  1. Windows 10 Photos--Why is it even called "Photos"


    I sell vintage glass. To do this I need a filing system to store my photos by manufacturer NOT BY DATE.

    I want a filing system. I don't want "To get creative" beyond a little basic editing, or add sound tracks or three-D effects or anything else.


    Windows Live Photo Gallery worked fine. Since "Photos" replaced it photos seems to come at the bottom of the list, the priority seems to be tinkering with all the whistles and bells for all the other stuff that they are lumped in with.


    Yesterday I opened photos to find changing the destination of uploads didn't work, although "Delete photos from camera after uploading" is back AGAIN after disappearing after the last foul-up.


    Today I gave up trying to upload my latest photos to their separate files and uploaded them plus 150 others that I hadn't deleted because that function had gone missing to the one file I could use.


    I notice that the photos already in that file have re-acquired all the "permanently" deleted originals that preceded my editing. Adding yet more chaos in my filing system.


    Checking one or two other files I find every photo from random "Months" have been added to them. EVEN MORE CHAOS


    ISN'T IT YET CLEAR THAT "Photos" IS A TOTALLY USELESS MESS in its present form. That as a filing system it is completely un-reliable as I never know what I'll find when I open it. That on a regular basis it becomes completely un-fit for purpose.


    For Gods sake go back to "Photos" being used for photos and ONLY PHOTOS.


    Put all the other stuff that has nothing to do with still-photos somewhere else.


    PLEASE.

    :)

    New Memorex Mirror for Photos Simplifies Photo Backup

    Today’s consumers are looking for simple technology solutions that allow them to swiftly and safely back up their ever-growing digital photo collection. With a quick, one-time software installation, the Memorex Mirror for Photos external hard drive automatically backs up photos when connected to the computer without having to open numerous settings, dialogs or having to navigate multiple menus.

    Mirror for Photos is a fast, smart and maintenance-free method of backing up photos and takes the guesswork out of protecting one’s precious memories. Its built-in software automatically runs each time the device is connected to a PC or MAC, finds photos and backs them up. This eliminates the hassle of manually backing up photos each time they are uploaded on a computer. A unique monitoring feature detects when new photos are present and reminds the user to connect Mirror for Photos.
