Sorry. That's not quite correct. 1. You can view all of your photos in the library if you want. You can only see 98 at a time to start and you can view 98 more. and 98 more. and 98 more. There's a little link in the bottom right of the overlay when making a tip. 2. You can indeed switch from one folder to the next. If you are in a folder, Just click Photo Library at the top of the overlay and you can see all your folders again. 3. Thumbnails seem big enough for most folks to know which ones to use, but if you've uploaded every single image you might have to look closely. I personally don't upload every single photo into the library to start with. 4. I'm not sure what you mean by the library is useful only if I know from the start exactly which photos I want to use. All you have to do is upload all your images into the library (leave out obvious ones you don't want, or pick the ones you know you do want) Then when you go make your tips, you can pick them. You CAN switch between folders at any time, and you CAN see more than 98.

As I told you before, I can view folders with over 120+ photos and see them all while building tips. So the 98 thing is no issue with me. I'm beginning to wonder if you have browser issues maybe?

Hi grandma, To organize your photos in the photo library I will suggest to you create a separated folders named by locations/trips/date…etc. when you use any photo from those folders automatically will be moved to “All photos” folder , at the end you will know which photos not being used if you find it stile in the separated folders you have “29,578 Photos” (*-*) ,,,, wish that helpful BR,

I do upload just the appropriate photos for tip making from one trip in one folder.

OK I found it - on the bottom. I just have to remember to scroll with the wheel on my trackball. If I forget and try to use the side bar on the page, the photos in the library instantly vanish. Am I screwed if I don't have a scroll wheel? If I use the touchpad on the computer it doesn't have a scroll wheel.

I don't upload every photo I have, but I normally take 100-200 photos a day on a trip. I'm slowing down now that I'm older because I just don't move as fast but my eyesight isn't as good as it was when I was young either. If I take a photo with one salient item in it, but the item is kind of small - it will pop out in a regular postage-stamp-size-thumbnail like on a tip, but not in the tiny thumbnail in the photo library. Preaching to me about "most folks" being able to see what the images are doesn't help at all. I don't care about most folks. Most folks will get older too.

Preaching? Hmmm...that's the thanks I get :) "Billy Ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gathered around and started talkin' That's when Billy would take me walkin'..."

You said you didn't upload every photo you had, as if I did. And I don't. I have uploaded maybe three or four locations while I was trying the photo library out, and then decided that it wasn't that much longer just to upload from the computer. I was trying it again because I had a bunch of prints scanned from and old trip - way way before digital cameras, so the quality isn't as good, but they still do illustrate my points. I tried hard to eliminate the ones I'd already used but it is difficult to go back and fill in. I try not to use a photo more than once. For some reason I was thinking I had to look at the top of the page instead of the bottom. What do I do if I don't have a scrolling wheel to get down there?

Hi. You don't need a scrolling wheel on your mouse. There is a slider on the right side of the photo player. You use that.

When the window pops up with the library, showing the folders, and you want to close it down unused, there is no scroll bar and the wheel is needed to bring the popup down to find the X to close it. That's my experience on Firefox anyway.

We're talking about selecting more of the 98 photos. No wheel needed. Now, let me understand what you mean. You are on a tip let's say and you want to add photos from the library. You click add from libary and a layer comes up. You decide you don't want to use it. You just click the X top right. Done. What am I missing?

OK then it's my problem probably my browser or settings. I don't see the X until I move the layer down to reveal it (need the wheel to do that). I think ranger and I were discussing this earlier.

I'm using FF too. Why don't you use the slider on the right side of your browser to bring the layer down?

It doesn't do that job with that first layer showing folders. That layer just sits there partially out of sight .

What do you have your resolution set at? Can you take a screen shot? No idea what you mean?

Don't worry, it's probably my settings. I'll try another computer and see if it's the same. But if it's not happening for you then it's likely my settings.

Yes it is a resolution issue. thanks.

It is easy enough to close the photo library - all you have to do is try to use the slider on the side of the original window where you are writing the tip and poof the photo library window disappears. (I don't think that is the way it was supposed to work, but that works). I wanted to know how to get to the bottom to click on more photos though - I don't want the window to disappear.

Just slide down and reach the link that says 98 more...

The link is just below the bottom of the screen when I slide down to the bottom of the photo library page. I can't get to it without a scroll ring on my trackball. That's why I never knew it was there - I couldn't see it.

I'm trying to figure out why you can't use the slider in the right of the layer

Barbara, when you have that problem of not being able to get to the bottom, try Ctrl+- (that is CTRL plus minus keys simultaneously) and the bottom of the layer should become visible. Give it a go, it worked for me. G the scroll bar is not the issue, because the "View xx more" link doesn't move with the scroll. It is 'outside' the area that scrolls. I'm sure this is an issue of the layer being too big because of the resolution. The Ctrl+- reveals all, try it. You try Ctrl++ and you will see what we are talking about.

I'm not Barbara, but thank you for that - that explains what I have to do. G - when I open the photo library album in FF, neither the top nor the bottom of the sub-window with the photos is visible. I can scroll as much as I want on the side - it slides the photos up and down, but does not move the window so I can see the top or bottom. If I forget and try to move it with the main window scroll, the whole photo library window disappears.

Oh dear, sorry R. Humble apologies!! I'm getting old clearly!! But anyway if you do what I said, I'm fairly confident it will fix your issue. Only thing is, I like to return to the larger resolution when I'm done, by using Ctrl++. Is a pretty easy fix and return, not to much of a hassle. Lets know how you get on :-)

I have a sister named Barbara and people were always getting us confused so it wasn't completely unusual and I knew who you probably meant.

LOL :-)
