use the Search function - and type '*media*' - I think it was something like medialoader.ml ?!

[Iare Tosevite]

It's hidden file. I found it and tried to open it, it returned a error message but didn't crash this time.

I was testing view hidden files/folder option, I notice that view doesn't get updated when that option is changed, but once I changed directories it worked.

Can you add option to turn on or off on creation of play-list feature? It should default to on, however. I will never use the play-list feature myself.

Thanks.

again it must by my bad English - but I have difficulties to understand, what you mean - as long as you do not have a "playlist directory" defined in the options, the complete functionality in BBFileScout should be disabled... [at least that was the "plan"]

BBFileScout update to 0.6.8.1 *hotfix*

What's fixed?
* Fixed NullPointerException when moving files
* File listing gets reloaded automatically when you toggle the option "show hidden files"

Installation & Update
You will find the download link (incl. OTA) at the BBFileScout Homepage

Actually I just can recommend to all, that when you open a JAD via the browser (that you has installed previously) then you should always choose "refresh/reload" from the #Menu before you actually hit the install button.

Please note, that updating BBFileScout on OS 5.x might require an deinstallation of BBFileScout before you are able to install the new version of BBFileScout.

Once again: Deleting or renaming os relevant files from your Blackberry can harm the core functionality of the device - use this function at your own risk! - Don't blame me, if you have bricked your BB.

PS: 100% free 100% offline GPSLogger is back online...

Oh I just want ability to turn off all features relating to playlist.

At same time it's really on way either, so maybe not bother with this feature.

finally it made 'click' here - once you have defined a playlist directory in the BBFileScout options, there is NO WAY to get rid of this settings... Expect in the next release of BBFileScout that you are able to remove this value in the options - and with that all playlist MenuItems will disappear...

Thanks for fixing this ... I noticed this a day or two ago, but wasn't sure how to reproduce it specifically (plus I wasn't sure if there was any risk to the files).

[jbeek]

By the way, maybe I missed it but I was wondering ... are there shortcuts to move around inside a file when in the text editor (for example, go to top or bottom of file, or go forward or backward one screen's worth)?

:-D No you did not miss anything - the Editor haven't been touched since the first versions - so there haven't been happen a lot in the last 2 month - so do you have any preferred short cut key?

I'm not really sure how your might best implement this without disabling user's ability to enter certain characters within the text file unless, of course, you add a read only mode (enable from the menu). My suggestion is that you add an Option to specify whether files open by default as read only or editable -- a menu item in the Editor could toggle this mode for an open file.

Standard RIM shortcuts for the navigation functions requested could be implemented while in read only mode as follows:

• <SPACE>: move down one screen;
• <SHIFT>+<SPACE>: move up one screen;
• B: bottom of file; and
• T: top of file.

I like this suggestion for toggling between edit and read modes, as well as the shortcuts for read mode.

As to adding something for scrolling in editing mode, I don't know either how to implement shortcuts directly via keystrokes without adversely affecting how one enters text. However, an alternative solution might be to add menu entries in edit mode to scroll forward/backward by a screen and another to scroll to the top/bottom of the file. Not elegant, but effective

[emacf1]

just a small note here - you "can" switch between view & edit mode for the TextEditor/Viewer in BBFileScout (that can be done in the Options)

Checkbox 'Allow editing in SimpleTextViewer'
Allow editing in SimpleTextViewer (default OFF) Once it's enabled in the options you can edit the text files that you have opened in the SimpleTextEditor. But BBFileScout is still far away from becoming a fully functional text editor (that might change in further releases).

But of course I understand, that you want to switch between edit/view directly in the Edit/View Screen...

Concerning the Key-Shortcuts - "Bingo!" you hit the nail on it's head... (concerning that the user like to enter text) but actually there might be key-modifiers (right now I have ALT in my mind) that could be used in order to trigger the navigation...

Matthias

Interesting...how are you thinking of getting around the use of ALT to type what's on the "upper" part of the keys (numbers and symbols like ?, !, @, #, etc)?

Joachim

[Iare Tosevite]

Can you use the other buttons such as trackball click, phone hangup, etc?

I would use volume down for page down, up for page up.

Phone up and hang up could be start of text and end, respectively.

Very good...hadn't thought of using those.

[emacf1]

I'll have to check, if the phone hangup button etc can be used... I am not sure if the users will be that happy, editing a text and once the BlackBerry bugs us with a call we can't really pick up the phone... But I am confident that there will be a solution - might be not already in the next release - but for sure I made a note on my todo list.
