Question About Arranging And Viewing Photos In A Folder .....

[Gizmonster]

I have several folders with holiday photos, etc and I want to be able to view them in "filmstrip", but can't seem to find out where the filmstrip option is.

I right click and select "view" and can see options such as "large icons" , "medium icons", "details" .... etc .... but no "filmstrip".

Is this option no longer available with Win 10??

Also, I've renamed some of the folders, but I've arranged them in date order (ascending) so that when you open the folder, they're in date order.
However, when I open a picture, then scroll through using the left and right arrows, it scrolls through in name order, so everything is no longer in date order.

Any ideas please ??

In the 'View' option select "Details", then click on the "Date" field to sort the files by date.

Then, Right-click on the first date ordered photo and select "Open with">"Photos".

You should now be able to see each photo displayed in date order by pressing the forward or back arrows. You can also right-click on a displayed photo to select "Slide Show".

Changing what programme to open the photos with solved the ordering problem.
I was opening the photos with Windows Photo Viewer but scrolling through the pictures caused the problem of re-arranging the order.
Simply by switching and opening with Photos solved this - scrolling through the pictures orders them in date order.

The slideshow option is not what I'm after - it's the filmstrip that I'm after.
When you open up the folder containing all the photos, using the filmstrip option shows all the photos along the bottom of the folder, that you can scroll through. I can't seem to find this option anymore so I'm wondering if Win 10 doesn't have it ??

If you open with 'Photos' there is an option called 'View Collection' located in the top left-hand corner. Selecting View 'Collection' will display all of your photos which you then scroll / browse through.

Hope that is what you are looking for.

View Collection isn't the same as filmstrip.
I've googled it and I think it became unavailable after Win XP.
I have an old PC which I use for storing photos, which runs on Win XP, which has filmstrip - which is why I'm prob getting confused and thought it was available more recently.

Anyway, thanks for helping - have a best answer for your efforts :)
