Most users will get that if they install a "Picasa not customized by Google" version of Picasa (versus: Applications:Graphics:Photography:Picasa3). What I'm referring to, as far as "desktop integration" is as I referred to by example. Let's say Picasa is running and you select a couple of photos and then select "Export" - a dialog box is displayed offering the chance to alter some settings for the Export. Click the Export button and the the new image file is written to the "export directory" [specified] and then a file manager is launched, with the contents of the "export directory" displayed. For the "Picasa customized by Google" version of Picasa, a native file manager is launched, such as Dolphin or Nautilus. For the "Picasa not customized by Google" version of Picasa, the "WINE File Manager" is launched. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
