Windows 8 Sharing problem

2ndcoming

Well lads,

I am fit to kill after looking through Windows and Google at length with what strikes me as a simple problem, but I cannot for the life of me find the answer.

How do you add websites or apps to the share charm?

I am just trying to upload an album from the Photos app to Facebook but when I click on the share charm the only options are Mail, SkyDrive or MemeMaker.

Facebook is connected to my People app so I am pretty much at my wits end here trying to figure this out! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im not sure, because I go into Photo app, Share, and there it is: Post to Facebook (subscript, "People")

So the functionality definitely exists, so we're hunting down a settings issue.

edit: I poked at the Settings Charm within Photos and under options, I found a sub-link to facebook options and found this:

Try and enable those 2 highlighted features. Particularly the 2nd one. If you have trouble, try downloading Windows Live Photo Gallery for the desktop and set up Facebook within that program to see if that helps any.

That's the weird part, I found that sub-menu too and all the options are ticked already!

Hmm. I didn't do anything special to my setup besides download photo gallery 2011

Thanks for your replies, gonna try to get it sorted.

Uploaded 154 photos there one by one, the old fashioned way. Never again!

bleh.

To my knowledge Photo doesn't support batch uploads, its one at a time. Hence, I do just use Gallery 2011, its much more suited to the task.
