I've not kept up with this thread in awhile - but just read through the thing again to catch up. I'm hoping whoever suggested picasa 3 will have an osx version is right... I'm so fed up with iphoto right now it's not even funny. I second whoever said they don't even get to enjoy their photos because of iphoto. I agree - I don't bother. I tried to transfer some photos over from a trip this weekend, only like 55 or so (granted they were all 5mp) and iphoto threw a ridiculous fit reminescent of windows! I couldn't believe it. I'm really starting to feel like iphoto is apples common solution for the basic mac user who happens to have less than 1000 pictures, and doesn't do a whole lot with them other than email, blog, or print. It's sad. I shouldn't have to spend big bucks to get a solution on the mac that works as well as picasa does. I've got over 9000 photos, so I know that is a load but my powerbook shouldn't run like an old windows computer with ONLY iphoto importing a few more photos. If none of you have, I suggest everyone who has posted here email google and persistently request that picasa make it to osx, native. I'm considering qpict as suggested, I downloaded release 7 and will semi review it on here if others are interested in a comparison - it would be nice if current users of qpict would do the same
