Your review gives impression Picasa on Linux isn't any good. I sure disagree with that. I first used Picasa on Windows, loved it and installed it on my Ubuntu 10.04 where it now runs great. It even uses 10.04 left-side window buttons as was adopted in 10.04 theme/windows. So I don't see how it ignores desktop settings. Maybe Google is careful about color settings because it is a photo app where color is critical.
F-spot isn't nearly as good as Picasa in my opinion. Consider also that Picasa includes Picasa-web with sync'ing, geo-tag, face recognition and so much that f-spot doesn't do. For me I can't live without the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on Picasa :) I tried the touted digiKam program too which has the least features of all three. Picasa would be better if they did a native linux port, but for now I am happy and the price is perfect! Be sure to run Picasa 3.6 and don't use the standard 3.5 Google is suggesting. I don't know why they recommend that and make that default Picasa install. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
