When I downloaded and installed Picasa 3 over older version 2 the list of pictures seemed to stall out and no longer gets updated as new pictures are put on the computer.
The only solution I can find suggest removing all versions then redownloading Picasa again.
I am on dialup-and that last version I recall was huge and took hours to download.
There must be some simple means to rebuild the index used by Picasa-and I should be able to remove it and/or rebuild it but I cannot determine which file it is.
Any I deas? (the Picasa3 editing works fine when I open a picture-OPEN WITH.)

XP system? Make hidden folders viewable if they aren't already. The pathway to the data base file is; C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Picasa2 (or 3?)\db3

Bingo-I found that-and it is named Picasa2 (not 3)
now-I wonder if I delete that folder (actually rename it so it doesn't disapear) will Picasa3 make a new replacement folder?
Should that entire folder indicate version 3 or did my download and install just salvage the name from the older version?

Mine still says Picasa2 as well (running 3). I would assume that if you moved, deleted or renamed that folder, Picasa would either A) rebuild everthing new and fresh or, B) curl up into a fetal position over next to the L2 Cache and quiver incessantly.
