thanks for the continuous updates.

Can we get these:

1. option to add folders as "favorites" for quicker retrieval
2. option to auto open pdf files

thanks

[emacf1]

strange! - I had replied to your two questions - but looks like my response is gone?!

in any case...

to 1)
I thought about this quite a long time ago - now I realized, that this is more or less the "only" feature that is missing compared to commercial products - I do not want to leave the impression, that I am stealing ideas... so we will see, if favourites makes it into BBFileScout [looks like, that I have missed the right moment]

to 2)
this should already work with 'Repligo Reader' or 'PDF to go' as long as you do not have specified a manual file association.

[fkjr2]

oops - my mistake on 2. correct it does work.

yes favs would be great because now we have to "dig" into the files to get commonly used folders - we could save time by adding fav folders to opening screen

• Auto rename/overwrite if a file already exist at the destination [of copy & move], this behavior is configurable via options

...

Please consider adding "Prompt" as an option. Thanks!

you mean - each time the same file exist at the destination, then there should be a prompt and the user will be asked, what should happen (nothing, overwrite, rename) - did I understand you correctly ?

Prompt with rename is good too. Suppose I wanted a copy I can just copy and paste in same place, and change name by prompt.

It would be nice to add this:
Prompt for rename ( ask confirm on overwrite if still same name )

It's like other two combined to give user option on action. Keep other two options though for people who prefer those though.

Open file: No errors that crashes program found, even opened as text. Nice! :D Error message is overly vague: "RE:ReadContent 'read' caused: null"

Move file: Dialog: net.rim.device.api.system.ControlledAccessExecptio n. It still creates empty file with same name.

Copy file: Same error and new file thing as before. Didn't crash or anything but new file is there.

Rename file: Dialog: File System Error. I click OK. It resumes just fine. Another vague error that doesn't explain anything though.

zip file: It shows same error, then creates an empty zip file.

Email file: Same error as move/copy, then email appears with empty file attached to it.

It really should cancel operation when error happens, and leave no empty file or start an email with empty file attachment.

There is now no way to crash application so far, so it certainly have matured a lot. Generally, you need to polish error messages and cleanup after errors, that's about it.

I have one observation about the this app which I have seen in all the versions having the 'Add association' feature. If 'Add associations' is highlighted then if the user presses the "Escape' button then nothing happens. However, the moment the cursor is removed from the button and then the escape button is pressed, the user is presented with the option of "Save/Discard/Cancel".

I am not sure whether this is true for just my device or it is happening for all devices. I am not saying it is a bug or anything of that sort.. it is just my observation.

I fully agree with you - there ERROR Handling have to be improved (and there should be a clean-up) - but I hope that everybody can live with that for the moment and that new features are more appreciated right now [but for sure this have to be done in the future]...

Great umplementation -- I had envisioned the rename for existing file to prompt for a new filename, but the auto-rename is even better. I found a small glitch (related to error handling) though -- if you attempt to overwrite the file on the stack, the file is deleted. This is not a normal case, but the app shouldn't delete a user's file inadvertently.

PS: Please be so kind and really send me a donation if you are going to use the application - don't think that the others will do so (of course this does not applies to the 18 gentlemen who where so generous to send me a donation so far)

Nice addition! As I was using the [SPACE] key to select items for a playlist, I thought that there might be an easier way to select multiple files:

1. Might you consider automatically advancing to the next item in the list after selecting or deselecting?
2. Might you be able to implement [ALT] plus scrolling to select or deselect a contiguous set of files?
3. Or possibly both?

it might be [SHIFT] at the end of the day - but both sounds really reasonable

I Agree With Viso

Awesome additions!

1. Consolidated change log is perfect!
2. The multi-file select is awesome, but there appears to be a bug in the [SHIFT]+scroll implementation. If you scroll down a list (even 5-10 files), occasionally one or more files is not toggled as you scroll by...
3. Please consider adding a keyboard shortcut to bring up the favorites popup.
4. I like your humor in the font size selection, but it should read "I am an old man".
