Windows 8 photo app "next picture" button?
I use Desktop Explorer to open my SD card, and I see thumbnails of the 80 pictures on my SD card.
I double click on a picture and Windows 8 Photo App displays it in full screen.
But Photo App does not have a "next picture" button. It is a big nuisance to have to constantly return to the desktop and select the next picture.

P.S. I find the following keystrokes simulate a "next picture" but they are a huge pain.
alt tab
Right Arrow
Enter

regmigrant solved it, there is a button that fades out after some time but gets displayed again instantly if you move the mouse.

I'll test them all when I get home tonight.
But, I am 90% sure that there is NOT a button that fades out after some time. I was specifically looking for that button, and even swung my mouse over the left hand and right hand sides of the screen hoping it would appear but it did not.
I will post again when I get home tonight.

Windows Photo App does NOT have "next" and "previous" buttons when viewing picture that resides on my SD card.
Windows Photo viewer DOES. So the points will be shared between Thomas Dark and cwstad2.
I have a theory about why the next/previous buttons are missing:
I think Photo App is designed to allow a person's Photo Libraries to be centralized in the cloud. This allows the same albums to be viewed seamlessly on iphones, androids, PCs IPads etc etc.
In order to do this, the photos must first be imported from the SD card into a specific Photo Library. After the import, that library can be browsed with next/previous buttons, "swipes", and by using the keyboard left arrow and right arrow keys. But those features are not navigating the SD card, they are navigating the cloud.
Photo App may be good for viewing cloud libraries, but it completely falls apart when in comes to viewing and editing photos directly on an SD card. The Photo Viewer program does a much better job.

Interesting. Good you found it out.
