Picasa3 help

[Dangermouse]

At the advice of my father, I am currently using Picasa3 for my picture storage.

Normally files saved on Picassa will be duplicated in "my pictures".

I have just found that the last 3 downloads I have done have created empty files in "my pictures

Any ideas? I have looked at the settings on Picassa expecting to find a "do not share" tab or something similar with no sucess.

Do you mean the filenames are there but they are 0 bytes, or the folder is empty?

One of two things is happening.

If I go direct to my Documents, my Pictures. I can see the file created by the date, when I open it, all the jpg names are there with default picture icons. When I click on those, Iget a photo appear.

If I try to access my pictures through an online application, say down loading a pic to ebay, the file as listed by date but when I open it there are no jpegs. I have set the option to display all files,

So ebay (or other online apps?) are not recognising the files as jpgs even though they are physically on your local disk?

Does that sound like the problem you're getting?
Could be something to do with the format, the way they have been saved, the file extension, or a number of things. Are the files on your local disks the original ones direct from your camera?
