[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 553567, member: 27204"] Ideally it would be nice to create groups i.e. Photo Albums. However, I assume this would require a new field in the Pictures DB for Group or Album. And then users would have to tag all their pictures. If that sounds impractical, then I vote +1 for Playlists. At least then users could group photos in a playlist regardless of what folders they are stored in, and produce a slideshow from the results. IMO the worst part of Pictures is that it displays poor quality thumbs (until you "show" the picture), especially when displaying the Windows folder.jpgs which are not designed for MediaCenter display. The second worst thing is that you cannot apply borders to the images, so as a skinner you have to define a separate image control for the frame. Since pictures are of variable sizes, it is almost impossible to get a great looking display. [/QUOTE]
