About this tag
The tag 'external methods' on WindowsForum.com is used in the context of accessing and viewing pictures on Windows 8. Users report difficulties when trying to open pictures stored on external drives or through external methods, as the default Picture App may not function as expected. The tag captures issues related to file access, app behavior, and user experience when dealing with external storage or alternative viewing methods. Discussions often compare the experience to earlier Windows versions like Windows 7, highlighting changes in how media files are handled.
With W7 when I wanted to look at pictures I could just click on an album, enlarge it and look at each picture. Now when I click on a picture, the Picture App comes on and maybe one picture will show, I can't look at any other picture or enlarge one. I can't do anything. It is also hard to return...
