PicasaExt – Access Picasa albums from Windows Explorer

PicasaExt is a free addon for Windows Explorer that provides better integration with Google's image editor and manager Picasa.

To make PicasaExt work, you must have Picasa installed on the computer. PicasaExt reads the ini files that Picasa uses to store information and makes them available on Windows explorer. Currently, the only thing it does is show starred pictures in Windows Explorer, but we hope there will be more features in future releases.

  1. This is pretty awesome, but it seems to me any files you have in Picasa, you more than likely have on your local drive. So why would you use it? I guess it would work if you had files from work that you couldn't rightly store on your home computer, but you needed quick access. For instance, I worked with a information officer who maintained a Picasa album for the district. It was fine and dandy for him to have photos of students on his working machine at school, but wouldn't have been so fine and dandy for them to be stored on a his home machine.

  2. This software is for managing photos on Picasa through explorer, not for viewing photos. You can upload/download photos by simple copy pasting just like you do it on your local hard drive. See Skydrive explorer and Gladinet to understand why it's useful.

  3. I have installed it, but I don't see my picasa albums in explorer. Am I not looking in the right spot? I do see the star overlay on my favorite pictures so installation presumably went well.

    By the way, is there a way to turn the star overlay off? I'm primarily interested in the ability to access my picasa albums through explorer.

  4. I'm the developer of PicasaExt, and this article is completely incorrect- it does not allow you to access your Picasa albums. The only thing it does is show a star overlay on the photos that you have starred in Picasa.

  6. Hi Andrew, I did not see a star overlay on the photos I've starred in Picasa after I install the Picasaext. Is there any configuration I need to adjust? My OS is Win7 Ult. Thanks.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
