  2. Provide an option to download pictures to your PC

    We have people from all over submitting pictures to our frame to keep Mom up to date on our lives. I wish we could download them to my PC both for backup, but also to be able to make prints and videos incorporating those photos.

  3. Improved Randomization Logic

    The current Randomizing option will cycle through photos however it tends to repeat multiple photos throughout the slideshow. I especially noted that if the photo frame goes to sleep for some time, it seems to start back at the beginning of the previous randomization cycle.

    An improved randomization logic would be one where photos will not repeat, until every picture has been viewed. This could be accomplished with a logic that would have to maintain a table of all the photos listed and it would randomly hit each photo, but without repeating. Once the last photo is triggered, then the…

    Hello,

    our implementation already works exactly as you describe:

    step 1 a list of all the picture to be played in the slide show is built.

    step 2 their position (index) is shuffled in the list by changing randomly their position.

    so this method is a 100% guaranty that each picture plays only 1 for sure.

    of course if you do have duplicate inside the frame then in the random they are also duplicate.

    but the random method by itself for sure does not create duplicate it is impossible with this method.

    Hello,

    There is already such feature in the web site.

    Select the picture to copy then just above the pictures at the right click on the drop down menu saying " copy picture to web album" and select the destination album.

    remark: you must create the web albums first int eh page " view my web albums".

  5. Reminders online

    I need to be able to create the reminders online. The remote control is too cumbersome without an actual keyboard and only up and down arrows. Additionally I need to be able to do it remotely.
    Also, I need these reminders to stay up the whole day or at least for an extended amount of time. They can appear at the bottom of the pictures.
    Birthday reminders should have a setting to repeat annually and stay up all day (like the weather).

  6. 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.

  9. Allow reminders to be created online.

    Currently there is no functionality for reminders or alarms online. Creating them on the frame is cumbersome due to the interface.

    Hello,
    In collage mode if you don’t want pictures to be cropped it’s possible just go to change settings menu then to slide show sub menu and here in the " display mode" choose the " collage x5 without crop " then your pictures will display as they are, no crop.

  11. Auto sync network time with a manual time zone

    I went from Central Daylight Time (CDT) to Central Standard Time (CST) last Sunday night (2017/11/05 at 2 AM).

    The pixstar is set to auto sync with the network time.

    The pixstar still says its 1 hour fast. I.E. Right now its:

    $ date
    Wed Nov 8 08:03:43 CST 2017

    But the pixstar says its: 09:03:43 !!!! I.E. it is set to the Eastern Standard Time (EST).

    You should have a manual time zone.

  12. Ethernet vs. WIFI

    A family member does not have WIFI and so would need to hook directly into their cable modem via ethernet. What is the best solution? And which frame do you recommend?

    Hello,

    Actually there is still this feature, no problem.

    Same as on the previous Android Pix-Star app, no change.

    1- if your mobile phone has physical buttons there are 2 methods to adjust slide show interval:

    a- by clicking on the MENU button when the slide show is playing and a menu shows up inside you can change the interval.

    b- or by clicking more than 2 seconds with your finder on the picture when slide show is playing this same menu shows up too.

    2- If your mobile phone has no physical buttons (for example the “Next”) then use the 2nd method above:

    - by clicking more than 2 seconds with your finder on the picture when slide show is playing this same menu shows up too.

    Hope this clarifies.

    The Pix-Star Team.

  19. 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.

  20. I want the display on all the time. I don't like the motion sensor.

    This frame I for my parents and they don't move a lot during the day but enjoy watching the frame. Is there a way to turn off the motion sensor?sleep mode and keep it on all the time?
