What is the best alternative to Picasa?
is there a recommened alternative to Picasa for an amateur such as myself. I used and liked Picasa immensely on my old windows and now that it is not available for ubuntu i would like to know if a good alternative exists Thanks Simon
After I installed Picasa 3.9, I tried to import some photos from a USB stick plugged in. However, it does not show up in Picasa (Ubuntu has no problem recognizing it). There is just a general Mass Storage Camera item in the Import From field. When I select it, the program hangs. Could it be caused by this bug? Do you know any workaround?
I recently added Picasa 3.9 to my Ubuntu 11.10 machine using the technique from this askUbuntu question: How would I install Picasa 3.9?
But I'm wondering: does adding IE 6.0 (or Wine or Winetricks) leave my system vulnerable in any way? Since the IE 6.0 was added to allow Picasa 3.9 login, I'm concerned about entering my Google account credentials, should I be?
Thanks.
Since picasa is no longer available on ubuntu(and i dont want to go for the workarounds for installing it), is there some application available in Ubuntu which can sync albums with picasa web albums?
A previous discussion gave excellent instructions on running the latest Picasa version on Ubuntu 11.10 , but I still can't get an effective connection between the desktop application and my online account.
Existing instructions for installation and config of connection between Picasa desktop and server
I tried the Winetricks approach, but my netbook perhaps does not have the grunt to process all the information at once. It requested I instal Gecko the first time I tried to connect with my Picasa account, but then just hangs. Having installed Winetricks, how may I uninstal it and use the application specific password approach you mention? Thanks for your assistance
