Among the various bits of software for handling jpeg files, is there anything that is equivalent to picassa (which I believe only exists in windoze versions).
I want to be able to process photos (remove red-eye, etc) and store them in albums like picassa does. Thanks....

Yes, thanks, I'll keep a watch on the linux version, it seems to be a developing situation. I was not aware of it, because a search for picasa came up with a page that only mentioned windoze.

It turns out that picasa requires Wine. I have another set-up using Kubuntu and Wine appears in its repository, so I downloaded it and picasa, immediately it set itself up and located my photos, overall it works well. No such luck with Vector: Wine isn't in the repository but I located it and downloaded it as a tgz file. Now I don't know what to do with it. I feel picasa may be a dead end on Vector, but it would be interesting to know whether there is anyone out there using it, and if so, how to set it up...
Thanks...

Right Click on the tgz > Install Package in the context menu. Another choice is open a terminal, login as root and issue installpkg <name_of_the_pkg>.tgz
The 5.9 repo is still young, wine will be there surely.

I've been working on a wine package off and on (holiday slowed me down). Not quite ready as I'm experiencing weird things.

There is also a red-eye removal plugin for The GIMP if you (or anyone else) is interested. It works pretty well.

the picasa linux package from google comes with wine. I just downloaded it and it installed without problems. |

Thanks uelsk8s, that's very interesting ! I didn't realise picasa was shipping it's own Wine, and I've now got that. Hopefully I've got the correct version of picasa on my desktop, but I can't get past the Warning that the prog has no description
Thanks....

I've pretty much given up trying to install picasa on Vector, which is a pity as it was so easy to set up on Kubuntu.
I love Vector for its speed and slight quirkiness, but once you get bogged down in .tgz, .tlz, .tbz, or .tar you need to know a lot more than I do. However, any more help with picasa would be very welcome....I've got Wine installed (I think), but beyond that....

It's pretty simple. I got the stable version of Picasa (2.2) here http://dl.google.com/linux/standalone/picasa-2.2.2820-5.i386.binThen I ran 'sh picasa-2.2.2820-5.i386.bin' and accepted the default options. Picasa then ran with /opt/picasa/bin/picasa. |

OK, so I download the binary file and it appears in my desktop. Then I go to "run program" and tick 'run in terminal' and type in the sh...thingy, click "run", there's a flash and nothing else happens, no options or anything, so I'm still stuck....

Did you download the file to your desktop? That's most likely the problem.
