Hello All

Option 2 on https://windowsreport.com/files-wont-delete-windows-11/ Worked a treat.

Interestingly I entered force delete files on windows 11 into Google.co.uk running on Chrome and neither of Alfred's results showed up.

Stephen

Thank You Alfred for taking the time to do this.  You have found different results to what I did.

It might be weekend before I have time to try your ideas out.

Hello All

Not sure if this right place to ask, but thought you experts could maybe help me.

If you see my recent post re AlbumPlus you will see I have stubborn file I can't delete

Does anybody have any ideas on how to delete a file from windows 11 that refuse to be deleted ?

many thanks

Stephen

Whilst testing out other software (Ifranview and XNview) I started to encounter problems with one folder of photographs and managed to crash Ifranview. By process of elimination I found a photograph that no software could open and I was unable to delete. I tried a few 3rd party deletion tools and they also failed.
Eventually I renamed my master phot folder, then restored my backup copy.
The dodgy photo in the backup opened successfully.

Fingers crossed AlbumPlus X4 appears to be working again.

Hello All

I have several thousands of images that I view manage using AlbumPlus X4.  They are spread over about half a dozen Albums.  My main album contains over 10,000 images.

I have found now I can open albumplus and my main Album is currently operating as it should however if I try to open or swap to another album the program stops responding and then dies.

I guess this is the beginning of the end for AlbumPlus X4.

Therefore I suppose I better start looking for a replacement piece of software.

Can any of you recommend a replacement I could use. My main requirements would be
Be able to search using the existing tags applied by Albumplus (I believe they use the IPTC system) - ideally display results as thumbnails
Be able to add tags to new images
This one might be pushing it a bit - keep the tag hierarchy that Albumplus has
Ideally freeware however if it's the right software I would consider paying  (preferably not a monthly subscription)

Many thanks in advance

Stephen

Sorry Alfred I meant updates to Windows not Photoplus - having read my post again I see how you could have mis understood.

Hi all

The title as good as says it all.

I tried to open Photoplus x5 today, I get splash screen then program shuts down. I'm running Windows 11, have the latest updates finally stopped photoplus working ?

Any help appricated

Thanks

Stevie

In the end I had an I5 chip with integrated Graphics.  I have successfully been using MoviePlus X5 with no problems.

Hi Vicki

What coincidence, I've brought last 2 PC's from PCSpecialist and thats where I was looking at the moment.

Hello All

Might need to look for a new PC soon, just wonder your thoughts on whether integrated graphics are good enough these days or should I spend on a dedicated graphics card.

thanks for any help / advice

Thank you for setting this up Alfred.

The amount of information I got from the CommunityPlus forums was invaluable. More often than not I found solution without posting a question.  When I did ask, I nearly always got a prompt pleasant informative reply.  Hopefully this will continue.

Serif software I heavily use MoviePlus X5, PagePlus X9, AlbumPlus X4, PanoramaPlus X4 and less often PhotoPlus X5.

Thanks Stevieg
