Picasa
 Picasa is a
software
application for organizing and editing digital photos.
Each time Picasa is launched, it automatically locates all
your
pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual
albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize.
Picasa for Linux runs the current Windows version of Picasa
using a carefully tested version of Wine, an open-source implementation
of the Windows application-programming interface (API).
