<p>Now I have tried with Lightroom, and it's better :-)<br>

Lighroom manage IPTC and XMP keywords, so it's compatible with Picasa. He can also replace Picasa...</p>

I have more experience now about this and understand whats happen, but still has no solution !

Yes, Bridge only filled XMP keywords. And the problem is Picasa only look IPTC keywords, not XMP.

Thats a pity, because Bridge seems to be the best software to put massive metadata keywords, and Picasa is very user friendly to search and look your picure...

Maybe one day Google add this functionality in Picasa, but there are still no evolution since 2.0 release, so no solution for me until now.

I want to do exactly the same than Phil try to do, but I still can't understand why it doesn't work.

I have done many try, and I can't really understand what is not working.

David, I'm not sure what you say is exact in regards of my experience below, just have a look :

I have added keywords on 5 different jpeg files with Picassa, pixvue, Bridge CS3 by the keywords list, Bridge CS3 by the file info, and photoshop by file info.

I can view all keywords with pixvue

I can view all keywords with bridge

I can view all keywords with photoshop

I can only view keywords put by pixvue, picasa and Photoshop in picasa but not keywords put by Bridge, even the keyword put by file info !

If I look the 5 files with file info in bridge or photoshop, all 3 following fields are filled for each file : IPTC Core, IIM and dublin core.

So why Picasa doesn't see keywords filled by Bridge ???

What are the difference between my files ?

Note that Picasa see I modify the file by bridge, because he reload it.

I become crazy, as I can't understand !
