Tzafrir, I am having a hard time understanding exactly what you mean.

Does he want to make an album of his Digikam photos available via
Picasa web service, or does he want to import a Picasa album to
Digikam? Are we talking about Picasa the local app, or Picasa the web
service in that case?

Do you mean KDE 4?

The Qt4 port of Digikam is not ready. I _think_ that the 0.10 branch
will be all Qt4, but I am not sure. The specific component that that
interested me that looked like it was to remain Qt3 has in fact been
ported to Qt4, but there way be a few Qt3 components left over.

Like you, I have many Hebrew tags and I do have a few problems with
UTF-8 support, but it 'mostly works'. Deleting and reimporting an
image is a known issue, I would check if there is a bug already filed
but I promised the wife that I'd not do that for a little while! I do
intend on moving our home system to the 0.10 branch when it becomes
available so I can update you if you want.
