Hi Richard,

The mechanism you're using looks like it should be working. I've successfully been able to repeat this issue and have filed it here: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=282

As a workaround (although not nearly as convenient), you can submit the tags individually after you've uploaded the photos.

We'll work on getting this fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks, -Ryan

I am writing a desktop app that uses the Picasa API to upload photos to Web Albums. I've got everything working except that the tags i'm passing to the POST don't seem to be sticking. When I look at the photo on the website, there are no tags. Filename and caption are set propertly though.

Here's the xml i'm generating and passing to the POST:

<entry xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <title>somepic.jpg</title> <summary>This is a random caption</summary> <media:group> <media:keywords>footag</media:keywords> </media:group> <category term="http://schemas.google.com/photos/2007#photo" scheme="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind"/> </entry>

The upload goes thru without any errors returned. I saw on a previous post that you can set tags via the media:keywords element. Anyone see
