A weekend party or vacation trip would have no problem generating
100-500 which would also be a *major-pain-in-the-ass* to deal with in
Picasa3.
I don't agree : I use Picasa 3.6 with the regular Ubuntu's wine
without problem, and on each of my trip, I come back with 500-700
pictures that are flawlessly integrated with my albums, faces are
well recognized and sorted (well it's rather long at first run ...)
but it is efficient.
500-700 "RAW" photos?
That's the point : jpeg photos....
:^(   Maybe I missed something somewhere.  My comment was that it was a
problem workiing with a large amount of "RAW" files due to one-at-a-time
processing.  A "normal" four session weekend for me generates 1600 to
2000 shots and a tournament weekend will double that.  To process those
number of files with Picasa3 would take much too much time.  But even
with jpeg files, 500-700 would require much time if you were doing
something different to each photo besides just cataloging them.  I'm
talking of using Picasa3 as an editor, not just a cataloger.

You are right, I use Picasa mainly as a cataloger, and very few editing : red eyes mainly and some cropping.
And I don't use raw files because :

1- the raw format of my Olympus is not well recognized
2- I always have a batch for renaming all shots after the Exif date/time info
3- I have a batch for geo-tagging my shots with my GPS.

And after that, I use Picasa to sort my shots to albums, do face tagging, share the albums...

For more elaborated editing, I work with TheGimp.

For these purposes, Picasa is OK for me, and I agree that for mass modifications, Picasa is rather weak.

But for cataloging, I prefer Picasa to Fspot .
