Geo-Tagging pictures within WinLive Photo Gallery

Submitted by JJohnson on March 26, 2009 to Aesthetics, Usability

Problem: Older digital pictures are not geo-tagged.

Solution: Add the ability to rudimentarily geo-tag pictures that I took before having geo-tag functionality built-in would be great. If my picture were taken in Avignon, France, take the place, and tag it, with WinLive Maps confirming the location. I would then (more...)

Windows Live Contacts - full integration with Windows Contacts, Outlook/WinLive Mail contacts

Submitted by JJohnson on July 18, 2009 to Usability

Problem: there's no integration between contacts stored on my phone, my mail program (whether that be Outlook, Windows Live Mail, or whatever), Windows Contacts, and Windows Live Contacts.

Submitted by JJohnson on July 18, 2009 to Usability

Problem: If I add a spouse or children, it's relatively meaningless in my live contacts, as there's no linkage between contact profiles.

Solution: Have Spouse/Children profiles link together so that if I edit my friend Matt's profile to show his wife Melody, on the bottom of his profile is Melody's picture in a 100x100 icon with her name next to or underneath. I click on her and am taken (more...)

Calendar and Contacts - separate Programs

Submitted by JJohnson on March 18, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

Problem: I have to open Windows Live Mail to access my Calendar and Contacts.

Solution: Separate the programs out as they were in Vista. I don't use Live Mail and don't want to open a mail program to see my contacts.
