    Photo attachments all the same photo

    I think it is a bug with files that have the same name. Haven't tried any workaround yet, but others have reported the same issue.

    Photo attachments all the same photo

    When I receive an email with more than one photo attachment, all photos look the same. Only one picture actually downloads into my gmail on the phone. I verify that there are several photos on a computer. Is there a fix on my phone to accept all
    of the sent photos?

    Photo App shows the same 5 pictures all the time

    In the Photo App settings you can choose to show either a single picture or recent photos. If you have recent photos selected it will show the most recent ones and then if you add more it should change to these newer pictures provided they have a more recent date associated with the image file.

    Phil,
    The definitive word in your reply is "SHOULD". But, in actuality, this is not what happens.

    I studied the Photo App on 3 different computers. The first was Windows 8.1 where the Photo App flips endless photos from the chosen folders. The second was Windows 10 where the Photo App flips the same 5 pictures; not necessarily the most recent. Also, when I selected the option to include the OneDrive Picture folder, which was empty, it resulted in no photos shown at all. Finally, I looked at my computer which is Windows 10 Insider Build 14342. Again, Photo App flipped only 5 pictures. They were from Apr, March, Feb 2016, Dec 2015 and June 2014. I have several more recent photos including some I added today. Also, selecting the OneDrive Pictures folder made no difference; the same 5 pictures flipped.

    So, what purpose does the live option of the Photo App serve if it can only handle 5 random photos? And why is it limited to 5 which appear to be cached somewhere?

  6. It's pretty lousy tile. Mine works ok in as much as 5 show and they seem to be more recent - but there is no control over it and it seems pretty random. Much preferred the old Windows 7 photo gallery gadget
