From what I've read, Picasa saves a .picasa.ini file with all your tags. If you back up periodically, then you can always uninstall/reinstall Picassa and your photos will load with the same information.
The issue with PNG files is that they don't store data like other file types (like jpgs and tiffs), so that's what happened with your previous library. And that's why you would have to regularly backup your Picasa albums so that your .picasa.ini files are preserved, otherwise, the same thing would happen again. I believe you go to Tools-->Backup Photos.
