Patrick, releasing an updated Picasa package for Linux would have one
great advantage for new Linux users - simplicity and ease of
installation. Unfortunately, I suspect you are correct in that Google
decided that this user segment was not of sufficient interest that the
resources (we had, for example, really great Google guides on this
forum) involved in maintaining the updates was justified. But it
wouldn't be a bad idea if, as a sort of compensation for abandoning
the project, Google could link to a how-to for Linux users which
explained how to install Picasa for Windows under Wine....
Yes, google *could* help, but....
And, concise instructions for installing picasa 3.6 from wine in linux
have been posted here recently five or six times. It is really simple
for later linux versions,
wine picasa36-setup.exe
Is updating wine from whatever was included in the last linux version
essential?
adding an alias or menu instance may pose new users more problem :^)
Aliases are what memory macros (I think that's what they were called,
anyway) were in DOS -- a tool for the lazy. I <heart> lazy!
BTW, if anybody cares, I can't see a single google video with the latest
firefox/linux. "Can't initialize plugin", but no mention of what plugin
it might want.

You need only three tools: WD-40, duct tape and a hammer. If it doesn't
move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape.
If you can't fix it with a hammer you've got an electrical problem.
