What language is Picasa written in?

Question

This was asked about a year ago, but never really answered. It would be great to find out what language/gui framework was used to write Google's desktop Picasa app. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Windows and Mac both have native apps, while the Linux version runs under Wine, so i suppose they don't use something like Java. I guess that means the Windows version is written in C++ while the Mac one is written in Objective-C.

Answer 2

I had a look at the Windows version and I'd guess C++ as well for most of the components which is indicated by

• a scan using PEiD that yields that npPicasa3.dll and qtsupport.dll have been created by the Visual C++ 8.0 compiler.
• Process Explorer showing that Picasa3.exe has an open handle to MSVCP80.dll, which is the Microsoft C++ Runtime Libary
