Literally all I do is browse the folders, and then look through the thumbnails, occasionally opening a full size image. I don't tag with keywords, don't search by them, etc.
I don't need any DAM capabilities other than displaying the images in a neat and intuitive way. I expect the geolocation display to stop working within a few months. But now it seems that the writing is on the wall, as of a few months ago Google turned off the communication with gmail. Over the years I have managed to keep Picasa going with the help of the community, including a RegEdit hack that allowed the geolocation display to keep working. I never used any of Picasa's editing or facial recognition capabilities, but did very much like that it was geotag aware, as well as capable of rather quickly shooting off downsized JPEGs to friends and family. When I needed to locate an image or notes from a trip, I would navigate to the Picasa folder, reveal in Windows explorer, and then use other software to do what I was after. My expectation of Picasa was simply to crawl that folder structure, aggregate all JPEGs automatically, and display them neatly in a chronological structure. United States -> California -> 2018 -> 2018-11_Death_ValleyĮach folder held the images from a particular trip - NEFs, TIFFs, xmls, JPEGs, GPX tracks, notes, etc. I have a folder structure on my HDD, where I "organized" my photos, for example And the "manager" piece is an overstatement of what I expected it to do. All these years I have used Picasa as a dead-simple image manager.
