I am beginning to think we are at cross purposes here. 1. I don't disagree with you that Picasa under wine will do the job.
I do disagree with you that the combination that Google Market under Picasa for Linus Beta 3 is exactly the same as the newer version of the Windows edition. I am afraid that anyone that thinks they are the same is completely wrong. I have used the Windows version and you can do the job I want under that. I have also used the Google Linux combination Beta 3, and you cannot do the job I want under that. Having said that, I will save you the need to apologise to me by terminating my involvement of this thread. I always prefer to give people a chance to save face. Ampers.
