It has been frustrating for PhotoTainer users that InnoPlus has a policy of not responding to questions and problems posed on their online forum. Often, the problems are of such a technical nature that other users cannot answer them.
Fortunately, SmartDisk has stepped in. (They resell the PhotoTainer as the FlashTrax.) The SmartDisk Web site has a long list of FAQs (fequently asked questions) that will apply to the PhotoTainer.
Topics include:
- How do I view a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation on FlashTrax?
- How does the "Randomness" setting affect music play?
- How should I interpret the "Battery Life" percentages?
- My FlashTrax powers on to show only a blue screen.
You can read them at sdkbase.smartdisk.com.
Undocumented Feature
Reading the FAQ over at the SmartDisk site, I learned of a hidden function in the PhotoTainer: Hold down the ESC key for at least three seconds. PhotoTainer displays a screen for navigating through the entire folder hierarchy. Notice that the color scheme is different (yellow and gray).
- Use the right and left keys to expand and collapse folders.
- Use up and down to move through folder listings.
NOTE: It can take a few seconds for folders to expand, because PhotoTainer scans through all folders to build the list.
NOTE: This undocumented function displays only folder names and not file names. The menus are not available, so you can't do anything except view the names.
Press Esc to return to the normal view.
