Feature Request: New Display Picture Organiser

Hi, I'm not sure where we're supposed to suggest features or who we're
supposed to tell what we want in Messenger so I'm gonna post here. Do any of
the Messenger team read this?

I was speaking to some friends online and they started talking about
something they want in Messenger. They're not exactly the type to sign up for
a beta or read the Messenger Blog and I think Microsoft should be trying
harder to reach these sorta people for new opinions on Messenger.

Anyway, this is what was said:

Smelly says (23:54):
what i dont like about msn is changing ur picture
its annoying me more and more
it takes ages
Underpants says (23:55):
yeahhh
Smelly says (23:55):
when before u could do it in a flash
Underpants (23:55):
i like the little "frequently used dps" section
Smelly says (23:55):
and if ive already got a pic on the list, i have to go through it all
it jumbles up all ur pics now when u click "show all"
Underpants says (23:55):
now its not even in alphabetical or chronological order, the pictures are
just randomly in some list
yeah
Smelly says (23:56):
i use to like seeing old pics at the top of the list and the recent ones at
the bottom
Underpants says (23:56):
nah... i didn't
it shouldn't be like a list
it should be almost like a my computer folder... but not. but u'd be able to
change the views so u could show thumbnails or icons and u should be able to
sort by name or date created or size etc
Smelly says (23:58):
the barrrstards.
Me says (23:58):
Yeah, I agree. They need a new display picture organiser.

So yeah, there you have it. I changed their names, but does anyone else
agree? Isn't the Display Picture thingy just confusing now and don't you
think a new Organiser should be released. Perhaps it should be an actual
folder on My Computer, with another interface in Messenger like Sharing
Folders can be accessed from My Computer and Messenger. It'd be a lot easier
to add/remove pictures from the list.

Greetings,

Yes they do read it.

This is a common complaint and also is an issue with emoticons too.
