SSW Better Software Suggestions

Do you agree that products always have room for improvement?

"Every day there are little things in software that we find annoying. Some write books about it, like Annoyances.org, but I thought this site would be more constructive.

BetterSoftwareSuggestions.com is proudly maintained by myself and the developers at SSW."

Help me have a cleaner UX when adding a printer

By Adam Cogan in Windows 10 August 12, 2019 0 Comment

1. Is there a good reason for Microsoft to still show old options in the Windows 10 ‘Printers & scanners’ UI?

The XPS options died years ago, so it is time to remove the option “Microsoft XPS Document Writer”

2. And while we are here, no-one has a scanner anymore, so change the UX from “Printers & Scanners” to the more simple ‘Printers”

Let me resize images on Photos App

By Tiago Araujo in Windows 10 September 29, 2017 0 Comment

I have a lot of editing options on Photos App for Windows 10, but I can’t resize. Had to open Paint to do so. Photos Apps should have this functionality or at least link me to Paint.

Figure: Windows 10 Photos built-in app doesn’t have a resize functionality
