FangQ, I have several Chinese-language and Japanese-language folders
on the HDD under the Images folder on my 64-bit Ubuntu Karmic setup.
Picasa 3.6 does not crash when loading, nor does it have any problem
displaying these folders. I don't know if the difference between my
experience and yours could be due to the fact that in my case, the
folder titles were assigned using SCIM on Ubuntu, rather than the
Windows IME....
