Flat view allows you to also sort them by date: However, what if you went to Yosemite and the Carter museum in 2011 and the other parks and museums in previous years. The pictures are in the folders called Everglades, Grand Canyon etc. In Flat view, Picasa ignores the parent folders … you don't see a folder called My Pictures or a Folder called National Parks or Presidential Museums because they don't actually have any pictures inside them. The reason for Flat View is to be more flexible – it is just a View – it doesn't move your physical folders around. My recommendation is just to stick with Tree View. So, if you have your folders all organized and nested in a way that makes sense to you. Then a similar folder structure for Presidential Museums. On your computer, you can have a folder within My Pictures for National Parks, and within National Parks you can have folders for Grand Canyon, Everglades, and Yosemite. Ok, now – only Folders can have a tree structure. just to make it easy to remember: Folders are Fysical, Albums are Air. Let's say that Albums are made up of thin Air. With Picasa's Albums there are no actual pictures there. But you know that the books themselves are not in the card catalog under A – that is just a listing of the actual book and one book can be listed several times in the card catalog – under A for the title, under the author's name, under a category etc. In the card catalog you can see all the books whose title starts with an A. If you think of a real library, Albums would be like the card catalog.
There are no actual picture files located in Albums. The list is made up of pointers to the actual pictures in their folders. It is simply a listing of pictures that you want to see grouped together. If I can take a small liberty with spelling, lets say that Folders are Fysical.Īlbum: this is an imaginary grouping of pictures created by Picasa. If you uninstall Picasa it will have NO effect on your folders of pictures, they exist outside of Picasa. If you think of a real library, with books on shelves, your folders are the physical bookshelves. Picasa does NOT store your pictures, it is just your tool for working with them wherever they can be found. Picasa sees them there and works with them there. Whatever folders are specified in Picasa's Folder Manager. Usually in your My Pictures Folder, but it could be anywhere on your computer. They are two very different things.įolder: this is the location in your computer where the picture files are physically located. First lets get our words clear: Folder and Album. This is a 'muddle' that many people go thru.
