Hi all,

You have a fantastic piece of software here, and I'm happy to have it
up and running on Linux now.  One thing that took me quite a bit of
searching was to figure out how to get Picasa to play nice with
Nautilus under gnome.  After some searching and a few issues, I found
the answer.

I needed to create the file:
/opt/picasa/bin/picasa-hook-filemanager.sh
Just putting it in /usr/local/bin, or anything else in PATH didn't
work, it needed to be in /opt/picasa/bin

Then I had to chmod it so it could execute, and finally here is the
contents:

nautilus "${1%%$(basename "$1")}"

This works perfectly, however I still had to go in and move/delete
winefile and winefile.exe.so because Picasa was opening the directory
in Nautilus, and then again Wine File.

So again, to recap:

$ nano /opt/picasa/bin/picasa-hook-filemanager.sh
add this to the end of the file:
nautilus "${1%%$(basename "$1")}"
save it
$chmod 777  /opt/picasa/bin/picasa-hook-filemanager.sh (or something
more secure else if you don't want it 777)
In Picasa, right click on a file and select Locate on Disk
Make sure it works!
If Picasa opens WineFile AND Nautilus, do the following:
$find -name winefile
rm or mv winefile and winefile.exe.so

To use Konqueror - I haven't tested this, but several people say that
entering one of following in picasa-hook-filemanager.sh will launch
Konqueror:

konqueror --profile filemanager "$1"
or
konqueror --select "$1"

Thanks for the great software - hope this helps someone!

Sadly, nothing changed for me. It only opened Wine File.

Remove any lines that say "exit 1" from the file. And make sure that
the file is located in one of the directories on your path - echo $PATH
to see a list of those directories.

exelent!
Works great on Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) just by doing:
------------------------------------
$ sudo nano /opt/picasa/bin/picasa-hook-filemanager.sh
add this to the end of the file:
nautilus "${1%%$(basename "$1")}"
save it
$ sudo chmod 777  /opt/picasa/bin/picasa-hook-filemanager.sh
Start Picasa, right click on a file and select Locate on Disk
Make sure it works!

Thank you for your post and I would sugest that the picasa linux team
could add this automatically on the installer.
