Barry,
Your script solved my problem of Picasa not successfully opening my
default email client (Thunderbird) but the newly opened message did
not contain any attachments - i.e. - the picture I had selected to
email was not attached to the email nor was there the usual Picasa
email message "you have been sent 1 picture" or whatever it usually
says.
I noticed that the script writes to the "tmp" directory in my "home"
directory so I looked and turns out I didn't HAVE a "tmp" directory in
the "home" directory so I created one there and now everything works
correctly.
Just wanted to point this out in case anyone else was having this
problem.
Robbie,
Thanks for your feedback! If you want you can change the location of the
temporary file in the variable assignment - you could just point it to
your home folder. (I will edit the original now I know - thanks)
tmpstr=/home/"$USER"/picasa.txt
In Mandriva there is a /home/<user>/tmp by default, so I simply used it
'cos it was there.
If my bash scripting was better I am sure it would not need to use a
temporary file, but as it worked OK I really did not think it was worth
the time & effort of figuring out a better way!
BTW - what should the permissions be on the "tmp" directory? I set it
to full permissions to test but it probably doesn't need that?
Well, mine is 700
I'm glad it's working for you,
Cheers,
Barry

So, I wanted to send the images via another client (ctrl+e). No other

You can use your default email client in Linux using
picasa-hook-email.sh script which you need to write yourself.
I have written one forThunderbirdwhich performs seamlessly.

I should also have mentioned that kmail and the default Gnome mail
client (the name of which I forget) are both supported out of the box
without needing the script.
