Fixes
-
Fixed photo album membership persistence when adding newly discovered media.
-
Fixed album picker selection and Lumia theme rendering issues.
-
Fixed album counts that could include unavailable or stale item IDs.
-
Fixed media-index persistence so filtering the Photos or Videos view cannot remove the other media type from the shared index.
-
Fixed deletion wording to use file/files, correctly covering photo, video, and mixed selections.
-
Fixed removal of indexed media and cached thumbnails when OneDrive reports an item deleted or moved out of a selected folder.
-
Added thumbnail-file synchronization and transient-network retries to prevent cache access conflicts and improve refresh reliability.
-
Fixed opaque transient HTTP errors during photo and video thumbnail loading by retrying thumbnail requests and keeping the media grid usable if they fail.
-
Fixed a Mobile startup XAML parsing crash caused by an unsupported File info icon.
-
Fixed image-based Live Tiles to include Mobile-compatible medium and wide bindings without filename overlays.
-
Limited SD-card Camera Roll discovery to likely camera-folder paths, preventing a manual check from traversing an entire removable drive.
