It turns out I had already had 'save exif data' checked in the advanced options, but it didn't save them before. When I looked at the advanced options just now and THEN saved, there the stuff was. Weird, but it makes some stuff SOOOOO much better! Is it essential to open the 'advanced options' window every time you want to save something, or was this just some sort of fluke? -- Cheers, Bev ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To define recursion, we must first define recursion. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
