Windows deletes Picasa

I like Picasa for basic editing because it's fast with the functions right up front, kind of like an enhanced version of Paint (which Microsoft had to re-introduce recently after they tried to remove it and people didn't like it). Those that know what they're doing have not had "Windows" delete their programs. Nor has "Windows" either "reintroduced" or replaced Paint. Both versions of Paint are still on all of my Windows10 machines. Of course, those who don't know what they're doing are having one hell of a time with Win10. -- best regards, Neil |

Of course, Picasa is a Google rather than Microsoft product, they stopped supporting it a little while ago but then made available a version which works pretty well on Win10. I find it very convenient for cataloguing and for basic image "fixes". How MS could release the Photo app which apparently randomly fails to open some JPEGs is a mystery to me. |

Of course, those who don't know what they're doing are having one hell of a time with Win10. solely due to microsoft's ****ty testing (or lack thereof). |

I stated facts, which are neither arrogant nor opinions of any kind. nope. you stated an opinion, one which is entirely devoid of facts. it's an arrogant attitude if only a select few can use a particular product, in this case, windows. as i said, which you snipped, a well designed product works for everyone, regardless of their level of knowledge or needing to use a myriad of contortions to avoid problems. |

As ususal, your comprehesive abilities are abominably low. The FACT, as in your clip of my STATEMENT, is that both versions of Paint are on all of my Win10 machines, and that Windows neither reintroduced or replaced Paint on those machines. That is neither an opinion nor an attitude. What you stated regarding the quality of an OS is your OPINION (and the archetypal definition of arrogance as well). You might find that owning a dictionary is a valuable investment. -- best regards, Neil |

That is neither an opinion nor an attitude. sample size of one, and you're avoiding owning up to this part: Those that know what they're doing have not had "Windows" delete their *that* is the issue, and very much an attitude, a very arrogant one. What you stated regarding the quality of an OS is your OPINION (and the archetypal definition of arrogance as well). nope. requiring users to 'know what they're doing' just to use a product is very clearly bad design. You might find that owning a dictionary is a valuable investment. another ad hominem, and further proof you are out of touch with the world. dictionaries are online now and have been for years, no investment required and far more useful than those obsolete physical dictionaries from years past. |

Well yes, but everything else seems to open them OK. It really *is* only photos that has troubles. post a link to such a jpeg. I'll try next time I find one that I can post (mostly I am working with proprietary stuff). |

Well yes, but everything else seems to open them OK. It really *is* only photos that has troubles. that doesn't necessarily mean microsoft photos is at fault. some apps try to handle invalid files by guessing at what the invalid data should have been. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. the correct thing to do is reject all files that are non-compliant or otherwise invalid, but that tends to **** off users. on the other hand, microsoft has a long history of *generating* non-compliant files (usually intentionally), mostly videos, so it's quite possible that photos has problems with certain images. post a link to such a jpeg. I'll try next time I find one that I can post (mostly I am working with proprietary stuff). what app generated the files? |
