Help me, O great Internet hive-mind
Aug. 20th, 2019 12:42 am.
EDIT: I've remembered -- It's Windows Photo Viewer (from W 7). I've found directions... if I get it to work, I'll make a post so I can find it next time. It's kind of complicated. Dagnabit! I'm pretty sure last time I could just download Photo Viewer. Why not now? Who the hell knows!
My dad had a saying -- "They take something good and improve it till it's worse." True, true, true. *retires to grumble in my beard some more*
Original plea --
So, Microsoft pushed a new update today. And, once again (I think this is the third damn time), it screwed with my defaults. I'll find out which ones as I need them, but I just tried to view a photo from one of my folders. My old program is gone, and my choices are Windows Photos, Paint, or Photoshop or several I don't know.
I don't want any of those -- but I don't remember what I was using. It's from several years ago; when I opened a photo it filled the screen. There were a few controls at the bottom -- enlarge, or rotate -- but no editing controls at the top (as show in Windows Photos).
Does anyone remember what that program was? The last time this happened -- I think when I switched to Windows 10 -- I was able to download my preferred photo viewer from the internet and install it... but I don't even know what to search for.
Anybody got any ideas?
And for the record, I finally fired off a hostile email to microsoft. There's no reason at all that they can't design their updates to LEAVE THE FUCKING DEFAULTS ALONE!!!!!
I'll be over in the corner, snarling quietly to myself.
