Tags are removed after doing a picasa import

VER: 3.2.1
J2.5

I add new photos to picasa then go to Phocagallery, Select my category that refers to that Picasa album, run a Picasa import to bring in the new images.
Verified new images are now there. However all the Tags I assigned to the old Images that were already imported are now missing. So now I have to go back into each image and readd (select the tag) to every image. this can be fairly time consuming as some of my albums have 200+ images.

Is there a way so that After I import the new images in that the TAG is not removed from the images that existed before?

Hi, yes, unfortunatelly it is only import function so all information will be newly created by settings on Picasa :-( It is not some auto update mechanism :-(

is there a way to keep the tags if the titles are the same? so you still import and as part of that it can check against other tables and if its matches it keeps the tags?

Hi, you need to customize it in the code (but not sure how to do a script which will remember the attempt and by first attempt to store the data, by others not more :-( ) :idea:
