I upgraded from 3.8 to 3.9 and now if I try signing into my Google account; I only get a blank screen. Also as with 3.8, Geotagging is not working. I'm using Linux 11.10. Installed Picasa using Wine. On a previous post for 3.8; I was told that Google Earth needed to be installed in the system in order to use geotagging. I have GE installed. Still nothing. Please help!

Forget 3.9 it isn't going to work.

In terms of geotagging I had asked if you meant adding geotagging manually or from the camera data?

To do it manually I know one requires Google Earth installed, but other than that don't know what else is required as I haven't bothered to go through with setting it up -- It's just as easy to do it through Picasa-Web.

That's because Google changed the authentication mechanism in Picasa
3.9:

Picasa 3.8 and 3.9 do not recognize Google Earth even when you have
installed the Windows version of the program via Wine. All internet
connectivity in 3.9 is broken, it is not even possible to upload some
photos into your web albums. The only working feature that still
prevents Picasa from being dumped on my computer in favour of DigiKam
is the great face recognition capability.

What are the dependencies for digikam -- It's a KDE app isn't it? So thinking a lot of mono and/or KDE libs required?

Note that much of the above is required by the installed system and

It is relatively fast on my i7 w/12GB and NVidia GeForce GTS 450

I don't run KDE so was just wondering. Looks like it really just needs some Qt stuff, realistically. Can't see why a PIM would be required. lol  I'll see what kind of deps Debian apt wants to install, if it's not too expensive I'll try it out. Hope as hell it's not as encompassing as yours. Please don't take that the wrong way. ;)

I don't understand kdepimlibs4 but they do contain holidays so maybe it is
for creating calendars ???

And this rpmlib.... appear off the map but it is an rpm system. I do not
know how they relate.....

and debian may be rather different :^)

a short trail should be easy to install via apt and then remove if you
find it distasteful.

personally, I have become addicted to bibble. I shoot mostly raw and I
make one pass thru a group of files, then tell bibble to apply all the
settings when I have finished editing. Bibble then converts to jpg or
tiff applying my changes in the process. I end up with my original raw
plus a side-car file containing the changes and the finished product.

conversion usually takes about .7-.8 seconds each file (12mb nef's).

I find that I seldom use picasa any more, but do keep current :^)

Same here, only because I have to support some family members. ;)

I tested this feature and in my eyes it looks unusable. DigiKam
detects the presence of faces in pictures and marks the face areas
with rectangles but it does not recognize any people in new
photograpies. That is not exactly a replacement for Picasa, i think.

No it wouldn't be; that's more like tagging. Gotta admit the Picasa facial recog isn't too bad once trained.

On my Fedora 16 x86_64 machine, I got Picasa 3.9
working more or less (not fully tested). However, I each time
I try to access the Order Prints menu, it crashes. I am using
Shutterfly which AFIK is not in digiKam (yet?), but I can use the
Windows-based Shutterfly upload program under wine and
it seems to work (for example to batch upload a directory
of 100 or 200 pictures).

Any ideas on fixing the upload issue?
