Windows Photo Gallery -Suddenly Not Finding Pictures in Folders RE sbyun 6/29/2007 5:14:00 AM (Someone from the Product Team please help me!!!) I've been using WPG successfully for a few months. Suddenly it's not finding any new pictures in the linked folders. Details: I have a folder on my hard drive called "Pics_005". This folder is already added to WPG. Within this folder, there are 10 subfolders. When I originally added Pics_005 to WPG, the 10 subfolders were automatically detected and the pics in those subfolders automatically displayed in WPG. Now, there are 2 new subfolders in Pics_005. (12 subfolders total). WPG did not automatically detect the 2 new subfolders. So I went to File | Add Folder to Gallery and manually added the 2 new subfolders. I can see the folders in WPG's left hand pane, but I cannot see the contents of the 2 subfolders from within WPG. NOTE: I can launch Windows Explorer and see the 2 subfolders, as well as viewing the thumbnails from within Explorer. I've left WPG running overnight in the hopes that it would eventually start looking for newly added folders/images, but no dice. I also tried copying one of the 10 original subfolders (and copying the images in that old subfolder), but WPG won't work with that newly copied subfolder either.
