| 458447 | 2006-05-28 06:05:00 | New product...I hope I am not repeating this from another post..forgive me, I am old and frail... news.com.com here's some of the particulars: Google has made three different package managers for Linux download: Red Hat/Fedora/Suse/Mandriva x86; Debian/Ubuntu x86; and a self-extracting installer for any x86 Linux distribution. Google says that testing has confirmed Picasa will support Debian Sarge and Etch, Fedora Core 4 and 5, Linspire 5, Mandriva 2006 and 2005, Red Hat Workstation 3 and Workstation, Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger), and SuSE 9.3 and 10.0. |

| 458448 | 2006-05-28 08:22:00 | Ohh - that looks interesting :) Just having a read up about it, and the Linux package includes Wine as it is basically the Windows version - details (picasa.google.com). I also note that Picassa has been tested to work on the packaged version of Wine, so I wonder what happens if you update your Wine? |

It can blog, e-mail, post, save and collate and adjust effects, sharpen, turn, reverse, b&w, everything that many people pay a lot of $$ for . When/if you get it, it will be able to scan your whole system for any videos or pictures . . . pretty much any extension is valid, and it will list them in folders that you can delete from Picassa or even totally delete them from the archives wherever they exist in your puter . Just be careful to not delete them from the whole system . . . . many icons will be lost and backgrounds and image files for other programs are going to be found . . . just don't delete them from the whole system, only Picassa . |

| 458453 | 2006-05-29 04:11:00 | Can Picassa view svg's? I checked the Wikipedia comments, but still unclear . Not sure about that . . . maybe? It seems to work on most things pretty good though . . . . . . . . . |

| 458454 | 2006-05-29 05:06:00 | To put it simply, svg's (Scalable Vector Graphics) are.... scalable vector graphics. Since they are based on vectors, and not pixels, you can resize them all you like, and never lose quality. Why I ask, is because I have a graphics package from http://www.openclipart.org/ which are svg's. Yes, each picture has a png thumbnail thing as well, but I wanted to be able to browse the svg's. |
