Admittedly this is more of an archive than a photo-sharing solution (Picasa albums not represented, just folders), but he doesn’t need to share albums. I don’t need Picasa to upload photos to the cloud, there’s endless apps for that, so we stuck with Picasa and use Google’s “Backup and Sync” to upload his collection to “Google Photo’s”, where they are available to other devices.

I could not find an app that could automate the process of moving pictures from a folder into a new folder matching the Picasa album, so anticipated a fair bit of manual work would be involved with any migration.Įventually, I thought…WHY? Picasa may no longer be supported but it still works. Further more, his albums did not resemble the folders in which the pictures resided.

When the end of life was announced, I looked for something similar but many of the apps were complicated and full of tools he did not need. My father uses Picasa and despite little computer knowledge quickly got to grips with it. picasa.ini moves with the folder moving a photo out of its original folder will forget the edits (unless that photo is moved within Picasa itself.

The JPG has two text metadata files imbedded into the JPG. The captions and keywords are actually stored in the JPG file itself and always stay with the photo. The photo edits are those such as crop, color, etc. Thus you can move entire folders of photos to another location and still be able to preserve the edits when viewed at the new location by Picasa.

Google has changed the way maps are accessed and the way Picasa does it is now obsolete. The one thing that is broken in Picasa is the ability to access google maps when a photo is geotagged. You are not “ordering” or purchasing a CD but burning your own. If you get this far, I presume you put a CD in the CD/DVD writer and burn it. From there you select some options, which include actually including an executable of Picasa which is a way of preserving this now unsupported program, and also the adding of a prefix sequence number to preserve order on the CD.
