NoN · 04 Nov 2014

Same here...reloaded the wlsetup-web.exe ( File version 3528.331 but shows on mine, Product version 3528.0331), it tells me the programs i use are already installed...no change made, so!

Yep well you can add tags with windows explorer so you certainly don't need photo gallery for that easy task depending on which tags your referring to I've never gotten into people tags, Who's this ! shoot it :)
Photo gallery also has the worst thumbnail caches ever created

No "save as" it's just beyond weird thinking,
I'd rather use office picture manager to do easy quick editing/ crop/ resize....
Otherwise yea I personally use CorelPaint for more precise editing or gimp

So pg is really a waste of space when only mm is wanted :/

I only use it for tagging manga scans.
WLPG has a list of the tags you have used (or you can just add them to the list first).

I found it much easier to tag 100s of images at the same time using WLPG than Windows Explorer, because:

I could scale the images to a large enough size to view who or what was in them
Of the tag list

All I do is select a bunch of images and then just click on the tag(s) I want.
The images I'm tagging usually have multiple tags (>4).

Windows Explorer used to offer me tags based on what I started to type, but it stopped doing that 2 or 3 years ago.

I only have WLPG installed (I don't use any of the other stuff).

Hi,
I wonder if MS will send an update to remove WE 2012 all together :)
Personally I liked Vista photo gallery better :/

Hi,
Yep depreciating programs

The problem is that will force to keep important mails out of the software...datas will have to stay on MS server.
