Yesterday Google released Picasa 3.5. This new version have some cool features, as face recognition and geotag.
Is a pitty that google doesn’t take that serious Linux users and didn’t release the 3.5 for Linux.
Trying to figure out a way of making it work, the only way I found is using Wine (yes the windows emulator). I know is not the best way but at least we can try the software and I should say works perfect in Wine (is not confirmed but I read in many places that the Linux version of Picasa is also using an emulator).
How to install it, is really easy.
First we need Wine.
sudo apt-get install wine
After Wine is installed, we need to download the Windows version of Picasa here: https://garridodiaz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/picasa35-setup.exe.
Once is download simply double click the downloaded file, It should open an installation and follow the steps.
As I said before works good, found my face in my scanned ID.
