看到今天Picasa(当然是Linux版的)放出了新版更新，第一时间就去下载来升级了。
一看菜单跟原来不一样了，多了一项“Picasa Font Settings”，心中一阵暗喜：难道已经考虑中文的问题了？迫不及待打开一看，果然，以前不支持中文的问题得到了解决，现在的菜单、扫描文件夹都支持中文了。只是那个字体么……，赶紧去那个Font Settings里将中文字体换成文泉驿正黑，好看了不少。且现在也可以输入中文了，这个改进还是比较大的。
传说已经支持了Picasa Web Album，但我不用，所以没实验。大概是beta的缘故，扫描照片的时候死过一次，不过后来就正常了，没有再死过。原因不明。 New Features: 新功能：
Upload to Picasa Web Albums
上传至Picasa网络相册
Use the new "Web Album" button to post your best photos online to share with friends and family.
使用新的"网络相册"按钮上传你的优秀照片，与朋友和家人在线分享。(令狐注：我用Flickr，不用它。)
Save edits to disk
将编辑结果保存到磁盘
Save edits, undo saves, and revert to the original file with ease. We've got batch saving too! Picasa will even match the jpeg quality of the original. Right-click on your saved files to try the new "locate original" feature.
你可以方便地保存编辑结果，撤销保存，恢复到原始文件。我们甚至支持批量保存！Picasa甚至可以匹配原始图片的jpeg质量。右键点击你保存的图片，试试新的“定位原始图片”功能。（令狐注：不太明白，我都是用导出功能滴……）
Folder hierarchy views
层次文件夹视图
Browse through folders Explorer-style. Use the button at the top of your Albums List to try them out.
使用资源管理器风格浏览文件夹。使用你的相册列表顶端的按钮来尝试它。(令狐注：这个功能有时很有用！)
Improvements to Import
增强的导入
Import into an existing folder- we know you've wanted this feature for a long time! We've made importing photos from your camera faster too.
导入到一个已存在的文件夹──我们知道你已经盼望这个功能很久了！我们也让从照相机导入照片的速度变得更快了。(令狐注：当时因为在我的旧机器上，Picasa慢得像蜗牛，而F-Spot的擅自改动文件名的做法让我很不爽，于是我自己用Python写了一个照片导入脚本──现在习惯了，发反而不去用这些软件自带的导入功能了。但是──我曾经很喜欢Picasa的导入功能)
Better RAW support
更好的RAW支持
Now you can work with RAW files from the Canon 30D, the Nikon D200, Adobe DNG files, and more.
现在我们能搞定来自佳能30D，尼康D200的RAW格式文件，Adobe DNG文件以及其它很多东西。(令狐注：这个我喜欢。RAW真的很有用，相信我！)
Many other enhancements
大量其它增强
Larger thumbnails, better caption editing, ability to configure the row of buttons, special "Starred Photos" album, search by ISO and focal length.
更大的缩略图，更好的标题编辑，配置底排按钮的能力。特殊的“加星标的照片”相册，按ISO和镜头焦距搜索。(令狐注：最后一个我挺喜欢，嘿嘿。可惜……，没有试出来 -_-|| )
Known Issues: 已知问题：
The system tray does not close with loss of focus (if you bring up the media detector menu, you have to either start picasa or stop the media detector to get the menu to go away)
任务栏图标不会在失去焦点时关闭(如果你唤出了媒体检测器的菜单，你就只能要么启动Picasa，要么停止媒体检测器来让这个菜单消失了)
Picasa notices don't stay on a given desktop. Picasa pops up notices to let you know it's found new photos or has added photos to its library. These notices come on the current desktop; some users would rather they stayed on the same desktop that Picasa itself was on.
Picasa提醒窗口不会出现在指定的桌面。Picasa会弹出一个小提醒窗口让你知道它正在搜索新的照片或正在将照片加入照片库中。这些提醒窗口将会出现在当前桌面；有些用户希望它们出现在Picasa本身所在的那个桌面。
Several BlogThis! features do not work properly with Picasa's embedded browser window, such as spell check, the palette selector, and new account URL tester.
有些BlogThis!功能还不能跟Picasa内嵌的浏览器窗口很好的配合工作。比如拼写检查，工具栏选择(???)和新账号URL检测器(???)。
Music playback during slideshow doesn't work.
幻灯播放时的背景音乐还不能用。(令狐注：啊~~~~，糟糕的消息！)
If you have an NFS mounted home directory, the performance may be poor. Picasa relies heavily on a lot of files in the ~/.picasa directory, and if the home directory is slow, then Picasa will be slow. You can work around this by making a directory in /var/opt/picasa/$USERNAME/ that corresponds to your username. You have to have full rights to that directory.
如果你使用NFS挂载的home目录，Picasa的性能将会变得很糟糕。Picasa十分依赖大量~/.picasa目录下的文件，如果home目录很慢，Picasa也会很慢。一个间接的解决方法是，根据你的用户名，创建一个/var/opt/picasa/$USERNAME/ 目录，你必须有这个目录的完全读写权限。
A few print providers (namely Photobox) do not work correctly.
一些打印服务(其实我说的就是Photobox)无法正确工作。
On multi-monitor displays, some interface elements do not display correctly. We currently do not have full Xinerama support.
在多监视器的显示模式下，一些界面元素将不能正确显示。我们还没有完整的支持Xinerama(令狐注：X的一种多显示器模式，将界面扩展到几个显示器上去)。(令狐注：幸亏我不用Xinerama模式呀~~~)
Album uploaded as 'Public' album without selecting any of 'Public/Unlisted' radio buttons in Picasa Web Album dialog. (令狐注：这个不翻译了，我又不用，这些东西也搞不清楚什么是什么。)
Slideshow and Timeline do not show full-screen images when running on a 24-bit depth X server, even if that setting is checked in the Options dialog.
“幻灯显示”和“按时间顺序”不会在24位色深的X server上全屏显示图像，即使你在选项对话框里设置里勾选了这个选项。(令狐注：啊~~~~~，真是一个相当糟糕的消息)
