FileScout Core Features:

• FileScout is a file system browser for your BlackBerry® (including hidden files)
• Create directories, copy, move, rename, or delete files
• Zip and Unzip files or complete directory structures with your BlackBerry® (no support for password protected zips)
• Copy and delete complete directory structures
• Open all media files (supported by your BlackBerry®)
• 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®
• Delete pre-installed wallpapers, videos, and ringtones in order to free memory on your device***
  Please note: once these features are deleted, the only way to get them back is to hard reset your device!
• Display thumbnails for supported image files (if enabled in the options)
• Search for files and directories on your BlackBerry® device
• Send any file as an email attachment to your BlackBerry® contacts
• Send any file via Bluetooth to another device that support OBEX
• Define a favorite directory list (as shortcuts)
• 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)
• More to come? - is there really something you miss for a file manager application? If so, let me know!

Please Note: Some files on BlackBerry® devices have some type of DRM (Digital Rights Management). As a result, these files cannot be copied or moved. FileScout will give you a warning once you try to copy a file that has 'encrypted content'. FileScout will mark these files with a "caution" symbol. Additionally, in some cases, it will not be possible to delete this content.

Additional Notes

• Even if I own a Storm myself there is no extra TouchScreen support (yet) - this means it will work on a Strom like on any other BlackBerry® device.
• Some parts/files in the '/system' and '/store' folders might reappear after a battery pull - The device seams to auto restore some of the files.

*	Deleting or renaming files from your BlackBerry® can harm the core functionality of the device - use this function at your own risk!
**	Not all media types might be supported by your device
***	Some files on a BlackBerry® device are marked as "BuildIn" - unfortunately most of the time it's not possible for FileScout to delete this type of files.
****	The 3'rd party application itself have to support to be started with an file as additional command line parameter (this is quite usual in other OS's but I do not know much about 3'rd party BlackBerry® applications right now)
*****	Once you choose to send a file via Bluetooth, FileScout is opening a list of available Bluetooth devices that are in range (and that support OBEX-Object-Push) - The initial list will be empty and once a device will be detected the entry will be shown in the list. This Bluetooth device search could take some seconds - please be patient!
