I want to use Picasa desktop app instead of the tedious & clunky web interface to share a couple of photos.
Every time I launch Picasa it proceeds to open an annoying pop-up/tool-tip which flicks through every file on my HD using <=95% of CPU. I don't want this so I click the X. It appears again. I try to drag it somewhere less annoying onscreen but it pings back. I look in prefs for an option to turn it off. I give up and quit app until a new build comes out, which I download and repeat the above.
WTF?! I understand Google can't be as cool as Apple - iPhoto isn't perfect by any means but at least it looks nice and 'just works'.
I want to launch Picasa, not have it go through everything, not have 1000's of random pics and HD cruft on display in the list, and then perhaps drag in a few photos and upload them.
Any idea of if that is possible? </rant>
1Thanks a lot, after writing the rant above I found you can reaccess the scanning list via Tools > Folder Manager, and then choose "Remove from Picasa" for all or some folders. But a mod deleted when I posted it. – MachineElf – 2011-03-06T23:23:12.173
Mmhmm, just make sure to accept one of the answers so the question doesn't appear as "unanswered." – NReilingh – 2011-03-07T04:07:24.297
