Is Google Coming Out With Newer Version Of Picasa For Linux?
Kook Loon Koh
version of Picasa. I wonder when is Google going to release any newer
version especially for Linux? Window version is 3.8 but the Linux
version is till stuck at 3.0. Thanks!
Stephen
There is no version for Linux, never was. All it was is the windows version tweaked to run in the provided WINE binaries.

AND,
I believe that google has ceased development of picasa in lu of picnic, ie
remote apps or *cloud* apps.
I also believe in *conspiracy* theorem :^)
I think that google is a much younger M$ and is getting people to become
dependent on them to the point that they will gain some of your bank
account. And the more slowly this develops, the greator the dependency
will be and the $$$s realized.
M$ let the theft (bootleg copies of win 3.0, 3.01, 3.+++, 95, 98) go on to
the point that now very few computers are manufactured w/o them getting
their cut which is a significant amount of the purchase price.
Note that many/most of google apps are not really open-source, but just
free. A small step to change that. :^(
BUT few *really* know....

Just for curious -- can I install 3.8 separately from 3.0 or does it
insist on installing it over 3.0?

I don't trust clouds. I used picnic ONCE, which was more than enough.
Why do people keep throwing in eye candy when all people really want is
an efficient function? Or maybe I'm wrong...

Me too.

I remember hearing that there wasn't a single legal copy of windows 3.x
in the entire nation of Israel and that M$ knew it and LIKED it.
No idea how they could find that out, but I do know that when my husband
was selling assemblers back in the dark ages he sold a copy to ONE user
in Chicago and that maybe a year later there was an announcement of a
meeting for the Illinois user group in one of the free computer mags.
After he saw that he refused to sell anything to anybody in Illinois --
if they wanted his stuff they'd have to get a friend in Tennessee or
something to order it. That's probably regarded as discriminatory now,
so it's a good thing that nobody needs MSDOS cross assemblers any more.

What really gripes me about google is that I have one public account for
spam-catching uses (such as this group) and one more-or-less public
account for uses that involve real money. When I do a google function
it assumes that I'm now using the identity I used last for any purpose
whatsoever, and which is generally WRONG. It would be nice if they used
separate cookies for each account -- certainly faster than having to log
out and log in again. </rant>

certainly you can. As I recall 3.0 installs in /opt/google/picasa or
there-a-bouts and 3.{6,8} in
.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Google/Picasa3/

If you *really* think about this, it is a good thing. You _can_ have
different browsers open to different gmail/google accounts at the same
time.

Well, Bev, since one good turn (I'm going to remember that excuse about an immunity-enhancement centre !), here's what a friend does to log in to the particular Gmail account she desires without logging out and loggin in : she has several different browsers installed on her machine, with a different Gmail account set as home page in each one. When she wants to load that account, she simply launches the corresponding browser....
Note that Google does allow opening an ordinary garden variety Gmail account, with address of the type «username @ gmail.com», and a Google Apps mail account, with address of the type «username @ yourdomain.com», in different tabs on the same browser ; it's multiple gmail accounts that it doesn't permit....

PS : As regards conspiracy theories, I hold with those who see Google abandoning Picasa and concentrating its efforts on Picnic. It's been quite some time since an update to Picasa 3.8 was released, and I note that I've never received the promised reply from Brian Rose on problems downloading Picasa Web Albums sent me by others to my Linux box as discussed on this thread....

I only saw that option on the newest account. It seemed to indicate
that all the accounts would be linked in some way and I definitely don't
want that.
I can keep the logins separate (separate Firefox 6 tabs or windows) as
long as I don't click on a google-link in an email -- then everything
goes to hell in a handbasket and I have to log in all over again.
