Fixed or not, you will still be using an inferior product, a lessor version with fewer features and enhancements and unfixed bugs. Well, mayge a few new bugs too, but that comes with the territory :^). Installing the newer (3.6) made for windows version in Linux is *almost* as simple as the provided 3.0 beta "windows version with accompanying adapted wine to run on Linux". *And I am unsure of the nature of the "problem" that has already been fixed? -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
