Migrate Picasa Database

I reinstalled my laptop with the latest version of Ubuntu.

I had to do some digging on how to migrate the Picasa database, a there was not much good information when googling.

The folders you need to keep are:
~/.google/picasa/3.0/drive_c/Documents and Settings/<user>/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Picasa*
OR
~/.wine/drive_c/users/<user>/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Picasa*

So:

1. Install Picasa
• Use default Wine (1.4)
• Use the following commands: https://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/~pervila@helsinki.fi/Picasa+3.9+on+64-bit+Ubuntu+12.04
2. Overwrite the above folders with your backed up folders

This works for both Picasa 3.8 and 3.9.
