Picasa alternative (network-aware photo management)

[Raduque]

I used to love Picasa, but as I transitioned all my media to a networked machine for storage and archival, it's fallen by the wayside as Picasa is not network aware and won't access shares using //computername/folder/

Is there any other utilities that are just as powerful and free? I have some 200 gigs of pictures I need to browse, catalog and organize on networked shares.

Thanks!

Digikam looks interesting. I don't use it, but thought your question was interesting enough to look up. It only costs you time to try it.

I'll give it a try, thanks!

On a tangent, I'm still upset they discontinued Picasa. I would have gladly paid for it 🙁

Or at least offered the features of Picasa within Google Photos... but it isn't even close.
