Yes it has made very much convenient. WLPG is improving day by day by adding very good features.

I had also blogged about the same few days back. Please check the link.

When is the 64-bit version of Vista going to stop getting treated like the red-headed stepchild? I wanna play with your cool toys too. Will the 64-bit version be supported when this first goes live?

Hi snekse, short answer: YES! Soon, very soon.

You might have already seen this in my comment to the earlier post but the date change on file rename is really stopping me being seamless. I have hundreds of photos I could work through really quickly if it wasn't for this.

(If I rename a photo then WLPG 'loses' it - any tags, rotations and other changes are lost and I can't upload it to Flickr; with the upload I get a 'try later' error, with local functions I'm told that the file of the original name doesn't exist.

Hitting refresh on the gallery doesn't help. If I go to the folder and open the image in WLPG and then Go to gallery I see both the original and the renamed image. The original has the tags I applied, the renamed image doesn't and it shows up with today's date not the date I took the photo. If I look in the EXIF via Properties the Date taken and Date acquired are correct as per the original but the Date created and Date modified are today - and that's what WPLG seems to use to display them. If I use the option to change the time I took the photos it starts from today's date rather than the date taken. I used OneNote to grab images that show all this if they help.

The problem is not just the date issue itself - though I have lost confidence in the app; it's the workflow. I want to go through a batch of photos, tagging and rotating and naming the ones I plan to upload to Flickr something better than Las Vegas (159). I have the sidebar gadget showing photos and when I see one that needs work or that I really like I can get it straight up to Flickr - but renaming the photo means I have to go in and out of WPLG like a revolving door. Please help!)

Is there a way to add other publishing plugins? I'd love to see one added for Community Server's Gallery (ya know the thing that powers MSDN's blogs).

I love Windows Live Photo Gallery's integration with flickr -- it's great! However... I notice one of the same problems someone pointed out in comments on a previous blog post... For example, today, at 13:25, I published to flickr a bunch of pics I captioned and tagged earlier in the day (while I was on the road). When uploaded, flickr shows the "Date Taken" as today at 13:25 -- when, in fact, they were taken yesterday (12/26) at 19:30 or so. I know the EXIF date is correct, the file's creation date is correct... so I'm not sure what's going wrong where... Perhaps it's flickr? Anyone have any clues?

Its simply awesome and what's more the upload feature is even better than Flickr's one upload tool,but I wish Windows Live photo Gallery comes out with a plugin for uploading to Picasa web albums as well as Skydrive.

Guess that would take care of all the uploading problems and bid adieu to Picasa.

I'll join the call of a few other posters - let's get this thing opened up to third party plugins! I'm a big fan of Live Photo Gallery, but have no desire to use Live Spaces or Flickr.

The existing publish / subscribe providers are already enumerated in the registry (under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Live\Photo Gallery\PubSubProviders), which tells me it's provided by "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Photo Gallery\WLXMediaPublishSubscribe.dll". Surely this is pointing to the fact that plugins to other photo hosting (or whatever) sites are available? All we need is an SDK...

That said, there are already some hacks around to use the print providers mechanism to publish to web sites, but you lose the ability to do re-sizing before sending.

I'd like an sdk available as well. The fact that there is a "More Services" available is just asking for the ability to publish to more than just Flickr.

Flickr's great, but I have a significant amount of photos on Picasaweb, and I'd love to be able to bid goodbye to Picasa and publish straight to my Picasaweb album directly from Windows Live Photo Gallery.

If an sdk IS available, I might even be inclined to write my own "Upload to Picasa" plugin.

Give us an SDK!
