sync pix-star folders with my smugmug.com account
Thanks for the wonderful digital picture frame! After using it for a couple days, I thought it would be even better if you could update it such that
folders in my pix-star sync automatically with folders in my smugmug.com account. It will be a win-win-win for you and smugmug and users, for example, I will only need to upload once, either to smugmug or to pix-star, you will not worry about the memory limitation in pix-star (new folders can be downloaded to over write old ones), smugmug will expand the viewers with pix-star.1 vote -

Periodic Re-Scan of Network Folders
I am an amateur Photographer - I store my pictures on my Photography PC and have sync software that distributes those pictures to my other PCs (for screensaver and viewing on the road) and to my NAS for long-term Storage. I would love it if the frame had an option to periodically rescan the selected folder(s) - perhaps as it is entering the stand-by mode? - to assure that the slideshow always contains the most recent entries to the folders.

Please use the email title used when emailing a picture from smartphone app as a caption for each picture
Please use the email title used when emailing a picture from smartphone app as a caption for each picture
7 votesHello,
You can already display the subject of the email as a caption at bottom of the image in the slide show inside the frame.
Go to change settings menu then to Slide show menu.
here go to
display details.
inside choose " display subject".
then in the slide show the subject will show on the picture.
REAMRK: this does not work in collage mode you need to switch to the mode where it shows 1 picture at a time on the screen.

Questions on Pix-Star Google Photo Integration
I keep all my photos organized on Google Photos....I am looking for a frame that will randomly cycle my photos from Google Photos so I do not have to update the frame manually each time I have new photos.

Allow multiple folders to play, but not all
I would like the ability to select multiple (but not all) folders to be played. It looks like it's either one or all. How about some in-between? I have to work around this by creating a new folder and copying the ones I want to play to it, then select this new folder to be played.
7 votesHello,
While it is true you cannot do this selection from the web site, you can do it inside the frame going to “my web albums pictures” menu inside the frame then enter inside the supplier name and then inside you can select the albums to play.

Be able to add photos to existing albums.
It seems you can't add upload pictures to an existing Web Album that has been created. You can Copy to an album, but that just requires an extra step of creating a new album, and then copying to the album you want.
1 voteHello,
yes it is possible from the inbox to copy pictures to an existing pix-star web album.
just select the pictures, then in the drop down menu choose the destination web album and they are copied.

Display the reminders for each day with the daily information pages (calendar and weather).
I would like to use this feature to remind my mom of appointments but I'm afraid she won't be looking at the frame when the reminder is displayed. If the reminders were displayed with the daily information, she would be more likely to see this information. Thank you!

Data plan?
I am looking at buying this for my son's 87 year old great-grandmother. But she does not have wifi or even internet access. Could it be possible to connect this through my data plan, like I do for a tablet? Maybe that is already a feature?

Yes you can put your tablet or smartphone in hotspot mode and connect the frame to this device using the Wifi connection.

Rename web albums
Please make it possible to rename a web album. Right now it only takes the name from the source folder (OneDrive in my instance). And I've *neatly" ordered my photos in folders accoring to year and subfolders with months. It's confusing when all my albums are "July" (that's our vacation month ;) )
2 votesRename of web album is possible already, but only for pix-star web album, it’s not possible for external web album due to technical limitations.

The ability to edit alarms/reminders online
It would be most helpful to be able to edit existing alarms and reminders online. I would love to be able to change the time on a reminder rather than having to create a new alarm/reminder with the new time and then having to delete the old reminder.
