I've put "avatar" PNGs for some of my contacts in "My Pictures", and these are displayed when I go into Album or Slideshow.
The standard contact avatars (i.e. "~Avatar-xx.png) are in the same folder, but they don't display - anyone know how this works? I'd like to exclude my own contact pictures in the same way (but display other files I have in "My Pictures").
If I go on Windows Live Messenger, the user display pictures of people that are online are automatically cached as part of the entire WinMo/XPERIA contacts. When I add the contact to TouchFLO I can't find the secret/hidden folder where Messenger caches these display pics so that I can set them as the photo for the TouchFLO contact. Or.... is there any way to automatically import/integrate the WinMo contacts with TouchFLO?
Okay so I found them cached at \Application Data\Windows Live\Tiles
They are simply JPEG's with base64-encoded file names that have no extensions.... how annyoing.......
soooooo???
How to add MP3 music contacts by category (family, friends etc ...)?

Why can't I view photos on my contacts facebook album on the People Tab?
Hi Guys,
I have a bit of a strange question, but it's been bugging me for days.
I use Picasa and Google+ to organise my thousands of photos.
When I take photos on my camera, I'll upload them onto my laptop, organise them in Picasa and then sync to web so that the album appears as a Google+ album. If I then later add any photos from my phone to the album (auto-uploaded from my Nexus 4) they automatically get synced to my Picasa album on my laptop. Everything works perfectly.
However, should I create a Google+ album directly from my auto-uploaded photos from my Nexus 4 i.e. I don't have any photos on my camera so don't use Picasa to organise anything. How do I get the new album to sync to Picasa so I can view it on my laptop and see it with the rest of my photos offline?
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance!
I personally do not use the desktop application, but version 3.9 of Picasa is supposed to transition support over to Google+ in place of Picasa Web Albums. Is your installation of Picasa fully updated?
Yes it's up to date and doesn't use picasa web albums i.e. it sync with my google+ albums.
However the problem is if I add a new album in Google+ from my autobackup pictures, it doesn't sync with my desktop version of Picasa

Hmmm, I can see how this is annoying. As a potential workaround en route to a Google resolution, you might first try creating an album in Picasa on your desktop, setting up for Sync to Picasa Web/Google+ and then moving pictures from Google+ Autobackup to that newly created album. See if it syncs then. Just trying to determine if the issue is with sync or creating an album on Google+ first.
ignore.. see below
Thanks for your help, but I FINALLY figured out a solution (with the help of another forum):
Launch the Picasa application on your computer. In the File menu, choose "Import from Web Albums..." Leave the "Import all albums not currently on this computer (Uncheck to choose manually)" check box checked and select "OK." If you have a large number of files stored in your Picasa Web albums account, be prepared to wait a little while as your entire account downloads. Note that Picasa will not download duplicate files onto your computer.
Hope this helps others
