Evening, all.
Picasa 3.0 for Linux
For anyone who might fancy having a play with the forerunner to the current Google Photos, I've d/l'd the .deb for this, and converted it to an SFS. It runs via its own built-in version of WINE; it's essentially the Windows .exe running in a self-contained.WINE environment.
It's probably been posted on here before anyway.....but here's a new 're-pack' for y'all:-

....including all sorts of nifty editing features. (Plus a Menu Entry, which, strangely enough, is MIA from the .deb package).
Enjoy..!

Exporting Photos with Picasa 2018
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the rebuilt version of Picasa. It's given me another reason to tease my wife. She recently purchased a Windows 10 computer. Picasa, her favorite program, has serious problems under Windows 10 and after a pretty exhaustive search I can't find any free Windows program which could do what Picasa could: provide both photo-management and simple photo editing. Maybe Shotcut, but she wouldn't let me try it after I installed a half dozen contenders, she tried them, found them wanting, and uninstalled them.
The work-around I suggest here, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 758#807758 no longer works. The best advice I've found for uploading photos is https://sites.google.com/site/picasares ... asa3-users
The problem seems to be that the sign-in url is dead; and the "sign up" option which used to provide access to google-photos no longer does.
I find it hard to believe that google hard-coded those URLs, but I couldn't find any editable file which provides them. Maybe someone who actually knows what to look for can?
This seems to be another case of a big corporation operating with a "one track mindset" "throwing the baby out with the bathwater". It had a solid product with picasa, albeit it fudged when creating the "Linux" version [=Wine + xp version]*. But google now wants everyone to upload to google repos. So, it killed picasa.

* wonder if picasa could be modified: deleting its version of wine (reducing its footprint) and linked to whatever version of wine you may otherwise be running.
