How about taking the effort to fix the Linux version (beta) of Picasa
with the result that Linux users don't have to install Wine to run
Windows applications.
You are mistaken. There is no such thing as a
"Picasa for Linux", i.e., there is no Linux *native*
version of Picasa.
The "Linux version (beta) of Picasa" as you mention
*is* the native Windows Picasa application, with a
customized (and bundled with) version of WINE.
The download found here: http://picasa.google.com/linux/
and the package most folks see in their Linux distro's
software application package management system
*is* the Windows platform-specific version of Picasa with
WINE (customized by Google) bundled.
A number of folks in this forum recommend ditching that
version of Picasa, then install the latest version of WINE
specific to their distro, then install the latest version of
Picasa (Windows platform).
The issues of running Picasa on the recent versions of
the Fedora distro are specific to Fedora.
I am using slackware 12 and am unable to update to a newer version with
the hardware I have. Yes, we've tried. Many times. I am unable to
install a newer version of wine than whatever came with the latest
version of picasa (3.0 beta) that included wine. Yes, we've tried.
Can I install the latest version of Picasa for windows with the older
version of wine without losing anything? I know the last time I
upgraded Picasa I had to completely redo whatever the 'folder manager'
is supposed to do, which was a task I do NOT want to do again.
And is there any REAL benefit in speed, capability, etc. with the newer
version(s)? I don't care about more extensive 'sharing' capabilities,
but being able to do perspective correction would be really nice....
