I find that on my 64-bit Ubuntu Karmic machine, the unsupported Wine version (Picasa Version 3.6.0 (Build 95.1800, 0) for Linux) lacks some of the features I most appreciated on the supported Picasa Version 3.1.0 (70.8101, 0) for Linux, such as the ability to use CJK languages in folders and captions. Moreover, fonts are often blurry, i e, at the upper right of the Picasa window, and geotagging doesn't work (I don't know if this be due to the fact that I'm located in Europe, not North America). Still worse, not all of the photos in a given folder on my harddisk are displayed in Picasa. However, the «People» («Faces») feature works fine. I really do hope that now that Chrome/Chromium is up and running in Linux and Mac as well as Windows OS, the great Picasa for Linux developers who previously worked on this feature can return to it !...
