Learning curves

As I said below, I'm using Picasa to host pictures of my high school classmates. This is the first time I've used it, and it's got a tool I didn't know about.

When I get a photo in e-mail it's usually embedded or an attachment. Eudora (my e-mail program) puts the photo in a different folder depending on which way it comes in. That's mildly annoying, but until this project it hadn't aggravated me enough to reconfigure the mail program.

The way Picasa works, at load from the desktop it shows every folder and a thumbnail of every picture within each folder. On the left side of the screen there's a folder list. Occasionally I'd get mail with a picture and it wouldn't show up in the appropriate folder in Picasa. If I looked using Explorer I'd find it in the correct place, but it just would not appear in Picasa. It was driving me crazy until I discovered that if you highlight the folder and right-click, there's an option to refresh thumbnails.

Presto.
