The final version of the photo management software Picasa 2.7 for Linux is available. Now you can import images from your disk and publish them in the web. Besides this long awaited feature Picasa 2.7 for Linux offers:
* a better and faster import of images
* added support for the cameras Canon EOS 30D and Nikon D200
* support for Adobe DNG format
* bigger previews
* better search for camera details like ISO or focal values
Video support is still missing in the Linux version. Renember Picasa is not a native Linux application, its ported to Linux using the Winelib. You can download it for various distributions including Debian/ Ubuntu.
