Add Slides By Folder:
Some digital cameras allow you to store pictures in different
folders on the card. You can also organize your pictures in
folders using your computer and and a card reader device.
Selecting this option allows you to browse the folders avail-
able on the card and add all pictures from a particular folder
into the slideshow.
When you select this option, you may be prompted to choose which card
you want to work with (CompactFlash or SmartMedia). After this choice is
made, you will see a screen containing folder icons and names if any are
present on the card.
Use the wheel to scroll through the list of folders. Clicking the wheel will
add all pictures in the current folder to the slideshow, as well as those in
any folders inside the current folder. Press (;) to exit.
Picture Orientation:
Some of your pictures will have been taken with the camera in
a horizontal position, and others in a vertical position. The
Picture Orientation screen allows you to tell your Digi-Frame™
which is the correct position for each image. A screen of thumb-
nails is displayed for the images currently in the slideshow.
Highlight images and click the menu wheel as necessary to
rotate all the images to a vertical orientation. Once this is done,
your Digi-Frame™ will automatically rotate images as necessary
when you rotate its position from horizontal to vertical and vice-
versa.
Tools:
Selecting this menu option will take you to a screen with various
tools for working with CompactFlash and SmartMedia cards.
Rotate the wheel to select the desired function. As you change
the selection, a brief description of the current tool will appear in
the lower portion of the screen.
Clicking the wheel will execute the currently highlighted func-
tion; pressing (;) will exit the Tools menu and return to
slideshow mode.
Clean Up Card:
This function frees up as much space as possible on your
card by deleting thumbnail cache files, old software updates
and other files which Digi-Frame may have added to your
card. Removing thumbnail cache files will slow down opera-
tion of the Quick View, Picture Orientation, Slideshow Setup
and Delete Pictures screens, until new thumbnails are
drawn.
A progress bar is shown at the bottom of the screen; the progress bar is
only an estimate of the time remaining, actual time will very depending on
the contents of the card.
If you have both CompactFlash and SmartMedia cards inserted when you
select this function, you will be asked to choose which card you want to
clean up.
Optimize Card(s):
Selecting this function creates saved thumbnail files (tiny,
fast-loading versions of your pictures) for all the pictures on
your card(s). This makes navigating any Digi-Frame screen
containing thumbnails (e.g. Quick View and Slideshow
Setup) much faster.
This function creates files that will occupy some card space
(the exact amount depends on a number of factors including the size of
your card and the number of pictures on it) and it may take some time to
finish the process. You can abort this function at any time by pressing (;)
and waiting for the current image to finish (you can then go back later and
resume where you left off). It sometimes takes as long as 15 seconds to
register the abort command. This is normal.
A progress bar is shown at the bottom of the screen, and a thumbnail of
the image currently being processed is shown in the center of the screen.
The progress bar is only an estimate of the time remaining, actual time will
very depending on the contents of the card.
If you have both CompactFlash and SmartMedia cards inserted when you
select this function, both cards will be optimized.
