| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | jasondunn | 09/09/24 7:41 | You've nailed the key problem with this new feature: it's only designed to work on one computer. The face information is a combination of the picasa.ini file (which can be copied to another computer) and the Picasa database...which can't be copied to |
| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | TCStuff | 09/09/24 9:05 | If you copy your folders that have your photos including the Picasa INI file to a backup HD then copy them to another computer running Picasa would the name tags follow or is that part of the Picasa Database which cant be copied? Question why cant t |
| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | weswitt | 09/09/24 9:54 | It appears that Picassa writes the face location data to the jpg file, but the actual names are stored in the Picassa database.

| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | Don Lind | 09/09/24 12:08 | hal07 - While I agree completely that they need to support multiple computers and multiple instances of Picasa all working nicely with a shared store of photos on a NAS device, that's a separate issue...

| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | Don Lind | 09/09/24 12:11 | My related addon question for face tags.

| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | jaysiej | 09/09/24 13:09 | Hi Don, Thanks for the info in your previous post. To answer your question, when you copy the photo over, Picasa will immediately pull the named face tags out of the .picasa.ini file and tag those faces. In the background, the face detection will e |
| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | TCStuff | 09/09/24 13:29 | JAYSIEJ, One problem I have is that I have a lot of photos and scanning takes forever.

| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | BullRhino | 09/09/24 18:12 | At some point Google/Picasa has got to find a way to attach this to the photograph or for many of us it is a useless feature.

| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | Mye | 09/09/25 1:46 | I think I got the answer! If you want to export Face Detection you must copy your photos with picasa.ini (or .picasa.ini) which stored in pictures folders. And copy DB3 (Picasa database) In Windows /Users/%USERNAME%/AppData/Local/Google/Picasa2/db3/ |
| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | BrownBag | 09/09/25 9:55 | Thank you Mye. I knew there had to be more than the .picasa.ini.

| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | magic52272 | 09/09/25 12:00 | What about for the mac? Where is the face data stored? Will a backup do the same thing for the mac, transfer all name data? Is there a faster way like backing up some data file in the picasa app folder? Thanks |
| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | jasondunn | 09/09/25 14:23 | @Don Lind: Unfortunately, the picasa.ini file being moved to another computer doesn't give you the face information. That seems to be only part of the equation. It seems the main part of the data is locked up in the Picasa database. Unless I'm mistak |
| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | ptyork | 09/09/25 16:40 | Yeah, kludging the system by copying the db3 database would definitely be a terrible solution unless only one Picasa instance actually edited photos and the other(s) were view-only. Any other possibility would seem to lead to some pretty serious pote |
| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | Oedious | 09/09/25 17:00 | @jasondunn: Try removing and then re-adding the folder where your photos sit in Folder Manager. This will force Picasa to rescan all your images, pulling the face tags out of the .picasa.ini file. @ptyork: All your contact data is stored in db3/con |
| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | Eric Bayard | 09/09/26 13:31 | what happens when the disk is read only?

| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | joeho | 09/09/26 21:44 | It looks like the "faces" can be downloaded from Picassa Web, I was hoping this can be a 2 way process. Maybe we can use the "spare" space in Picassa web to store the faces and sync to any computer running picassa :) that would be nice :P |
| Re: How to Back up Name Tags and copy to an another compter | antisocialelement | 09/09/27 10:47 | WORK AROUND: Although Picasa's people tagging is not portable, you can make it readable in software like Vista/7 and Acdsee. Select all pictures of a person and press Ctrl+T to add a tag(keyword). This will add a permanent tag to the picture visible |
