$ java Read "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Google/Picasa3/db3/catdata_name.pmp" I expect the underlying library returns the equivalent of undefined when fetching fields for a record beyond the "end" of any given field file.įinally, a small java program to dump out whatever information I've gathered thus far. You might expect every "field file" for a given table to contain the same number of records, but this is not always the case. Ie, fetching the 7273'rd record in all files named imagedata_*pmp gives information about the fields for entity #7273 in the imagedata table. The entities are indexed by their record number in each file.

Unfortunately with the upgrade to Catalina it stopped working as it 32 bit. While negative values are legitimate in the Microsoft format and indicates days prior to Dec 30, 1899, the Picasa user interface currently prevents dates older than from being used.Ġ圆: null-terminated string. Replacement for Picasa : MacOS 10 Posted by 1 year ago Replacement for Picasa My wife used and loved Picasa. Fractional values are fractions of a day, so for instance, 3.25 represents 6:00 A.M. The 8 bytes are a double, and the value is the number of days from midnight Dec 30, 1899. The date is represented in Microsoft's Variant Time format. I haven't tested how (if at all) it can store unicode.Ġx2: dates, 8 bytes as a double. The field-type values are:Ġx0: null-terminated strings. Choose 'Show Package Contents' from the contextual popup menu 4. Please note: all values are presented in little-endian format, so if you hex-dump a file, you should see the bytes reversed.Ģbytes: field-type: unsigned short - identical with field-type above.įollowing the header are "number-of-entries" records, whose format depends on the field-type. Right click (or control-click) the icon to access the contextual menu for the iPhoto icon 3.
#Picasa for mac os 10 for free#
There are several areas where I just see constants - I don't know the purpose of these and I'll list them out. Available for free from Googles Picasa product page, Picasa 3 for Mac is a beta (naturally) that brings Googles unique approach to both photo organization and photo application UI to the Mac (as. The pmp file is in little-endian format rather than the usual network byte/big-endian format. The marker files (ie, files that end in _0) only contain the magic bytes. For instance, catdata_state.pmp contains records for the field state in the table catdata, and so forth.Īll files start with the four magic bytes: 0xcd 0xcc 0xcc 0x3f pmp file sharing that prefix is a field for that table. The file with the _0 suffix is a marker file to identify the table, and each. pmp file represents a field in a table, and the table is identified by a common prefix as follows: pmp suffix, which are the database files.Įach.

The notes are for the Mac OS, Picasa version 3.9.0.522. Please do let me know if you have more information about this file format. Shame on the author for being so uninformed on a topic about which she is purporting to provide advice.I recently needed to dig into Picasa's internal databases to get some information that it appeared to store only there, and not finding the answer on the interwebs, here are my notes about their format. (Reading the first two items on the list and the first sentence of the third was sufficient for the purposes of steering my mother-in-law away from this article.) This list is best ignored. I''ll stop there, because that''s where I stopped reading the article. Lightroom is a photo organizer with basic editing capabilities, while Photoshop is a powerful photo editor that can''t be used to organize photos. "Adobe Lightroom for Mac is the Photoshop version of Mac." That''s incorrect Lightroom and Photoshop are two different applications with two different primary functions. Aperture was no longer available for purchase about a year before this article was published, with Apple announcing plans to stop supporting Aperture in favor of its Photos app long before that.ģ. Google started phasing Picasa out at least six months before this article was published. (Maybe ask your son-in-law if you have one?)ġ. Basically, my message is to pretend like this article doesn''t exist and find another resource. A diferencia de iPhoto, Picasa mantiene las imgenes en su ubicacin original y no. I write this comment in the hope that it may help others avoid wasting time (as my mother-in-law did) relying on this article, and not with the specific aim of criticizing the author for publishing an ill-informed, sloppily researched article. Picasa es un organizador de fotografas creado por Google que permite gestionar todas las imgenes almacenadas en el Mac y en el servicio de almacenamiento online del mismo nombre.
