Native Picasa?

Jbrout. IntiPunku. - A new favorite of the race. The program is implemented in PyGTK and ' clothes ' ​​like a well-known product. Google Picasa. ( for a complete lack of similarity to the binding WINE). Personally, I kind of liked the interface: buttons and other elements are grouped logically.



IntiPunku is under active development. But it should be noted, the current version 0. 3pre2 buggy. There are some nasty bugs, but I think they will release a corrected. Monitor developments will help. Developer's blog.
