How do you install Picasa ?

I have it installed on my other PC running Mint 13, but I haven't found it on Mageia 2.

Google stopped building a Linux port of Picasa a while back, so you must have an old version installed. Digikam and Openshot do everything Picasa do and more, you should check one of them out.

I've been using Shotwell and like it very much. I didn't know that Picasa stopped making a Linux version.

Thanks

I didn't even know Google ever built a Linux version.

One thing I have noticed using Shotwell in Mageia is that the publishing function that uploads photos to Picasa Web Albums does not let you log in, maybe its a bug that needs to be fixed, because it works in Mint and Ubuntu.

It wasn't really a LInux port, it was Picasa for Windows in some kind of Wine wrapper that let it run on Linux.

Ah, ok, as I never cared for Picasa at all I did not miss anything

Shotwell is a simpler and easier to use.
