  1. Bulk download: include Sender as a sub-folder in the ZIP folder

    When I bulk download pictures from the web-site, group pictures by the senders' e-mail addresses (as subfolders in the .ZIP file). That will allow me to make a full backup and not lose the sender information.

  2. Display Outlook Calendar

    I would like to see my personal Daily Outlook Calendar every 10 photos or so. Outlook resides on my desktop computer where I am linking via Wi-Fi/DLNA to my photos in the Pictures folder in Windows 7.

  5. I have noted that there is a lag in the syncing of the pictures with the caption. Can that be matched up?

    Perhaps there is a way to sync this process every once in a while as it lags

  7. Dropbox Access issue

    When I tried to import an external photo album with Dropbox it brought up a dialog box asking me to grant access to pix-star to my Dropbox. I clicked OK. But when it went to next screen it says it can't access my Dropbox account. I deleted the web album for Dropbox online and tried to set it up again but keep getting the same access denial. How do I get it to ask me to grant access again from my iPad and Google chrome? I don't see a setting to erase cache, which might solve the problem on a…

    hello,

    try to go to your dropbox account and to the configuration panel of this account inside the dropbox web site, here there is a section that shows the APPs that have been authorised, you should see pix-star app, here REVOKE this app (delete the authorisation).

    then try again from pix-star.com

    for further question about this issue contact us by email at info@pix-star.com, not using this forum.

    Thank you.

  10. Add the ability to manage inbox folders from web

  12. A remote control for the elderly with 3 large buttons only. Back, forward and stop. Hide the rest under a flip up cover.

    Many older people ( and younger ones!) get confused trying to operate a remote control. The maze of buttons is overwhelming to them. And if arthritis sets in, it's almost impossible to use one. Would you look into a remote that has only 3 large buttons showing, - back, stop and forward. Hide the remaining necessary ones under a flip cover so they can't be seen....Out of sight , out of mind. I am impressed by your frames and am buying one for my 89 year young mother. Thanks!

  15. Idioma

    Gave as a gift to my mom a Pix-Star and she is very happy, the device is really good, deserves the accolades that make the criticism. I suggest that you can select the language to navigate around the site, because as the picture frame is sold worldwide this should allow the choice of language, in our case the Portuguese of Brazil. Thanks for listening!

    We double checked on thislife.com web site and as of today they still don’t provide any way for 3rd parties to access pictures stored inside their service.

    Shutterfly DOES provide an API that allows 3rd parties to access users pictures with authentication (and we use it, so Pix-Star users can access shutterfly pictures), but thislife.com not (at least “not yet”).

    So for this reason we cannot add this provider right now. You may contact thislife.com people and mention this problem to them, see if they can do something

  17. Stitching photos together

    I love my pixstar photo frames (I have several now). However one function I would love to see is linking photo so they play in a short sequence (almost like a slowmo movie). I love the random picture with my dropbox photo album but sometimes I have a action sequence or a before/after photo it would be great if I could somehow stick them together (had consider recording them in flash or as a video for play back but pixstar does not support this etc) and when the pixstar came across that grouped picture set it played them as a…

  18. Provide a way to review and approve photos using the Web interface BEFORE they get transferred to the frame

    We've got a multi-frame set-up with frames in several buildings. We want to allow people to send photos to the frames, but have to be careful about pranksters sending inappropriate photos. I know we can enable the feature to not automatically display new photos, but somebody has to go to each building to review and approve the photos. It would be nice if we could approve the photos using the Web interface BEFORE they get sent to the frames.

    As a workaround, we're going to restrict the frames so only one person can send photos to them, and everyone will…

  19. Combine UPnP folders with other sources

    It would be very beneficial to be able to combine a UPnP server source with all other sources currently available. This way, you could truly have a "Play All Pictures" option available if you are taking advantage of the local pictures, emailed pictures, web albums like Flickr and a UPnP source.
