Rediscovering my photos

,----[ Quote ]
| Two versions available: Picasa 2.2 for Linux or Picasa 2.7 beta. Since the 
| beta version includes more features, including the ability to upload photos 
| to a Web album, that’s the one I chose. Ubuntu users can download the Debian 
| version, which installs easily and puts a handy shortcut in the Graphics 
| section of the Applications menu.    
| 
| After starting up, Picasa offered to scan my machine for images. It did this 
| fairly quickly, working in the background. Going through my 120GB hard disk 
| and an 80GB external drive that I had mounted, it indexed thousands of images 
| in 320 folders. A glitch caused some folders to be displayed more than once, 
| but this wasn’t a major problem. I just removed the redundant folders.

Picasa 2.7 for Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Google has a preview release of Picasa 2.7 for Linux. The previous version 
| launched last year didn't include the features from Picasa 2.5+ for Windows 
| (like the Picasa Web integration), so this is a good opportunity to add these 
| features to Linux.
