PicasaStarter enhances Picasa and adds the following features:

• You can create any number of Picasa databases and sets of pictures. This allows you to have separate pictures /database sets for different projects or uses. For instance separate databases for vacations, hobbies, and jobs.
• Databases can be created in any location, including network drives, and can be shared by multiple computers and users.
• It is very easy to create a portable solution where the pictures and database are on a portable or USB drive. The only thing that must be installed on the computer is Picasa itself. This makes it possible to show and work with your pictures on any computer.
• You can create Shortcuts on your Desktop to start Picasa with each database. This gives one step access to any photo / database set.

NOTE: Unfortunately Picasa is a single user application and is not designed to share databases or pictures. This means even with PicasaStarter only one user at a time can be accessing each database and it's pictures. PicasaStarter warns the user if anyone else is accessing the same database.
