Surface Pro 7 deal! Save big at Amazon right now
- you know how the editors of wpcentral stated more than once that they love how Microsoft started paying attention to the small details that would help make a better WP 8.1 ??
here is something I find it annoying but I can still live with it on my 920
when I'm on my photos app and I'm scrolling through the photos and I would like to delete, edit or share a photo or upload it to OneDrive Ill have to press the 3 dots on the very bottom right of the screen and then choose the desired option
Why not design a small taskbar at the bottom including all of these options directly, that would be more appealing to the current WP users and for the future users too
I hope its included in WP 8.103-01-2014 03:31 AMLike 0 - you know how the editors of wpcentral stated more than once that they love how Microsoft started paying attention to the small details that would help make a better WP 8.1 ??

current WP 8 interface --> takes you 2 steps to delete the photo
my idea --> takes you 1 step to delete the photo.
Its not simple to have all your options hidden under 3 dots03-01-2014 03:59 AMLike 0 - If you mean the AppBar as seen elsewhere in the OS, I'm pretty sure that's coming. Now you can share, delete, favourite or edit the photo with just one tap on the button. Pressing the 3 dots then reveals additional options (OneDrive, etc.).
Let me fire up the emulator and get you a screenshot... ;)- Share

- OneDrive is a separate app, so it's an app "issue," not WP8.1.

Personally I don't care either way. I'm not bothered by the 3 dots and wouldn't be bothered by an appbar.
No need to shun everyone who would like things differently.- Share

- Personally, I hate the excessive use of cryptic icons. My biggest beef with Android is that they have all these app menu icons, but I almost never see captions or labels for those buttons. It's easier for me to click on the three dots and then read the text of what I want to do ("Share") than to try to decipher and get used to the icons on the bottom of every app. It is an extra step, and I know that's usually frowned upon when it comes to UX, but I think it still makes for better UX than having unlabeled buttons. If they labeled the buttons like in iOS, that might be something worth considering.

- Calm your hormones man, those buttons are everywhere throughout WP8 , you find the Appbar in the outlook, whatsapp, messaging, and even the peoples hub. Photos app is one of few apps that's missing that Appbar
on the contrary of what you're saying, the appbar is the design language of windows phone
And no use going to Android, they're not that dumb either.

- I have Lumia 920 and I think some basic thing is necessary in WP.that is 1. Photos. Move option and copy option.2. Video sharing through Bluetooth from uc browser or from music+videos.3. Downloaded video have sharing option over whatsapp.4. App lock option for any app,particularly photos section album,saved pictures etc.5.videos hidden option.these are the basic option that Microsoft should provide.03-01-2014 01:54 PMLike 0

Absence of the three dots confused a few users at first though.

- I'd probably agree with Kage and say that if there was a three-dot menu similar to the ones in the Mail and Messaging apps that recessed after a certain time would be a nice touch. Personally I don't mind the three dots cause it doesn't get in the way of the photo as much. I wouldn't want them to completely disappear like in the Nokia Camera Beta though..03-01-2014 02:11 PMLike 0

Pictures must be seen fullscreen, and so the tap and hold seems to be a fair method.03-01-2014 02:34 PMLike 0 -
Wish they would implement it
And btw I didn't shun anyone. People attacked my idea aggressively so I had to talk back. Its that simple- Share

Pressing the 3 dots would pull up the full settings where you'll see what each symbol mean and I've seen that in many apps lately including whatsapp for instance
That's the best thing about WP that it explains what each button is for03-01-2014 04:41 PMLike 0 - Everywhere except photo viewer and video playback, coz those are the two places where the viewer wants absolutely no distraction. You want to enjoy your photos on the whole screen; not have a distracting bar on the bottom just so you can delete all the ****ty pictures you shouldn't have taken in the first place. And if most of your pictures suck, then use the thumbnail selector.
And no use going to Android, they're not that dumb either.

You have to share that photo , edit it , favorite it and delete it if you dont like it. And all of this should be one touch away from the user. that's what makes an OS successful and win the hearts of many.
I'm no photographer I take bad photos and im sure everyone else does too. So dont address me as a retard who can't use his phone.03-01-2014 04:47 PMLike 0 - You don't have to talk in that aggressive way to state your point. In the beginning you did make sense , people want to enjoy their photos. But the photos app is be more than just enjoying a photo.

Anyway, since both photos and the screen are the same aspect t ratio (~16:9) it'd be foolish not to use the full screen area. And if you read my reply for Kage Maru, maybe that's the middle ground update you were waiting for. You still have to tap the screen to bring up the bar, but you can do it anywhere and not look for the three dots in the corner. I just wish it stayed put though.

May have been a strong term but I don't think it's beneficial to our community if every idea against the norm were dismissed and suggestions to jump ship were made.03-01-2014 10:28 PMLike 0 - This is why more people are getting fat. So lifting a finger more than one time is tiring.

- what i think is missing is that the live tiles and lockscreen updates only after 30 mins. it should be changed to a second or a minute at least.03-02-2014 10:40 AMLike 0
