Hi - quick Picasa 3 question(s)...

I need to do two things. The most complicated is move all of my photos from one drive (E

to another (P

.

I've spent ages organising all of my photos, tagging them, and even made use of the facial recognition feature - so I'm after a way of moving them whilst keeping all of the metadata intact. Does anyone know how?

I'm also going to be rebuilding the computer, and I'd like to export/backup the picasa catalogue before I do this, so that I can restore after rebuild - I've tried googling for tips, but not turned anything up yet. Although I'm sure I'll come up with something if I look a bit harder.

I think I've got the answer to my first question - you just simply have to use the FOLDER>MOVE FOLDER option and it keeps everything intact - providing you've got the new destination folder as a watched folder.

As for my second question, that looks a bit more tricky, as google seem to like keeping the catalogue well hidden. This'll also make it a complete pain to try and use the same catalogue on more than one computer. I mean, come on google, of all people, have got a program which really doesn't like cloud computing/networking. Sheesh.
