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 function;
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 thumb-
nail cache files will slow down operation of the
Quick View, Picture Orientation, Slideshow Setup

and Delete Pictures screens until new thumbnails are redrawn.
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 navi-
gating any Digi-Frame screen containing thumb-
nails (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 com-
mand. 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.

Delete Pictures:

The Delete Pictures screen allows you to delete
images from your memory cards. Navigate this
menu just like the Quick-view menu. Highlight the
thumbnail of the image to be deleted and click the
Menu Wheel. 

You will be asked to confirm deletion. Click again to delete the
image. Press (

;

) to return to the thumbnails, without deleting the

image.

WARNING:
The delete pictures menu permanently removes images
from the memory card.

Quick-Format Card:

This function quickly erases all files and folders
from your storage card. There is no way to undo
this action, so you should be careful not to erase
important pictures without first backing them up
onto your computer.
This function will also repair minor data corruption,

e.g. the type of corruption that occurs if you switch off the Digi-
Frame while transferring pictures. For major data corruption (card
not recognized by camera or Digi-Frame, etc), use your camera or
computer to perform a full format on 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 quick-format.

System Information:

The System Information screen displays the version
number of the firmware currently in your Digi-
Frame™ and information on any memory cards
currently inserted.

To Exit the menu system at any time press the (

;

) button.
