Windows Live Photo Gallery

Not sure where to post this but since it's downloaded with messenger
thought I might ask here...

I've just installed windows live photo gallery as part of the upgrade to
messenger that popped up today, I've added my main pictures directy to
the program.

When I view the pictures via the directory listing (at the top of the
left panel) everything displays correctly, in directory order. When I
select the date ordered listing (again from the left panel), the
pictures are displayed but some are duplicated (one was even triplicated).

I've checked that my pictures directory wasn't included in the original
install and I've 're-added' it (which wouldn't account for the selective
duplicates though), I've removed the directory and re-added to
completely and I get the same problem.

The duplicate pictures are the exact same picture listed twice, there
are no duplicates on my hard drive. When I view the pictures via the
slideshow (clicking forward or back manually) it still show the picture
twice and thus requires two clicks to advance to the next picture.

Any ideas what's wrong (or where I should post this question?)

Many thanks,

Moo

Oh, just to confirm, the duplicates are only visible in date mode, when
viewing the pictures in directory mode (including the actual photos that
are duplicates in date mode) only the one file is show, as it should be.

Yo. I noticed that too today. I believe it is because there is more than one
location for the pic. to check, right click each and check the location. if
there is two locations, then two files.

Glad to read that you got an answer, but I thought I'd direct you to the
newsgroup for Windows Live Photo Gallery:

microsoft.public.windows.live.photogallery

It doesn't appear to be visible in the web version of the community newsgroups,
though - only through nntp using a newsreader such as Windows Live Mail or
Outlook Express.
