I;'m not too familair with Picassa, you might like Kavasoft's Shoebox app. It's not too bad, but it's kinda slow (about as fast as iPhoto), and for the features it does have $29 is a bit steep.

I'm an ACDSee fan (Mac version no longer supported, I guess). Shoebox is the only app I found that you can use "categories" with, which I sorely need. I draw as a hobby, and keep thousands (85,000+) of photo references. It's so much easier just keeping them in little "albums". iPhoto is ok for photos if you got small collections, and photos for keepsake memories and that jazz; ultimately reasons seemingly the exact opposite of mine. I collect drawings, paintings, animated GIF's, etc. I keep 'em just for reference, not (usually) to enjoy, but I do downloads lotsa good photography stuff now and then.

I just use finder. I just wish Finder could display more info in thumbnail mode besides just the dimensions (?).

Good luck, I wish I could help other than trying Shoebox. I'll keep posted to this thread though, I've been looking for something now for almost a year. Nothing. I love my Mac Mini but geez, why do diffcult to find a good media browser app?
