I've been using Picasa, Google's acquired digital photo management software for a few years now and I've always thought it was the cat's meow when it came to 'easily importing photos', 'doing very-small touch-ups', sharing, sending photos to print shops, TAGGING and so much more. But on my recent upgrade to version 3, I'm almost driven to the point where I can't use the software anymore. Something is seriously off with the Tagging and I can't figure it out. All I can find is this post ( Discussions > Something Broken in Picasa 3? > Removing tags and searching ).

Initially to me, it seems it could be...

• Issues with Picasa's search cache. Since the search is so quick, the information must be caching somewhere. That kind of explains why photos with deleted tags are still coming up for old tags.
• Issues with folder and file privileges. Picasa might be registering the tag was deleted but in the back end, it's never able to alter the file and create the changes. This doesn't seem to likely since I've looked into this.
• Installation issues.. Maybe I should uninstall and reinstall. If I do this, I'll keep you posted on the outcome.
• Any other suggestions?

I look forward adding a solution to this problem when, and if, I finally figure out the answer.
