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的照片管理系統，剛才提出的跨越式從kludgy和緩慢freebie替代2.6向幸好快得多共更專業的2.7版，所以我沒有聽到。 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，命中幫助菜單上和下降， “檢查更新在線”很可能會離開您的安裝2.6版石冷。 A little info dialog box will more than likely appear saying, “This application is up to date”.一點信息對話框將以上可能出現的話說： “這項申請是直至目前為止” 。 Well, there surely are, at least according to Amit Agarwal over on the好，有一定是，至少根據阿米特agarwal超過對 Digital Inspiration數字的啟示 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的誰提醒我要升級和新特點，我們失去了對諸如Google Video的支持和減少RAM的間接費用。 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!以及作為原料處理引擎，支持更多的相機和改進的顏色，一種新的色彩引擎“微調”的修正，和一些Google具體的東西，如支持Google照片屏幕保護程序和改進的BlogThis ！ reliability.可靠性。

Anyway, the only solution, a kludge in itself, isto shut Picasa and visit the無論如何，唯一的解決辦法， kludge在本身， isto關閉Picasa和訪問 Picasa在Picasa site itself so you can download it direct and install over the top of the old version.網站本身，所以，您也可以下載它直接安裝在頂部的舊版本。 It’sa mere 4.6 Mb download so should not take more than a minute if you have a broadband connection.這僅僅4.6 MB下載，所以不應該採取更超過一分鐘，如果您有一個寬帶連接。 Do a quick virus scan (just in case), and then to the install.做一個快速的病毒掃描（僅在案件） ，然後安裝。

It should all be slick and clean, except for perhaps a minor Firewall alert, which you can hopefully check and okay.這都應該是光滑和清潔，除可能輕微防火牆警報，您可以希望檢查和好。 You may see another dialog box telling you that a free update to Picasa is available, and asking if you want to download it.您可能會看到另一個對話框，告訴您一個免費的Picasa更新可用，並要求如果您想要下載。 This seems wholly illogical, but say Yes, download now and another minute later you should see Picasa 2 downloading and autoinstalling again.這似乎是完全不合邏輯，但說的話，現在就下載和另一個分鐘後，您應該會看到Picasa 2的下載和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，當我重新啟動Picasa中，並期待在關於它告訴我，我是在2.2版。 So I had to try again and that took me back to 2.6.所以我必須再試一次，並帶我回到2.6 。 Hopefully, you will have better luck with it than me.但願你們將會有更好的運氣，與它比我。 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”.我似乎停留在一個永無止境的迴路的“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)我懷疑該解決方案將被完全格式化我的硬盤並重新安裝我的操作系統，或者，那麼激進，將卸載Picasa ，重新安裝最新下載，然後重新對我的整個圖像採集（再次）
