Any plan to have a native linux binary?

[yegle]

Just curious.

A wined picasa on Chrome OS? That's terrible...

Actually I agree with you.

picasa would run faster and get more support if it was an open-source
app.

Actually wine makes the application slower and a linux native version
would be more flexible and convenient and elegant solution.
There is another thing which few users really don't mind: google-earth
is a qt-based app. chromium is a gtk-based app.

why just don't merge them with gtk, qt or both ?
and will the google-os choose the qt/gtk or another (say a google
framework/toolkit) ?

note that the 'qt' is a cross-platform application, its possible to
use it under windows/mac/linux. you can have the gnome desktop and
still being using a qt based application.

Not everything that is (technically) possible makes sense or is a good
idea.

Picasa? I deleted and banned Picasa from my computers and I will never
install Picasa again with one exception: Picasa has become a true
native Linux application!
I am a serious Linux user and I am not interested in wined Windows
software and/or .NET applications under Linux using Mono-framework or
whatever else! If I want to use Windows software I let it run in a
Windows VM within VMware on a Linux host OS.

If a company isn't willing to write native Linux applications it must
decide between two ways to go: 1) give the software to the Open Source
community 2) let it be!

For about more than 20 years now I am an experienced Microsoft/Windows
user and I am tired, really tired to use Windows software any longer!

Amazing - and yet there are serious applications of Linux which
includes the hosting of operating systems - including Windows
operating systems.

Tell me, would you simply prefer not to have the option to do
something if it isn't absolutely perfect for you? This would mean that
you shouldn't be using Compiz, which is actually less stable than
Picasa on linux ? And I'm sure that Firefox would be out of the window
for not honouring the GTK principles - it's menu doesn't sit well with
the Linux environment.

Of course, you being serious, and keen to keep Google out of Linux,
will be busy coding your alternative software which I'm confident will
offer the same functions.

Ben - please don't feed the trolls.

I'm a google user cmon, it's great for everybody, not only for windows
users.

@Jonathan Kamens: actually you are trolling these posts. please leave
them if you have no interest in this topic.


I'm not banning (and I won't ever) google applications, windows or
linux is just another OS.

I'm not talking about using either qt or gtk. it's your choise.
actually there is digikam, gwenview and another qt-based applications
simillar as this one. and there are another ones for the gtk2
environment.

I'm not trolling, just interested to know about your opinion.


thanks for your reply, ben2talk.

It seems there will be no picasa version on Chrome OS. Just a weblink
to PicasaWEB :(

[d0od]

ChromeOS will have NO native applications - everything is a webapp so
this isn't so much a disappointment as you've misunderstood. Just to
clarify - it won't have ANY version of a desktop Picasa application,
no wine, no native, no nothing. Just a webapp.

However...

I would imagine Google will launch some form of Picasa (the desktop
application) online; so that you can do a lot of what you can
currently do in the desktop application but via picasa web. Just a
hunch ;)

well,this question is before chrome os is released...
