Tagging Improvements

Posted by Tara Morrison, Software QA engineer

With the release of Picasa 3, we made many updates; improvements to keywording and tagging are no exception. You probably knew about Tag button next to the Search field, but did you also know that CTRL - K, and CTRL - T bring up the tagging dialog? While editing photos, this keyboard shortcut is very convenient to help you add tags on the fly.�

The blue status bar at the bottom of the screen now shows any tags applied to your pictures --� this works on the single image, and the album level.�

Tags are also a thumbnail caption option now! You can try it out in
View > Thumbnail Caption > Tags.�

Multi-word tags are now supported. In Picasa 2, "happy birthday" would become "happy" and "birthday". Now it works like you want it to :)�

Last, but certainly not least, bulk tagging is faster. Oh and, by the way, we also have auto-complete in the tags dialog, and in the Search bar.
