Anyone wanna tell me why the link is there for me in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer? Even after refreshing.

Thats strange to me.

All merged up, Picasa is an awesome piece of software :blink: I can't believe it's free now :blink: Check it out a bit more here in my thread from a while back:

Its a great little program, my only issue with it was that it wouldnt do full screen mode on my parents ****ty i810 system (which is our main photo manager system). Oh well, Photoshop Album works alright.

Maybe I'll try the newer version and see if it works.

Google is awesome for making this puppy free!!!

Yea I noticed quite often when I went to google.com it would send me to google.ca (I live in Canada).

They must redirect to your 'local' site based on IP or something for whatever reason.

I love the DirectX interface it gives me hints of what Longhorn should bring--everything about Picasa ooozes smooooothness. :D

I did notice though that it has a problem updating the thumbnail display if the program is open and you save new images to a folder that?s being watched. I saved one image and it updated fine, the next one I added didn?t show up until I restarted the app, even though I said to refresh from folder. I hope Google management really gets development moving on this; it?s got such great potential and is already an awesome tool as is but could be better. The Picasa forums are still active too, which is a good sign.

Picasa is already an awesome app, and I only see it getting better now.

When Google took over Blogger from Pyra Labs, a good number of superb features were added to it, and the interface was completely revamped for the better.

Google rocks. :)

w000tttt!!!

i've been using picasa ...

and now it's gonna be GOOGLIZED!

hope it has some kind of unique integreation feature with Gmail.

[GameOverRob]

its guuud

[Yazoo]

imagine the google search engine for your photo collection :drool:

[Chode]

Nice software, but I have one or two hassles/problems with it.

1) After scanning my collections, it was using 150MEGS of memory!!!!!! After restarting the app, it is now only using 30megs, but ouch nonetheless

2) The ability to merge two albums together is limited by their names been vertically adjacent. I cannot figure out how to merge two albums with very different names :(

[aoeu]

Wow, what can I say. I'm totally blown away by Picasa, its truly an awesome piece of software; I wonder how much longer it'll be free though.

[Banzai]

cool, i read in a mag a year or so ago saying that one day google would move into the web based image storage world

[hahacar]

So will we see blogger offering foto attachment too in near future?

Note: at present we need to download HELLO to upload photos to a blog.

im glad that people are knowing about picasa now :D

[Schmoove]

Been using this since its first release and it is a great app.

Stay tuned since version 2.0 is comming very very soon!!

[Detroit]

Now i don't have to pay for this thing :D

[Toxikk Veteran]

you dont have to pay?

i did. i better get benefits!

DUDE. IT IS FREE. WTF.

grrrrrr blasphemy.

[Spyder Veteran]

great, i love this software.

i thought oyu didnt like it spydie?!

i like it. just wish it did 2 things differently. looking forward to v2 to see if they make the changes.

as for free.. i'm guessing they're making 1.6 available free to all so they get people interested in the product. v2 will likely be a pay-for product or alternatively, a free v2 and a pay-for pro v2.
