Re: Picasa does not give me option of using other email clients

I should also have mentioned that kmail and the default Gnome mail
client (the name of which I forget) are both supported out of the box
without needing the script.

You can use your default email client in Linux using
picasa-hook-email.sh script which you need to write yourself.
I have written one for Thunderbird which performs seamlessly.

Re: Picasa not downloading to Linux Home Directory

Please disregard my previous message. It's not a bug in Picasa online
albums but one for Chromium developers to fix as it works in Firefox
3.6.x OK.
Thanks again.

Bug - Unable to Download

"Sorry not enough disk space, to safely download pictures" when I
attempt to download from my Picassa web album into Picasa desktop
application. Fine and good except that my home directory, where my
Picassa resides in over 90% empty -- It's the root partition that is
71% full.
Picasa should allow me to download to the same partiton/hard disk that

I'll take your word for it - I never looked at csh, however...

dood!
bash : csh :: emacs : vi !
Which may be ambiguous, so to be clear what I mean is that vi rocks,
emacs sux, csh rocks, bash sux.

Thanks for the tips John - I don't do a great deal of work with Picasa
but the script looked interesting so I've been playing around with it.
I don't have (or particularly want) csh on my machine so I tweaked it to
run in bash instead :-
date=$(date +%Y.%m.%d)
file="/home/$USER/picasa_backu p.$date.tar.gz"

Sweet! I can confirm that picasa 3.6 will recover individual edits
from a broken db, and albums from the respective xml (.pal) files. The
pal files only need to be on the path that picasa scans to be
recovered.
You can delete the contents of the db3 directory, start picasa and
have it regenerate the database, and all edits will be preserved. This

Raw files on Picasa

2009-12-27T23:25:17Z

If you try and import a RAW file (canon) onto picasa 3, you will get a
pink image. However if you operate a Mac with picasa 3, you can open
RAW canon files. You can also open RAW canon files with iPhoto on Mac.
Maybe this is why photographers and publishers use the superior Mac. I
have both a PC and a Mac. Which do you think is better?

Backing up the picasa 3.6 db when "backup pictures" is borked

2009-12-27T18:14:53Z

Further to my post a couple days ago - if you get picasa 3.6 working
it seems likely that the "backup pictures" feature is borked (at least
for me on ubuntu 9.10 with wine 1.2). I found that a reasonable thing
to do instead is to backup the albums and the db, since you can
rebuild the database easily by pointing to the directories with your
