Recently Google introduced new service: Google Photos. All existing images stored within Google account moved into that service. I appreciate that drift towards mobile devices is inevitable, so the layout is simplified and all the options are only available after several clicks (that is 'responsive' website design accordingly to Google - as long as you use touch interface...), especially that some new cool features were added. Unfortunatelly some not very cool, but plainly necessary features seemed to disappear as well. How to set album cover in Google Photos? How to change image date in Google Photos? How to... Well, it seems the questions now need to be rephrased and start with 'Why can't I'
Luckily, there is still a backdoor to the old interface: when logged into your Google account, just follow Picasa Web Albums link, and it redirects to your album, with existing functionality. Changes applied there are visible in Google Photos interface. I'm not sure how long for that will be active, hopefully new service will be polished by then making hacks obsolete.
