after trying different things, I finally figured out the error was due to the presence of a few Chinese named folders.
The folders was named in GBK (cp936) encoding (which is the default encoding for Chinese for Windows) as was copied from windows partition. I am using zh.CN_UTF-8 locale in Ubuntu, so it shows as garbled text in my file explorer (however, it doesn't crash). Unfortunately, Picasa 3 seems not able to handle this and crash every single time when it starts to scan this folder (and sadly, the scan starts every time). This should be easy to duplicate and I wish it can be fixed in the next release (whenever it will be). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
