I'd prefer if the picture viewer had

1) An option for a solid color background instead of the desktop faded out (perhaps a strong Aero Glass-style blur would be OK as well)

2) A higher default zoom level. There's a lot of wasted border space (at least at my resolution of 1024*768)

3) A "Set as Wallpaper" button somewhere.

Otherwise, I would agree that Windows Picture and Fax viewer is soundly beat.

Nice, I was looking for a app to add text to pictures.

The photo viewer is nice and I like how they make it easy to switch back to the windows one. Anyone find out how well it works with a network setup? I backup my album to a network share and have other computers read that share but right now they only have read access.

+1 - I also wish that it had had a fullscreen mode like the Windows one. I like it but I suspect it's going to start annoying me soon.

If it helps any the background turns to grey instead see through if you press space bar...

I'd like if you could click on the background to close the viewer rather than chasing the close button. Even if it was a right click on the gray area to prevent accidental closes.

edit:

also wish scrolling was circular in that if you scroll to the end of the alavialble images (ctrl + mwheel by default) then it would wrap around to the start rather than just getting stuck on the last pic

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
