Hi Bev-- Thanks. It sounds like a good routine, but are you referring to 'export' in picasa or as part of file management in linux/ubuntu (a la a left click)? The picasa I just installed for linux/ubuntu can't specify file size (unlike version I used on mac before). My linux setup allows me to select files and 'copy to' other folders with a left click but without any resizing options. As for my camera files, they just appear as another folder with the pics in them. So I'm not sure what 'export' you're referring to.
