Picasa Exist in linux Mint 8, without wine.
Why are you running it with wine?

    I've got wine 1.1.32 on a 32-bit x86 Fedora Rawhide system. I
    downloaded picasa36-setup.exe, blew away ~/.wine entirely, and ran "wine
    picasa36-setup.exe". It's been running for ten or fifteen minutes now,
    with both PicasaUpdater and wineserver sucking CPU and otherwise
    apparently doing nothing.
     
    Whatever y'all did to enable you to install picasa 3.6 under a generic
    wine installation, it doesn't appear to work for me.
     
    Any suggestions?

    Picasa 3.6 installs and runs fine on Ubuntu Karmic with wine 1.0.1
    Upgraded picasa linux version by replacing files from wine version to
    linux version (same procedure as 3.5)

    Actually, I have found Picasa 3.6 to run MUUUCH faster than 3.5 with
    the face recognition on and all, under the pre-packaged Wine and the
    3.0 deb.
     
    I installed Picasa in Wine (latest version) with no problems, and then
    moved the folder.

    I find that on my 64-bit Ubuntu Karmic machine, the unsupported Wine
    version (Picasa Version 3.6.0 (Build 95.1800, 0) for Linux) lacks some
    of the features I most appreciated on the supported Picasa Version
    3.1.0 (70.8101, 0) for Linux, such as the ability to use CJK languages
    in folders and captions. Moreover, fonts are often blurry, i e, at the
    upper right of the Picasa window, and geotagging doesn't work (I don't
    know if this be due to the fact that I'm located in Europe, not North
    America). Still worse, not all of the photos in a given folder on my
    harddisk are displayed in Picasa. However, the «People» («Faces»)
    feature works fine. I really do hope that now that Chrome/Chromium is
    up and running in Linux and Mac as well as Windows OS, the great
    Picasa for Linux developers who previously worked on this feature can
    return to it !...

    Please provide a url for this "linux/wine" version. My wine will not
    install the windoz version 3.5/3.6 and I have *not* seen anything past
    3.1 packaged for linux.

The linux version (3.0) runs on an included wine, but the last version
offered in this package is 3.0. Since windoz versions have been offered,
3.5 and 3.6, with many improvements. And they will run on linux with
wine, some massaging required.

ps. Look again at your Mint 8 version for the release number of picasa
and for the wine requirement.
