Folder List Organization: Collections in the flat folder display
Flat folder display and collections
Using the flat folder structure in Picasa, the folders in your Picasa Folder List will be orgnaized into various collections. Predefined collections include:
* Projects: This folder contains the different things that you create in Picasa, such as movies, screen captures, slideshows, and collages.
* iPhoto Library (Mac only): This Mac-only collection contains the most recent version of your iPhoto pictures, displayed as read-only in Picasa.
* Web albums: Photos are placed here when you download a web album from your own account that isn’t already included in Picasa.
* Downloaded albums: When you download an entire album from a friend’s Picasa Web Albums gallery, it’s placed under your friend’s name in this collection.
* Edited pictures: When you use Picasa Web Album’s ‘Edit in Picasa’ feature for a photo that isn’t present on your hard drive, the photo is placed in this collection.
* Exported pictures: Any photos that you’ve exported are filed here.
* Hidden folders: Any folders you’ve hidden are displayed in this collection.
* Other stuff: Picasa identifies files that are not photographs and places them here.
