I¡¯ve been noticing that situation too, where the picture I clicked on in an album was not the one that opened, but a picture before or after the one I clicked on.
I feel that this takes us right back to the original query; does this problem manifest irrespective of the location of the photos in question, i.e. are they in
Albums or
Emailed Photos or both?
I have done some not wholly exhaustive tests this morning and while I am not going to claim that it is
not a "cache" issue I would argue that that is not the whole story.
I have found that photos in Albums and those in Emailed Photos seem to behave differently, and that it is a function of the Display / Sort Order chosen by the individual user, and I think that it all goes back to when Mark changed the default order to
Sort By Posted¡Ä. For those of use that had set up our Photo Albums to work alphanumerically this made it necessary to change the Album setting to
Sort by Title¡Ä and the album
contents to
Sort by Name¡Ä.?This made "albums" work again, but because these settings are
Account Wide (and thus Group Wide) it meant that within Emailed Photos the sort order became by Name, not Posting Date.?
At this point the two different "types" of photo differ in thier behaviour; in "proper" photo albums clicking on a thumbnail seems to bring up the correct photo irrespective of the chosen sort order,
but that is not true for Emailed Photos; clicking on a thumbnail in Emailed Photos
only brings up the correct photo if the Sort Order is Sort by Posted¡Ä,.but as mentioned above if Sort by Name is selected for other Albums then the same setting will be forced on Emailed Photos.
IMHO it would be far better if Sort by Title / Name was an option only for Albums, leaving Emailed Photos as Sort by Posted.
I hope the above makes sense... :)
