Picasa 3

Picasa 3 is simply incredible. So good, that it's replacing XnView as my default image viewer.

Does anyone know silent install instructions to get file types registered as well? Where are all the settings stored for the program?

Settings are stored in registry

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Picasa]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Picasa]

Configure Picasa, export what you want from registry and run installation with a .cmd file:

@echo off
start /wait picasa3-setup.exe /S
ping -n 02 127.0.0.1>nul
taskkill /f /im Picasa3.exe
start /wait regedit /s Settings.reg
exit

can you elaborate a little more on this. some of us are newbies to this and would benefit. i.e. "configure Picasa: do you mean install it completely on a test pc first, then export etc. or is the code above what we actually use

thanks very much

In order to use most of application settings, you will need to install it and configure it the way you want. Then you search for the place where the settings are stored (the registry in many cases).

So, install it, configure it and then look at those registry entries to see what you want to export.

Hi guys!

Nice viewer indeed, since v2

Well, here switches to try, founded when parsing installer code.

picasa3-setup.exe /S /L

/L seems to desactivate automatic launch of picasa.

Give a try and tell me ^^

Yeah! It works.
