About 9 years ago, Google hired its chief developer away from the Gallery project and put him to work on Picasa. Neither Gallery 2 nor Gallery 3 has changed much since. I think of the Gallery software as being a bit like my IIIf--it takes some TLC to use it at all, but they are still making film for it. The 90/f4 Elmar LTM is still my favorite lens of all time. For the time being, we have to consider that software as static. It runs on an ancient operating system on a virtual machine, because you can't buy real computers any more that will run that software. I am retiring in about a month, and I am retiring from my management roles in a week. I hope that I will be able to devote more time to smoothing out LUG software. There are several tabs on the "add items" page, and I might be able to get more of them to work. I've never used any but the first tab.
