , no editing options what so ever , unless there are plugins! didnt check that out though...

    but another problem i had was it creates duplicates of the fotos for workspaces!

    windows suchks but the only program i miss from windows is
    WINDOWS LIVE PHOTO GALLERY >
    easy to use for noobs ,
    can edit fotos,
    doesnt create unnecessary backups of the pics ,
    and the option to delete the original unedited fotos [picasa should add this feature]

    hope there is a replacement of this software for linux

    I don't know about you but for me Picasa under wine is sooo faster than F-Spot. Inporting photos, opening, editing....

    Even so, I don't like the look and feel of picasa, so I use gThumb and Gimp until something better comes.

    Solution to the unreadable fonts problem in Picasa 3

    Now obviously Picasa has wine built in ... does anyone know how to fix this issue with Picasa ?

    I've found a solution to this problem. It's very simple.

    Open the file
    ~/.google/picasa/3.0/user.reg
    and add the line

    Code:
    "ClientSideWithRender"="N"
    just below the
    Code:
    [Software\\Wine\\X11 Driver] 1230224923
    line.
    The result should look like this
    Code:
    [Software\\Wine\\X11 Driver] 1230224923
    "ClientSideWithRender"="N"
    "InputStyle"="offthespot"
    It's basically the same solution as in the wine website, but since I wasn't able to start the regedit.exe of picasa's wine, I decided to do it manually and luckily I've found the file necessary.

    A similar solution is provided in the The Official Wine Wiki FAQ:

    This fix did not work for me, but your fix did. Where did you find this solution VitaminXbg?

    It must have been the "InputStyle"="offthespot" line that solved the problem, as this line of code is not included in the FAQ above.

    I added the same code to '~/.wine/user.reg' and that works now too!

    Thanks for posting your solution!

    Re: Google Picasa 3

    Is there any way to get PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) to work in Picasa? I have to use F-spot in order to import photos from my camera (in 8.04)
