Windows 10: Windows 10 Filmstrip photo viewer

I find it interesting that MS response to this question is to sidestep or make other excuses to explain that the newer version of ways to view photos is better than the old Windows Xp Filmstrip view setting. The MS people writing the programs clearly do not work with 1000's of photos in their daily work, needing to skip from 1 to another pic with out actually opening a photo in some program.


The filmstrip viewer did briefly make appearance is later versions but was removed with updates with the lame xtra large, large, medium, and small folder setting - all of these are the same thing, so why not eliminate all but the large, and go back to allowing the filmstrip view setting.


MS programmers are so bad not knowing that when an "upgrade" is actually worse, they alienate their customers. As an architect I would love a setting on the homes of all MS employees that randomly changed the locks on their doors, what drawer their silverware was located, and many random things to annoy them and make their home perform worse each time they did an update to MS program.


Just fix it and bring back filmstrip and keep it there. Learn from your mistakes, and admit you are wrong, and fix it.

Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10  


I successfully restored Windows Photo Viewer in my Windows 10 installation. But Photo Viewer as I know it, had a filmstrip under the larger picture where one could see the other pictures in the same folder. This was very handy because the pictures in the filmstrip could easily be copied into another folder by swiping the picture to that folder. I did not find this filmstrip in the refound installation. Somebody here can tip me to bring this fantastic feature back?

DigiCam has the feature if you enable image preview. You can select thumbnail from "filmstrip" and drag it to any folder in the navigation pane. There's no need to make it the default photo viewer.
