PICASA (again...) : unable to send photo!

Couldn't the users of Picasa come together and send a "plea" to Google to resume the updates?

Hello,

You are not alone!

Apparently, it's a feature that has disappeared. The rest seems to work. So there’s no reason to give up on Picasa.

Same problem! Every time I send photos through Picasa, I'm constantly asked for access codes, and then Google tells me I'm not connected to the internet! Which is false?
It's shameful to leave people hanging like this!
I'm going to delete all this and go elsewhere if I don't get a response.

Hello,

For those nostalgic about Picasa:

Aside from the email sending issue, you may have noticed that reading the geolocation info from photos is no longer working.

There is a solution:
https://sites.google.com/site/picasaresources/Home/Picasa-FAQ/picasa/troubleshooting/the-geotag-window-in-picasa-isn-t-working

It's in English, not too difficult to understand. (You can translate it into French by right-clicking on the page.)
The principle is to download a file called FixPicasaMap.reg, which will modify the Windows registry. You just click on the file name to initiate the operation.
You will receive several warnings from Windows about the risks associated with this modification. It's risk-free.

If you have any concerns, create a Windows restore point
before modifying the registry.

When you restart Picasa, geolocation will be active again.

Used to Picasa 3 for years and thrilled with its ease of use. Apparently, Picasa 3 is discontinued, and I have to open a Google account to work on my photos, with the requirement of changing my email address to Gmail, which I absolutely do not want to do. Life is being made more complicated for us, and this is highly unpleasant.

I have the same problem, it was working very well before!

I love Picasa and I'm keeping it. I've tried different solutions but it's too complicated for me. So I send my photos through "my images" in an email and it works very well. A big thank you to those who have looked for solutions.

Hello

It has been reported to you for some time that Picasa would no longer be supported and abandoned. By the way, what really bothers you about Google Photos?

Hello to you;

Personally, I am not a fan of Picasa, but it is on one of my machines and the photo sending via the Mail option at the bottom works perfectly with my personal email, which is Thunderbird.
I just did a test by sending 33 photos to 2 of my Thunderbird accounts and I received all of that within the next 2 minutes... Conclusion: Why not use your own email to transfer photos if Picasa is no longer able or willing to do it..

See screenshot image below

See you +

Best regards

Pierr10, xylon, Jmarion3: a huge thank you to all of you, and I'm sorry for not responding faster (helping someone with Parkinson's disease, so I'm often away from home).
I will study your answers, and I will choose the solution that seems easiest for me.
Thanks again to all of you,
I consider this topic resolved!

Google Photos is not up to par with Picasa.
Exporting, writing on photos, editing...!

Thanks to Pierre10; I will give it a try.

On what grounds does Google decide for us? It's an abuse of power.

It's the same for me.
If this continues, I'm going to uninstall this app.

Hello, I found a solution to easily modify and send my photos.
- I import my photos (smartphone, camera), but first, I open "Picasa."
- There, I can edit, write, crop, etc. my photos.
After each modified photo, I go to "File" - at the top left - then I scroll down to "save as"… and I give a name to my photo. The same goes for the next one.
- Obviously, we have 2 photos in "my pictures," just delete the original photo.
And to easily send them to my friends, I created an account on Outlook.fr. This email service is very easy to use: you click on the paperclip "attachment" and on "browse this computer." The photos upload quite quickly, and my friends receive the modified, cropped photos, etc.
I had already tried Thunderbird, but I didn't like it at all. Outlook is more logical (for me).

So Vinc, don’t uninstall Picasa ... Try it first, and let me know what you think.
Best regards

Hello,
is it easier with APPLE equipment to import photos and send them back?

I have the same problem. I don't know how to send photos from Picasa by email anymore. Every time I enter my information, I get an error message – it used to be so easy. I'm 81 years old and I don't know what to do anymore.
