Update Picasa Painlessly更新Picasa painlessly

Google’s photo management system just made the leap from the kludgy and slow freebie alternative 2.6 to the thankfully much faster and altogether more professional version 2.7, so I hear. Google的照片管理系统，刚才提出的跨越式从kludgy和缓慢freebie替代2.6向幸好快得多共更专业的2.7版，所以我没有听到。 Unfortunately, hitting the Help menu and dropping down to “Checking for Updates Online” will likely leave your installation of version 2.6 stone cold.不幸的是，命中帮助菜单上和下降， “检查更新在线”很可能会离开您的安装2.6版石冷。 A little info dialog box will more than likely appear saying, “This application is up to date”.一点信息对话框将以上可能出现的话说： “这项申请是直至目前为止” 。 Well, there surely are, at least according to Amit Agarwal over on the好，有一定是，至少根据阿米特agarwal超过对 Digital Inspiration数字的启示 blogspot who alerted me to the upgrade and to the new features we are missing out on such as Google Video support and reduced RAM overheads. BlogSpot的谁提醒我要升级和新特点，我们失去了对诸如Google Video的支持和减少RAM的间接费用。 As well as a RAW processing engine, with support for more cameras and improved color, a new color engine for “tuning” fixes, and some Google specific stuff such as support for Google Photos Screensaver and Improved BlogThis!以及作为原料处理引擎，支持更多的相机和改进的颜色，一种新的色彩引擎“微调”的修正，和一些Google具体的东西，如支持Google照片屏幕保护程序和改进的BlogThis ！ reliability.可靠性。

Anyway, the only solution, a kludge in itself, isto shut Picasa and visit the无论如何，唯一的解决办法， kludge在本身， isto关闭Picasa和访问 Picasa在Picasa site itself so you can download it direct and install over the top of the old version.网站本身，所以，您也可以下载它直接安装在顶部的旧版本。 It’sa mere 4.6 Mb download so should not take more than a minute if you have a broadband connection.这仅仅4.6 MB下载，所以不应该采取更超过一分钟，如果您有一个宽带连接。 Do a quick virus scan (just in case), and then to the install.做一个快速的病毒扫描（仅在案件） ，然后安装。

It should all be slick and clean, except for perhaps a minor Firewall alert, which you can hopefully check and okay.这都应该是光滑和清洁，除可能轻微防火墙警报，您可以希望检查和好。 You may see another dialog box telling you that a free update to Picasa is available, and asking if you want to download it.您可能会看到另一个对话框，告诉您一个免费的Picasa更新可用，并要求如果您想要下载。 This seems wholly illogical, but say Yes, download now and another minute later you should see Picasa 2 downloading and autoinstalling again.这似乎是完全不合逻辑，但说的话，现在就下载和另一个分钟后，您应该会看到Picasa 2的下载和autoinstalling再次。

Unfortunately, when I restarted Picasa and looked in the About it told me I was at version 2.2.不幸的是，当我重新启动Picasa中，并期待在关于它告诉我，我是在2.2版。 So I had to try again and that took me back to 2.6.所以我必须再试一次，并带我回到2.6 。 Hopefully, you will have better luck with it than me.但愿你们将会有更好的运气，与它比我。 I seem to be stuck in a never-ending loop of “Do I want to update?”, “Update”, oh by the way, “Do you want to update”.我似乎停留在一个永无止境的回路的“我要更新？ ” ， “更新”哦，所的方式， “你想更新” 。

I suspect the solution will either be to totally format my hard disk and reinstall my OS, or maybe less radical would be to uninstall Picasa, reinstall the latest download, and then reindex my entire image collection (again)我怀疑该解决方案将被完全格式化我的硬盘并重新安装我的操作系统，或者，那么激进，将卸载Picasa ，重新安装最新下载，然后重新对我的整个图像采集（再次）
