    PhotoGallery Folders only show PUBLIC pictures ???

    Under the Folders tab, I can only see \Folders\Public Pictures\Sample Pictures.



    Nothing I do allows me to add \user\users\Pictures
    It returns an error stating it is hidden or under a system folder.

    I've double checked the rights.
    Nothing stands out.

    Is this design intent ?
    Thanks

    It looks like you've messed with the normal folder structure on your PC.

    The Public pictures folder is normally located at
    C:\Users\Public\Pictures

    and your user pictures are normally located at
    C:\Users\(youraccount)\Pictures

    why are you showing "\Folders\" and "\user\users" ?

    If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em !
    LOL

    I moved all pictures from \users\user\pictures to a legacy folder I created
    called
    C:\my documents\pictures
    I added it just fine within Photogallery.

    Time to move on...

    LOL
