I tried it to put a picture in my profile, but had a terrible time with it and eventually gave up. I was able to post a picture onto a post on my other blog relatively easy though.
I looked at it a while back but couldn't find an answer to what file formats it supports. Seems a fair bet that it doesn't support raw files, which means it'd be useless for about 80% of my stuff.
hm, this (raw image reading) may have been updated with the latest version (i've only been using this for 3 days). their support page seems to suggest they support some raw format images:
"Picasa does support most RAW format images. RAW from the following camera manufacturers are supported:
Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sony, Fuji, Pentax, Kodak, and the Canon 20D.
Picasa does not support every form of RAW file. If you have not already tried using Picasa to import RAW images from your camera, please install the software and try it out."
The thing I don't like about Bridge is the lack of a non-thumbnail browse option. It takes a while to generate thumbnails the first time you browse to a folder, and it takes a while to browse through folders with lots of files in them.
I tried picasa for a little while - wasn't quite as robust as I was hoping for, and it generates little ini files in every folder it catalogues. For basic GIFs and JPGs I haven't found anything that beats the broswer built into Windows =p

hm, i didn't see where I could put a picture in my profile from picasa. I just did it through blogger.

Also, I <3 Adobe Bridge CS2.

Adobe Bridge looks pretty sweeet too. can i download it if i don't have cs2?
Dang you found a lot more than I did, and I did look, too!
You can only get bridge by buying Photoshop CS2 or the full suite.
woo, i asked around and ppl at work are thinking of getting cs2. so it'll be 3 years from now before we get cs2! woohoo!
$user eq "newb" ? $picasa="cool" : use fancyAdobeGarbage;
