Hi - I cannot get Linux Mint 16 to default to, or even recognize the, Picasa for Linux I have downloaded. Am forced to keep using gthumb then import file into Picasa. Is there any way around this?

Code:

Right click => open with => other application => custom command => picasa => set as default

Kind regards

Mint 16 is no longer supported, you need to upgrade to 17.
