SmartDisk MP3 manual Photo Viewer Advanced Features, Folder Tree Mode, Viewing Long File Names

Folder Tree Mode

If you wish to navigate directly to a folder on your FlashTrax, you can use the Folder Tree view to display the folder hierarchy. While browsing in any mode, push and hold Esc for approximately three seconds, or push the FT button on the FlashTrax remote. While viewing the Folder Tree you can expand or hide the contents of a folder by pushing Right or Left or return to regular browser mode for a selected folder by pushing ENTER. Keep in mind that while in Folder Tree view you will only see folders; to view the files within the folder, you will need to return to regular browser mode.

Viewing Long File Names

In all modes (File, Music, Photo) when viewing a file name, you can scroll to see all of a long file name using the Right and Left keys.

Where Did These Files Come From?

While browsing the contents of your FlashTrax, you may notice a number of oddly named files or folders that you can’t identify. Many of these are the result of connecting your FlashTrax to a computer; most modern operating systems litter disks with a variety of hidden files. Typically these operating systems hide these files so that you never see them, but they will still be visible when viewed in File Explorer Mode on your FlashTrax. Most of these files can be deleted without causing any harm, but you may want to check the documentation for your OS to be sure.

Common Hidden Files or Folders	Operating System
Recycled	Windows
Thumbs.db	Windows
.DS_STORE	Mac OS X
.Trashes	Mac OS X
._FileName.Extension	Mac OS X
Trash	Mac OS Classic
Desktop DB, Desktop DF	Mac OS Classic

This is not a full list of all the temporary files your operating system may generate.

Photo Viewer: Advanced Features

Advanced Zooming and Panning

In addition to the zooming, panning and rotating functions explained in the tutorial, your FlashTrax can be set to zoom on a specific segment of an image. To access this capability, push the Fn button while viewing an image. You can zoom in on the portion highlighted in red by pushing ENTER, or select a different segment by using the Up, Down, Left, and Right buttons. Pushing Fn again allows you to select among several different segment sizes. Push Esc to cancel the zoom and return to viewing the image. The ability to zoom on a particular segment is especially useful for field-checking an entire image rapidly.
