Preview Images
When in the Batch people tagging screen, you only get a small preview when hovering over a photo. It would be great to have the option to double click on the face and have the full image open. Then have the option to tag everyone in the picture.

Quick Tag Access
When in Batch people tagging screen, you have to press T or select the Tag as button to start the tagging process. Then you have to start typing the person's name. It would be great to have the option to display a tag panel on the right to select from the most recent tags. So you could select the images in the batch and then just click on the tag you want. If the tag you want isn't displayed, then you could do the type-ahead approach. Maybe even give an option to "pin" some tags so they always stay in the tag panel. 

Open File Location
You can do this in other areas of Photo Gallery, but I haven't found a way to do this from the Batch people tagging screen. This would allow you to open the full picture and see the context of where the picture is. Often seeing which folder it's in, and the other pictures along side the one you're trying to tag, helps identify the person. 

Show File Name and Date
You can hover over faces and get this info in batch tagging mode. However, it would be helpful to have the option to show these below each picture. 

Anyone know if there is an update to Photo Gallery coming in the future? If there's a place to submit these items for an enhancements list?  I tried Google Picasa which has really good facial recognition, but fails at writing the tags to TIFF files, so I've been using Photo Gallery. The enhancements above exist in Picasa already which is one of the reason I miss the functionality so much.

Why the photos of mobile can't be imported to photo gallery ? When I try to open photo gallery it shows error code : 0x80004001.
Windows Moviemaker 2012 on a Windows 8.1 computer will not open or play .wmv files.  Photo Gallery on the same computer won't open and instead gives the usual "Photo Gallery has Stopped Working", the perennial issue that seems to plague everything and with which Windows 8 and its successor appear to challenge the user.  Any solutions out there for these terrible annoyances?
I am running Widows 7. I downloaded Photo Gallery and Movie Maker. When I try to open Movie maker (I'm not worried about Photo Gallery) I get the following error message

Wlstartup.exe- Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point ?OnGetMaxInfo@MAE_NIJAAJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library UXCore.dlll.

Can you help please.

I'm trying to upload photos originally saved off XP onto a cd and now wish to upload them onto Windows 7.


But, when trying to do so the computer recognises the files currently on the disc but when I try to open them the following appears:


Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video.  This file is not supported or you don't have the latest updates to Photo Gallery.


I'm not very good with computers, as you may have guessed, but could you please advise how I can rectify the situation.  Thanks in anticipation.

I have a new computer with Win 8 updated to 8.1. I can't find anything and am trying to download an SD card with photos, and find there is no windows live photo gallery, you have to download it! I tried to do this downloading only photo gallery and movie maker, but they did not work, so I downloaded all windows essential, which I didn't need. Now I have all the components I didn't want and the two that I need are nowhere to be found. I tried to download again but error message says essentials is up to date. Anyone know how to find photo gallery???
I have a new Windows 8 ultrabook that has minimal storage - 100 gigs total storage, with only 27 gigs free.
I have all my photos on an external hard drive. When I want to view a photo in Photo Gallery, it wants to import all the photos. Well there is not enough storage space. So is there any way I can view/modify my photos in Photo Gallery that are stored on my external hard drive?

Can I create a watermark and apply it to multiple photos in Photo Gallery?

I would like to add my company name to multiple photos to stop other from using them. I have already busted 2 others claiming them as thier own so I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give!

Thank you!
