Does anyone know the main differences between the Files app that came with OS 5 and FileScout? I'm on a Storm (1st gen) if that makes a difference.

File App in OS 5.0 is an enhanced version of the file manager that was "well hidden" in the previous OS4.x version, where it could be found in the Media App ('Explore' MenuItem)... If you don't miss any core functionality in the OS5.x File App then I assume FileScout will be not interesting for you.

I missed to enable the new "CR/CRLF option" in v1.4.0.0 - so that's why we see new 1.4.1.0

Still does not work on the Storm 2 as far as letting you select "system" to remove items....

Please note, that RIM have decided to restrict (block) the access to the system folder (and all subdirs) in OS5.x for any 3'rd part application. This have been explained in the change log above - so if you would like to complain then please be so kind and do it in the appropriate direction.

So basically useless for newer OS's...what a waste

If you don't miss functions like:
- Zip and Unzip files or complete directory structures with your BlackBerry® (no support for password protected zips)

- Copy and delete complete directory structures

- Register additional file types with other (3rd party) applications (if supported)

- Open files (like ini, xml, etc.) as plain text so you can edit, mark, copy, and paste text fragments of files that normally can't be opened with your BlackBerry®. This can become very valuable when you receive email attachments that are not normally supported by your BlackBerry®

- Define a favorite directory list (as shortcuts)

- Quick change of active directory (tree browser)

- Show details for files & directories [modification date, is hidden, etc...]

- Resize (& rotate) images in order to save time and money when sending photos to your friends via your BlackBerry®

- Create playlists (across multiple folders)

then the build in File App will be fine for you ;-)

I just wanted to let you all know that this is a great program with great customer support. I had issues updating to the new version and sent an email and had a response with in 10 minutes of my email. If you get this program, support the developer by buying the software. Its a great program and doesn't cast much.

Thanks again Matthias for the support!

Why does it say it's donationware, and then I download it and it says 14-day trial, after which I have to pay for it?

 
 
Posted by emacf1 Wednesday, Nov 04, 2009 830 days ago

FileScout is offered in two ways:
b) Donationware Version
a) AppWorld Version (as try & buy) [simply cause there is no Donationware in AppWorld]

When you go to http://www.emacberry.com/ota/BBFileScout.jad you will see, that there these two Options are listed and as a user you have the choice.

I tried FileScout - it all looked great and everything worked well and I was close to purchasing until I discovered it failed to associate the MindBerry (.mm) file extension with the MindBerry software. Clealry not supported. Which is a shame.
