One question for the original poster: since you are on fredmiranda, you are at least semi-serious about photography. But, no equivalent desktop app, only the mobile phone version. Also, my old Picasa albums are still there, although it's kind of dumbed down and clunky to view them. What was Google thinking when they got rid if it?!!Īnyway, I was just looking at my and see a timeline on the right side of the screen when I scroll through pictures. This thread reminds me how great Picasa was, and how well it integrated with it's online version.

but you are right maybe this isn't for you. It is a one time event so you can put your pass code in and it gains you access to the map database and they can push update info to you. If I need to give them access through the firewall for login then I need to know what other data they are pulling. Take my money, encourage me to register, but don't expect me to log in just so I can run the software locally. They don't need my name and email address to run software that operates off my hard drive.

Regarding the ACDSee account - it is the principle that matters. Unfortunately none of these options have what I find the best feature of Picasa - the timeline thumbnail view. Not sure what secret personal info you must give up to them when buying the software that is not already out there.ĭo you not do any editing or processing of a file? Just browse?Ĭanon supplies free software to do just that with their cameras. For free options DigiKam or DarkTable are good options.įor paid programs ACDSee is good.
