Google has released Picasa version 2.7 for Linux, which promises many of the same improvements of the PC version, including (drum roll, please) uploading and downloading from Picasa Web Albums.
Further improvements include:
- Folder hierarchy views: Browse explorer-style through your photos
- Save edits to disk: Including batch saving
- Improvements to importing: You can now import into an existing folder.
- Better RAW support
So, with Linux getting some love, what does this mean for Mac users? Absolutely nothing. The Google camp remains mum about the possibility of Picasa for the Mac, and all we have to assure us is the over-enthusiastic promise of a t-shirt wearing publicist.

It's possible to run the Windows version on an Intel Mac using Crossover (and possibly DarWine). Still, would be nice if the full client was ported over; iPhoto is okay but I prefer how Picasa works.
