Order of pictures on internal memory? Should I just be grateful that my frame seems to work?

It seems to be a strange combination of order by filename and last access date. As you did I put my file names in alpha numeric order but they were still out of order on the frame. I used the command "dir /ta /od" and found that the pictures on the frame were showing up in the same order as the last access dates. I found a utility called dirdate (http://www.datamystic.com/dirdate.html) and was able to use it to grab the modified date from the original file and change the last access date on the Pandigital device to it. This put my pictures in date order. After doing this I found that most of the pictures were in the right order, but those with filenames that had only numbers popped up to the beginning of the list. For those I renamed the file and reset the last access date using the dirdate utility. To grab the date from the original file's modified date I used the dirdate command: dirdate -READONLY -LASTACCESS file=&lt;original_file_name&gt; &lt;filename_on_Pandigital&gt; To set the last access time on a file to something I wanted I used: dirdate -READONLY -LASTACCESS hour=09 min=28 day=26 month=06 year=2007 &lt;filename_on_pandigital&gt; If you really want to get fancy and have a lot of files to re-timestamp you can use a "for loop". The following command should work for you provided that the modified time of the file's are correct and you just need to update the last access time. This command will operate on every file in the directory. It will not work on files with $ in the name (you can change the delims to fix that). It will work on files with spaces in the name. for /f "delims=$" (`dir /b .'); do dirdate -READONLY -LASTACCESS file="%i" "%i"

Sorry! Looks like that's a negative. I just fired my IncrediSonic up with a USB stick full of photos and it does *not* shuffle photos in a random sequence. It does show a slideshow of all your JPG photos and automatically cycles through them in order, but there is no feature to randomize the order of the photos.

usually the first few shots are okay, but after that, the camera has a long processing time between shots. there's nothing that can be done about it. it's a memory issue.

Angelica B. response is correct ....the internal memory of scanner will only do maybe 10 to 12 pix...

Yes. I loaded about 400 pictures to a SD card and inserted it into the frame. Worked great!

Hi Amy, the memory is not on board, you must load pictures on a USB Drive or SDcard, then insert the USB/SDcard into the frame and keep it inserted. Colleen

If your folks are not computer savvy, forget about transferring the pics to the frames internal memory. Keep it simple. Just place the camera's memory card in the frame and watch the slide show. BTW, my folks are in the same age bracket and tech skill level as yours. I bought the frame for them for Christmas. I've been playing with it and like it so much I'm going to get one for myself. I've looked and tried other brands but there is nothing that compares to the Philips.

I'm wondering, does this frame allow you to select the order of your pics or is it only in random order?Also, can I play music while pics are showing in slideshow mode or is it just one or the other?

It's really easy to download pictures to an SD card, then just pop the SD card into display. I don't remember having to do anything else. All my pictures came up fine. I don't believe there is internal memory if that's what the question is actually asking.

There are instructions that tell you how. It's easy to switch back and forth between video and photos. I've had some trouble with the camera or the speed of the micro SD card not being able to write fast enough. The result is that the image gets stuck on a frame. If you're looking for a reliable camera, I would search elsewhere. This behaves more like a toy!

this digital picture frame does not allow you to shuffle the display order ... it always displays the photos in the same order as saved to disk ... we have four digital picture frames now and this one is a very good value ... best regards, JR Curtis

I only have about 300 photos on mine and it seems to eventually get to all of them, sometimes repeating some of them. My only suggestion would be to put the photos in ascending order ( and moving some to mix it up) and put the frame on photo order. Sorry I can't think of anything else.

Always FORMAT new cards first in camera, I have been using the 16GB for quite sometimes now, no problem what's so ever!! Good luck!!

There is no internal memory. So it depends on the size of the memory card that you use.

Hi Dr. Atomo, as part of normal operation, file number sequence for images cannot be changed. That is the reason why whenever you format a memory card, file numbering will start from the beginning. -Ely

If formatted for FAT32 initially, it should go between systems without difficulty. On one of my LaCie units I formatted only a small section of it for PC just to enable me to take images back & forth between systems.

I haven't narrowed down a specific time this occurs...It def occurs when using flash and in low lighting, but occurs at other times as well. Using a very good memory card, can't remember off top of head but it has tons of storage. I have not reformated, my husband keeps telling me too :)Shooting in jpeg only.Guess I'll try reformating first! That would be too easy!
