Picasa 3 Portable [Launcher]

So, what's happening? A reliably portable Picasa would be a wonderful thing. But it does need to be able to sense the different drive assignments to really be useful. Though I guess I could cobble together a batch file to handle it. Hmmmm.

I don't even grasp what Lazarus is but I accede to its greater importance. I just wanted to make sure that someone was expressing interest in Picasa. Pant, pant, drool, drool.

Question for when you have time. Given a regular picasa installation, will the portable version be able to automatically pick up and incorporate the existing captions, albums, etc. Or will everything have to be reindexed? Not a total disaster since that happens everytime Picasa corrupts anyhow.

Thanks for your work.

Mmm yes please!!

Having not looked at the beta forum in a while and not searched for Picasa, I did not know anyone was already working on this. I came today and planned on searching for Picasa after catching up on the forums. So happy to see I didn't have to search. Hope all goes well with the work on it. I'll download and test it when I get home.

Just dropping a note to let you know there's still plenty of interest in Picasa Portable

Take care and love your work

Hey Jammiii

Just noticed that after accessing the collage feature in Picasa It left a folder in the My Pictures folder. Can't wait to try the next version

I am interested in this portable app. Will there be an update soon?

If it has died or being postponed significantly, I'd just like to know.

Just though I should post the bugs I recall from memory. The app has some function whereby on its first run it asks to scan folders. If this could be avoided would be great but guessing that won't work. However would be good if the launcher was coded to redirect the scan to the portable device and make whatever drive letter changes are required when needed. Probably reg keys associated with this which tells Picasa if the app has been run before and if so where stuff is stored. Not sure but that'd be my guess.

hHey how can I get a really protable Picasa 3,what I mean is portable picasa with library function on HDD or pendrive and anything like portable picture library some sort of like that feature(Ireallly hope some1 could make this)

Hello,

I was having some problems when I lanuched the Picasa from the Menu, but I found out why. In the App/AppInfo/appinfo.ini, the Executable file is Picasa3Portable.exe, but in the main folder, the program creates Picasa3.exe, so if you want to fix it, just rename the exe to Picasa3Portable.exe and you'll get it working

Seems safe to say jammiii isn't able to develop Picasa Portable any more so I wanted to re-up this. Hopefully with the new launcher this shouldn't be too hard to develop.

Thanks to whoever picks it up

Anyone looking for an opportunity to test the new PortableApps.com Launcher or their own developing abilities, this is the challenge.

I have tested several attempts of Picasa Portable from several different websites and sp far not one has been successful. Either they are outright fails that simply don't start or they have portability issues such as no drive letter changing or personal data left behind.

The closest success so far comes from the Portable[Ware]Z site which cannot be linked to from this site for legal reasons. However even that attempt fails with personal data last time I tried.

If you can do it, well I tip my hat to you

The domain´s link is for sale. No files

this would be great. there is the need for a simple photo viewer and editor in one for ages here in portable apps, gimp is great but way to complex for the average user to be bothered with.

please let us all know when google has officially given permission for this app.

Does it work at all in Windows 7 64bit? Also the download link somehow seems to be defunct... if anyone has a mirror I'd be grateful!

I really miss Picasa's face recognition when I go portable.

is broken. That domain us just a placeholder now.
