As I said, I don't have a good spread of images of varying file sizes and/or pixel
dimensions to really test what the upper limit is of the gallery. The two factors
are of course related but it seems to me the gallery is having more a problem with
the image size than the file size. Also, I just can't track down any specifications
for the application, probably because it's just integrated into Windows.
I'm pretty content with just using IrfanView. Like I mentioned before, I've used
it before in the construction industry for viewing large, high resolution blueprints,
and it was always very agile for panning and zooming. My biggest complaint about
the photo gallery seeming broken is it makes me feel like my whole operating system
might be broken in some way, which is a very unpleasant thought.
I can definitely recommend IrfanView because it is an extremely light program that
integrates well with Windows Vista. But I'm going to keep trying to diagnose the
issue with photo gallery in the hopes there is a fix or at least some kind of diagnostic
information I can pass along to Microsoft to determine the problem.
