Are there any programs like Picasa which run on Linux? I'm after something for organising my digital and scanned photographs. I don't want anything very clever, Picasa is actually pretty close to what I want except that I'd prefer to be able to manipulate the *real* folder hierarchy rather than a pseudo-hierarchy.
I don't know much about Picasa itself, but I use digikam for organising my digital photos, and it's really very good.
You can use tags to arrange and search your images, but you also have the images in real directories which you can change around and drop in there and it all plays nicely together, obviously.
The system for getting hold of your digital images from a camera, etc is also intuitive.
The only idea I think it's missing as a killer feature is a live full-text search field at the top below the menus for working with the tags, but as an application it got me bothering to tinker for hours tagging and organising my images for fun again, which is kind of a sign of quality in my eyes.
The killer for me is that it's a KDE application and seems to need quite a bit if KDE infrastructure to work.
