Gallery in File Explorer

Gallery in File Explorer

 

Microsoft gave users a sneak peek at a new File Explorer feature in Windows 11 Build 23435 that will make it simple to browse your photo library. The content displayed in Gallery is the same as in the Photos app's All Photos view.

 

The gallery is designed to make it easy to find your most recent pictures. The top of the screen will immediately display any images you capture if OneDrive Camera Roll Backup is enabled on your phone. Through the Collection dropdown, you can select which folders should be displayed in Gallery. Additionally, you may add subfolders of already-existing sources to filter a specific portion of your content, including desktop backgrounds and imports from SD cards or cameras.

 

In order to provide the same convenience of use when inputting files, creating a PowerPoint presentation, or creating social network postings, Gallery also functions from the file-choosing dialogue.

 

 

Other Changes and Improvements in Windows 11 Build 23435

General

We are continuing the exploration of badging on the Start menu with several new treatments for users logging in with local user accounts to highlight the benefits of signing in with a Microsoft account (MSA). If you see one of these treatments, give us feedback on what you think. As a reminder, it is normal for us to try out different concepts in the Dev Channel to get feedback.

File Explorer

Windows Insiders will begin noticing a “pizza” icon on the command bar in File Explorer. This icon denotes that an Insider is previewing the Windows App SDK version of File Explorer. Functionality in File Explorer remains unchanged, it just switches from using WinUI 2 to using WinUI 3.

 

Narrator

Narrator users who interact with Traditional Chinese characters are now able to do this with confidence while using Narrator and the IME candidate window in Windows. This was accomplished by creating a Traditional Chinese dictionary for detail reading. Narrator now consumes the dictionary to disambiguate each Traditional Chinese word. Users should be aware that Narrator detailed reading is only supported for the Taiwan language pack. The Hong-Kong language pack is not supported with Narrator.

 

 

Settings

We are introducing new presence sensor privacy settings and APIs. If you have a device with compatible presence sensors, you can now manage your privacy and block/allow certain apps from accessing these sensors. No images or metadata is collected by Microsoft and all processing is done locally on the device hardware to maximize privacy. You will find these settings under Settings > Privacy & security > Presence sensing here if your device supports it. App developers with devices with compatible presence sensors can target apps to request and read user presence information after requesting a human presence capability.
