OK, I might be in a wrong thread, but I have just downloaded WLPG today, found a problem, and looking for a right place to talk about it.

Why did I download it? I wanted to preview and resize a photo. There simply does not seem to be any suitable tool to perform such a mundane task in Windows 7 beta!

Now, WLPG does allow one to do that, but only if the file is already part of the gallery. No, wait, not the file, the whole folder, where it is!.

Please tell me, why there is no simple File->Open menu that would allow one to open a file, preview it, and then if I like the file, to add it to whatever gallery or library, if I choose to have one. If I double click on a picture file, it will open it, but no resize option would be available and no add to gallery either - only add folder to gallery. Thus using this app basically forces me to put photos in certain folders only, otherwise it's not useful. Or alternatively, include the whole computer in the gallery. Also rather ridiculous.

Might not be the right place to ask, but is there any API to upload photos to Skydrive other than making a plug-in for WLPG?

@Luap777

There is no public API available for SkyDrive so you can't make a plug-in that talks to SkyDrive.
