I currently have all my pictures on a NAS drive and use iPhoto on a mac with a reference library pointing to the pictures on the NAS. I really like iPhoto, the interface with events, dates, facial rec, GIS location etc. Any suggestions for something similat to use on Windows 8.

thanks

Have you tried photo gallery?

Photo Gallery - Microsoft Windows

I would love to but I cannot get around this indexing error from Microsoft when I try to add my NAS folders to my Pictures folder through Managing media. Without add this folder, Pictures will not be shown unless I import them locally

Have you tried adding the NAS to Libraries > Photo?

I've never set up a NAS so I'm just spit balling.

Yes. Same problems as thousands of others, cannot add a NAS folder as the folder is not indexed error.

The only solution I have found is to sync the folder to allow offline access. Not the best way as I end up using up my PC hard drive to store a copy.

Try to use Photodali Photo Manager for Windows, Photodali - powerful and flexible photo manager for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 it's similar like iPhoto
