W7 Photo viewer- frustration

I have Windows 7 Pro. I do not see the "rename" in the Windows Photo Viewer, including in the file options.  I want to DIRECTLY rename my photo through the viewer. You could it in Vista. 
I already know allll about the changing Views/previews in a Folder, batch name, the tab rename, etc in folders. I know the spilt screen style- resize folder/viewer, to see both--- not want I am asking for. I am NOT asking for the folder methods. Save
As
ONCE again, I want to *directly* rename my photos in the Photo Viewer. I don't want to have to go to folder every time to rename. How to I enable it? What do I need to buy, download, uninstall, or reformat? Do I need to install the Vista viewer?
If its permanently removed, why??

Hi DeepStarW7,
We may rename the photo name in Windows Photo Viewer through Files->Properties, then on the
General tab, type the name that you would like to change:
For more information about Windows Photo Gallery, please see:
View and use your pictures in Windows Photo Viewer
Or you may take a look at the Photo Gallery:

Hope the information above would be helpful

  • All Photos view in full screen can't happen?

    Just want to be sure I'm not missing something.  When I'm using iPhoto in full screen mode, I only have Events, Faces, Places, Albums, Projects and NO PHOTOS view.  Right?

    Wrong.  This is what I get in the Photos mode with Event Titles shown:
    Click on a photo and it goes full screen.
    This is what it looks like without Event Titles shown:

  • Can't open a link in a web page, goes immediately to down load and then when opened it shows downloaded to windows photo viewer, which won't open

    I open a web page, in the web page there is a link to open another link. I click on this link and the doc is 'downloaded' automatically , I click on the 'green arrow' download button at top of screen, the page opens and says 'windows photo viewer can't open the picture because photo viewer doesn't support this file format or you don't have the latest update to photo viewer'!! I just want to open the link. Grateful for advice.

    Where is that happening? Please provide the URL.

  • No more key photos in "Photos" view?

    After upgrading, I can no longer see key photos in "Photos" view. Is this a setting that I can change, or did iPhoto '11 drop this feature?

    It appears that that is a change in '11

  • In new iOS 8 photos app, I am missing photos in photo view that are in album view

    All my photos in the iPhoto app on my iMac appear correctly in the album view in the new Photos app on my iPhone 6.  However, not all the photos appear in the photos view.  To try and get the counts to match, in iTunes, I synced my iPhone after unchecking the syncing of photos.  I checked the Photos app on my iPhone and there were no photos.  Then I checked to sync all photos in iTunes and synced my iPhone again.  Every photo on my iMac was in the album view, but there were still missing photos in the photo view.
    Anyone have this problem and a solution?

    Thanks for your response.  Turns out the iPhotos database was corrupted.  I rebuilt it and now the counts match.
    I do have summarize photos turned off as you suggested.
    But now I have a new problem.  I have smart albums in iPhoto on my iMac that correspond to decades.  These albums and the photos they contain appear perfectly in the album view on my iPhone 6.  However, a few photos in the photos view appear with the wrong date.  So I'm working on resolving this.

  • Officejet pro 8000 wireless will not print from windows photo viewer. all other diagnostics ok.

    OS is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64. All functions and printing are ok with this unit, excepting for printing through Windows Photo Viewer. Have latest software, drivers, etc., and all HP software and hardware diagnostic tools check out ok.
    Checked Windows event log, and get Event 350, PrintService - Document  failed to print and was deleted because of corruption in the spooled file. The associated driver is: . Try printing the document again.
    There is no additional info on this event listed in the Microsoft TechNet Events and Errors Message Reporting Center
    When this happens, all of the lights on the printer flash very rapidly.
    To correct, I clear the queue through Explorer, Troubleshoot, and unplug printer to reset.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks

    FYI, I got this to work by treating my printer as a wired printer, even though it allegedly has wireless functionality. Luckily, my ohter devices can print to it wirelessly. At least I don't need to replace my printer just yet...

  • How do I print 4x6 photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery

    Dear Experts, I've got an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer with just one paper tray in which I loaded 4x6 photo paper.
    The printer was purchased in January 2014, the latest drivers are installed. Now I would like to print a single 4x6 photo using Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery.I loaded the 4x6 photo paper  into the tray as indicated by the little icon labeled 4x6in, so I suppose I got the HW part right. It's just the SW part which gives me a hard time. The available paper size options in Windows Photo Viewer and Gallerydon't include photo paper sizes, just the standard paper and envelope sizes.Hence I checked in the HP Printer Assistant in "Set Preferences" what kind of paper sizes are available, and there is exactly the same list as proposed by Gallery, missing photo paper sizes. So I guess Gallery just picks the sizes from the driver and ther are no photo paper sizes. This is an issue because I prefer to print from my PC using Win 7 or Win 8 and not from a SD card or a USB stick. Any help is very welcome, thank you in advance!   

    Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6,  5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats  you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case:  A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

  • Navigating through photos in single-photo view in iphoto with trackpad is not working after installing new OS Mountain lion

    I have recently download new OS Mountain lion on my macbook (white late 2010 model). I had snow leopard before.
    On iphoto, when i was viewing my photos in a single-photo view (double clicking on a photo), i was unable to go to the next photo/previous photo using my trackpad. Only way i could do this was by pressing arrow buttons on my key board.
    If i remember correctly, i was able to do this by using 3 fingers (sliding left to right or sliding right to left) on snow leopard.
    I can navigate back and foward on my internet browser using two fingers. And yes, i have tried using my two fingers on iphoto but nothing happens.
    I have checked my trackpad setting and everything seems to be right.
    Any ideas how i could fix this?
    Thank You
    p.s. i have iphoto 09

    This works here - but I'm on iPhoto 11. IIRC it worked on 09 too though.
    It's not working for me.

  • How can I access properties in my photo files. I uused to be able to tag my pictures in photo viewer but now it either does not come up when clicked on or it is greyed out or blocked out.

    Why can't I access properties nor add to the tags in picture properties when in photo viewer or at all?

    Not sure why you didn't get it when the other guys did, it seems you want to be sure to point out how stupid my question is instead of trying to make sense of it. I'll reply to clear things up also in hopes you might be a bit more corteous when replying to something you are obviously missing, as two separate individuals have already posted clear answers.
    -Why would you preview in the store if the item is in your library?
    Because there is no preview option in the library, thus my question
    -Find the album, select the first song then press Play.
    As I said in my question, I want a preview from the middle. More often than not it will take time to get to the point where the song actually starts/drops
    -When you decide you like it or not, rate it/add to a playlist then skip to the next song.
    -Preview All is the same as skipping thru all songs on an album.
    No, Preview All is automatically scanning through each song one by one playing an excerpt, it completely different.
    -Something comes up? Run to your Mac?
    I can understand your confusion on this bit - when a song plays that I like, I can return my focus to my mac and rate or add that particular song. You must understand that people listen to music while doing other things, and given the MBP has speakers, it is safe to say I may not be tethered to it with headphones while listening.

  • Photo viewer lost after firmware update

    hi
    im using nokia 6303i classic and recently updated my firmware 6.60 to 7.10 and i lost all the applciations including photo viewer, calculator, converter, opera mini and all others which are built in phone memory. kindly help me, if anyone can send me the backup?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As previously stated it simply could be a faulty installation. All you need to do is to reinstall it. For the missing applications, go to getjar.com and choose from the different calculators, converters, photoviewers and other apps available for your phone. Just install new ones.

  • Photo viewer not displaying photos properly

    when i go to photos viewer n open any pic,d pic open wit a blur image n a ring on top of it keeps rotating keepin d pic in blur state. When zoom the pic shows properly but d ring still keep rotating. However not able to view d pics in small size. Its just keep it blur state.

    Haven't figured it out yet, but will post if I find a solution.
    The problem is, I'm trying to find a solution to a whole host of other problems on my N97, e.g. The problems I'm having with GPS (Maps 2 and 3 are both currently unusable), the problems I'm having getting my widgets, email etc to detect which connection I need using etc, the problems I'm having with reception, the problems I'm having with my ringtone etc. So this photo viewer problem is just another issue to add to the list.
    As for the Facebook App, if I take a picture using the camera link within the application, it won't let me upload anyway, so I've stopped using it. I just use the standard Facebook Mobile site as the Nokia Facebook App is so slow, it's borders on useless.

  • N8 Video Player and Photo Viewer not working prop...

    Hi I just got a N8 a few months ago and its been going great until a month ago. 
    My video player is not displaying any the videos that I had on the phone or any of the videos I try putting on after. I then tried the photo viewer (it displays video as well for some reason) but that didn't have any of the videos and only some of my photos are being displayed.
    I previously had the problem with the music player where it would be stuck on  the music updating screen (not frozen) but I solved that by looking through the net and finding that you delete a certain file and it fixed that.
    Thanks
