Some screenshots would have been nice -- I assume this looks like Picasa did, but it'd be nice to be able to see it.

That said, I've been enjoying this trend of reviving software killed before its time! Someone recently did the same for Apple Aperture (RIP):

If you develop a GUI application, the first thing you have to show is a screenshot.

oof it has nothing to do with Picasa which was a library manager and looked like this https://static.filehorse.com/screenshots/photo-and-design/pi...

Frankly I just want IrfanView ported. This is 80% wasted screen space.

I'm pretty sure you can close the editor on the left and the settings on the right.

But Irfanview for Linux would be pretty sweet!

You can close both menus

Looks much more different than a Picasa rebuild.
