Comments on: notes on Picasa for Linux http://www.digitalramble.com/2006/08/30/68/ surveyor of the foothills, valleys and occasional sheer cliff drops of the world of computer programming...

Linux Picasa apparently requires the files to be in /opt/picasa/desktop regardless of what the $PATH might be set to, which is very irritating, but there you go. There is nothing especially useful in the initial template version, it's all comments and uninformative at that. Depending on your desktop (kde, gnome, etc), you would add one of <code> #/usr/bin/konqueror --profile filemanager "$1" #nautilus "${1%%$(basename "$1")}" </code> Uncomment the one you wish to use (remove the initial <code>#</code>). Alok also suggested <code> #konqueror --select "$1″ </code> which will leave highlighted the particular file selected from Picasa. --Cindy I believe I stated the files were in /opt/picasa/desktop/*

/opt/picasa/desktop/picasa-hook-filemanager.sh.template

There is nothing especially useful in the initial template version, it’s all comments and uninformative at that. Depending on your desktop (kde, gnome, etc), you would add one of

#/usr/bin/konqueror --profile filemanager "$1"
#nautilus "${1%%$(basename "$1")}"

Uncomment the one you wish to use (remove the initial #). Alok also suggested


#konqueror --select "$1″

which will leave highlighted the particular file selected from Picasa.

Those used when you click on "Export as a web page". I knew where to find them on windows; but with ubuntu, I can't find them. Any help would be fairly appreciated ! Hello,

I m looking for the template files location on the file system. Those used when you click on “Export as a web page”. I knew where to find them on windows; but with ubuntu, I can’t find them.

Any help would be fairly appreciated !
