It's an issue with the desktop application. Google is aware of this issue and has yet to fix it. It's still outstanding. Google Groups
It seems that any of us using Picasa have since moved on for various reasons. Such as the software bugs that have been outstanding for nearly two years. Also, Google's TOS for the Picasa service are very onerous. Like Facebook, Google claims non-exclusive rights to your creation in perpetuity. SmugMug, 500px and Flickr do not claim rights to your content. In fact they go out of their way to say that you own your creations.
However, I do still recommend Picasa to family and friends. Odds are they are shooting in JPG, don't care about EXIF or the rights to their photos. Picasa is a fantastic application for someone who needs to manage family photos and put them on the web for others to see.

Picasa is removing the EXIF data when you save the photo as a jpeg or upload it to Picasa web albums.
I took a quick look and there are no options to turn EXIF data on or off on export. I think it maybe a bug. I'm going to do some more digging.
Update: I found some forum posts on the Picasa help forums talking about corrupted data. A suggestion was to use ExifTool by Phil Harvey to repair the information. However, there is no data to repair. It would appear the EXIF data is gone.
On a related note, ExifTool is a command line too. There's GUI front-end that makes life much better: http://freeweb.siol.net/hrastni3/foto/exif/exiftoolgui.htm |
