I thought that it might possibly be of some interest to others, so here’s the answer as a blog entry.

I first blogged about Picasa back in 2005, when I compared it (favourably) with Microsoft’s Digital Image Library, a product that was subsequently discontinued by Microsoft, and replaced by Windows Live Photo Gallery, which was released in 2007. As each new version of Picasa or WLPG has been released, I’ve taken a look at them and blogged about my findings. Up until a couple of days ago, the latest versions meant version 3.8 of Picasa and build 15.4.3538.513 of WLPG.
These are fairly evenly matched in features, but they both suffer from issues such that I do not make much use of them. Picasa version 3.8 would not display my geotags correctly, as you can see from the examples I show in this blog post. Captions. Power up your photo management workflow.
