Allow user to change the frame's network password
It would be convenient to be able to change the password found in the ABOUT section on the frame to an easier password to remember when connecting to the frame via the Network section of Windows Explorer.

Dynamically sync photos from Dropbox folder
Hi,
I am lokoing at buying a few picture frames for my family.
I need the frame to be able to connect to a folder in my Dropbox folder structure and dynamically show the contents of that folder.
When I take a picture with my cell on Christmas Eve, that picture will travel up to a folder in my Dropbox account automatically. I then want the same picture to be automatically downloaded onto the Picture frame and shown for my grand parents :-)Does your product support such functionality?
1 voteHello,
Yes the pix-star does connect to Dropbox folder and auto update 2 to 3 times a day when new content is added.

Software changes notes / updated manual
I have just updated the software on my frame and noticed new features such as being able to select what transitions are in use and displaying recent pictures or latest pictures - I don't know the difference between recent and latest and these are not referenced in your user manual and these options are not available on the online configuration page - only from the actual frame.
It would be great if you had a page to show what changes are made with software, if they could be reflected in your online interface and also an updated manual to reflect…
3 votesWe added some information on the new version of the user manual and we will also put something on the FAQ soon.
In the meanwhile you may send an email to us at " info@pix-star.com ", we will provide information to help you with this.

Transitions between pictures
Is there anyway to select what transitions the frame uses to get to the next photo? I would choose to change photos more frequently but the wizy "Fly in" , "Spinning" and "Bouncing" transitions are distracting in a room.
E.g. I would go for a simple fade in, fade out which would make the frame more subtle and allow me to choose more frequent picture changes.
1 voteYES, you can.
When the slide show is playing just press MENU button. On the left side a menu bar will show up.
In this menu bar go to the 2nd button from the BOTTOM named “options”, inside go to “transition” and here select or un-select the transition you want or don’t want.
Inside there is a simple fading effect transition that you can choose.
Any problem do not hesitate to send us an email at " info@pix-star.com ".

Multi Frame Account - Select Pictures per Frame Control
With Multi Frame Account, I want to control which frames get certain pictures. My husband's parents are divorced and they HATE each other. I will be controlling the Multi Frame Account and I want to control which Frame gets which pictures cause they don't need to be seeing how the other half of the family is with my child. Also, I want to put more pictures of my family on their frames and more pictures of the husband's side on their frames.

Nicknames
I'm trying to manage my picture frames. In the select frames list, the frames are named based on the e-mail created. Right now I only have 2 frames and I'm having a hard time remembering who's frame is who's. I plan on adding at least 3 more frames. I will need to make 3 more e-mails that I will need to remember who's created e-mail applies to who. If our frames can have nicknames it'll be easier to manage. So "Alesia_Family" Frame could be nicknamed "Grandma's Frame" and "jalesia" Frame could be Dad's Frame. With the option to have 25…

Please remove the "bounce effect" when manually going thru pictures; it's really annoying!
The bounce effect is nice the first 2 or 3 times it is used; after that, it just gets annoying; and it is even more so for older people that are not used to this kind of glitz....and of course, older folks are the majority of users.
The bounce effect also seems to slow down the ability to progress rapidly through pictures. If you must keep this effect, make it optional.
This brings up another request. It would be nice to be able to manually move quickly through an album. Moving one picture at a time is tedious (especially with…
1 voteHello,
Could you contact us by email at ’ info@pix-star.com ’ we will give you an updated version without this bounce effect.
To navigate more quickly inside an album that is playing in the slide show use the THUMBNAIL this has been design for quick navigation.
When slideshow is playing, press the MENU button then choose the 3rd button from bottom the thumbnail will open then navigate quickly to the picture you want to show and press OK/Play to play it back in slide show.

I need to remotely enable/disable the viewing of pics from an attached USB drive.
While I can remotely select the albums to cycle through, I cannot find a way to remotely select whether or not the pictures on an attached USB drive are included in the slide show. Since a USB drive can contain thousands of pictures, this ability would be very handy to have. It also seems pretty trivial to implement.

Connecting the frame to a NAS within the local network via SMB
Dears,
it would be nice to connect the Frame via the smb-protokoll to a NAS / Windows-Share and Play all found Pictures stored in all/different Folders.
If the NAS/share is updated with new files, the Frame will Play them in the future (cycling or random) without updating the Frame itselve.
Sascha12 votesHello,
for this we suggest to use UPnP/DLNA instead of Samba as it is easier to use and more suitable for this use case.

Share account photos across multiple accounts
Is there any way to use the configuration from my first frame to be used for multiple frames when linked together? It looks like just emailed photos and new shared albums are linked but I can't link an existing album.

Color on Linked Message
I am linking photos from Picasa. If the 'Already Linked' message and the 'Not Linked Message' could be in different colors, it would be much easier to differentiate between them.
1 voteHello,
now when the album is already linked the message is in RED color and if not yet linked it is blue, so it is visually more visible.
