I occasionally use Picasa to do quick editing of photos, but I don't use it often, and I don't want any screensaver or any unnecessary packets being exchanged in the background. How can I disable this traffic without uninstalling Picasa?David Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765301393412490685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-46528609065817968522012-11-27T04:00:43.235-08:002012-11-27T04:00:43.235-08:00Heya.

For some reason, adding something like "http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/groups_discuss.gne?id=983739@N24&lang=en-us&format=rss_200" used to work, but now doesn't. What's going on? I realise, it's probably me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984860955893942736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-21264249268886114972012-04-01T04:48:49.372-07:002012-04-01T04:48:49.372-07:00Thanks a lot.

They are all off doing their own little thing without even think about how it might impact other areas of the company.<br /><br />For example, go the to Google page to get their screensaver. Instead of a download link, it has a link to Google Pack. Follow that link and you end up at a page that says Google Pack is gone because most of the stuff in it is now done online rather than being a software donwload.<br /><br />Ummm....and what about the screensaver? But of course the Google Pack web developers probably gave absolutly no thought at all to the screensaver folks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-37849893369299647142012-01-27T08:08:12.890-08:002012-01-27T08:08:12.890-08:00I must have an older version of the screensaver si...I must have an older version of the screensaver since it never made a folder on the desktop. I just enjoy it over other photo slideshow screensavers since it displays different images on each monitor (laptop attached and external) as it plays through.

There is one thing that bothers me, however: The screensaver insists on creating a "Google" folder on my desktop. I strongly prefer not to clutter my PC's desktop with unnecessary icons and folders. Does anyone know of a way to move that folder to some other location, like the "My Documents" folder?LarryC43230https://www.blogger.com/profile/02044306301987115603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-23149102853293243212010-12-12T13:52:09.872-08:002010-12-12T13:52:09.872-08:00To set delay over 9.6 seconds, see here:

For me it just does not cut it.<br /><br />Good Idea, poorly executed for people who have over 30,000 photos.<br />Most people organize photos by folder as they come off the camera and the screensaver does not play well with that structure. I will not use the star rating to add photos as I use Photoshop to rate my photos and I will not rate them twice (PS3 & Google). If google had a method of displaying ALL photos in a flat world so I could select them all at one time, that could work. But NOOOOooo, you can select photos from a folder at a time. I've got too many folders.<br /><br />Worse as new photos are moved into the "my pictures" area, they will not automatically be added to the screensaver, but must be added by hand. That SUCKS. Really now, for people who have a vast number of photos, is this screensaver the best you can do?<br /><br />How about adding the ability to select folders and subfolders to add to the screensaver album. I refuse to move all 30,000 photos folder by folder to the screensaver album, and YES I do want all 30K photos in the screensaver. It's variety and old memories I'm intereseted in.<br /><br />Just add to the current feature set the ability to select a folder and all subfolders recursively and you've got a fantastic screensaver. For now, I'm gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-74141631755509508802009-09-27T09:16:23.834-07:002009-09-27T09:16:23.834-07:00Good News.

The screensaver will then connect and download the new images from the RSS feed. Keep in mind that the screensaver will download the 50 newest images from the feed.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08672496319582886775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-48797796419691792832009-08-19T01:09:59.913-07:002009-08-19T01:09:59.913-07:00Thank you very much the single link.
