Picasa Web Albums exits test phase

Picasa Web Albums have dropped the "Test" designation from the logo, and added a few more features.

The new features include:

  • A single page to edit the individual captions of all images in an album (a feature that Picasa calls Bulk Caption Support - which is rather misleading since that suggests updating the captions of many images to all be the same)
  • The embed in Blog or Myspace link now has a twistie, which can open or collapse the HTML fragment

The caption editing page is accessed via the new "edit captions" button in the album view when you are logged in.

As well as its intended use for editing captions, it provides a convenient layout for printing, since you get a full set of images, with their captions alongside.

Amusingly not all pages are in sync yet - the What's New page gets to mention these new features, yet still has the "test" rider in the logo.  It also links to a FAQ - which is actually the Picasa Mac Tools FAQ, rather than the general FAQ you might expect from its position in the footer of this page.
