    So dumbed down from Live Photo Gallery that it's useless for any real image organization.

    No Tagging, no search by tag, no folder tree view, pointless and unusable partial image displayed for entire folder tree, complete lack of functionality or compatibility, awful navigation.

    Batch import and rename is not supported, People Tags are incompatible, many functions are missing
