I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps google is LESS wonderful than I had
originally thought :-)

No kidding! Tried Flickr?

Yes, but moving thousands of photos from one site to another (or
uploading them from my computer, which contains photos more photos than
I uploaded and must therefore be done on an individual basis) is more
than I'm willing to tolerate.

were you planning on manually moving each photo one by one?

batch upload and let it do its thing overnight.

No. I don't want to upload all my photos. The edited ones are ALL in
the same subdirectory, sorted by filename (date taken).

i didn't say to upload all photos.

choose the ones you want, such as the edited ones in that folder, then
batch upload them. couple of clicks to start the process, then go do
something else while it uploads. overnight should be more than enough
time.

All the
organization happens on line, but Picasa will do a certain amount of
organizing -- show only pix with people, etc.

then use that to select the desired photos to upload.

"Automatic" isn't good enough.

it can be when used properly.

the computer is there to do work *for* you.

Google gave us something nice and then took it away and crippled the
replacement.

nonsense. they greatly improved its replacement.

Only for the stupid.

nonsense.
