I have picasa on win xp and I am considering using Shotwell on Ubuntu and dual booting between systems.

Can both programs access same picture files or will they have conflict with each other?

The problem isn't so much that the two programs won't get along, it's that you may run into file storage issues. Windows of course cannot read Linux file systems, and Shotwell has some known issues working with Windows file systems.

So while the setup may work, it's not recommended.
