I bought an HP Pavilion laptop with Windows 8.1. I loaded several free programs and all my photos on it. Libre Office was one of the programs. My photos would not display in the Windows 8.1 photo app. I asked for help from HP and then Microsoft. We tried so many steps, including indexing rebuild. Nothing seemed to help until I got a suggestion at the Microsoft Community Forum that Libre Office may be blocking the photos. So I deleted Libre Office from programs and did an indexing rebuild. Surprise! Photos appeared in photo app. I have reported same to Microsoft Community Forum under Windows 8.1 photos and video. My username is Orion23WF at the forum. I am sending this message from my old Windows 7 desktop. It would be nice if this could be fixed because I really like Libre Office and would like to reinstall it.
