Ah, much, much better! I set the loading option to slow and 0.6.1 now starts up as fast as the pre-0.6 versions. Well done, thanks!

Matthias - I must say that your application has progressed into a very very useful app. I am thoroughly impressed with the functionality you have built into it.

Thanks for the positive feedback... so it really looks like, that some devices does not like multi threading... I am happy, that the solution could be so easy to implement... [I hope this work for others too]

BBFileScout update to 0.6.3

What's fixed?
* I made a very stupid mistake - I trusted a information that was no reliable xxx8211; and I did not spend enough time to verify this information. I deeply regret what have happened but I can not make this undone xxx8211; I hope tpdkdesign.net & everaldo.com can forgive me for this error - again my apologize.

As consequence all Icons (incl. the main app icon) had to be replaced (I am not confident, if the current symbols will be the final ones xxx8211; but at least the I bought them from fasticon.com)

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

BBFileScout update to 0.6.4

What's new?
* I am sorry that there is again another update within 24h - but the initial new icons, that I have bought where IMHO not optimal for the Blackberry® device - so I have worked the last 24h with high pressure on an update for the icons of BBFileScout and finally after spending the night with "pushing pixel around" I am more or less happy with the result.

I hope now the contrast for the icons is improved and if there is somebody around who would like to help me with further improvements please do not hesitate to get in contact with me.

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

BBFileScout news

What's new?
Even if a software developer is a lousy author for a manual I have started with some sort of user manual for BBFileScout - currently there are two first raw chapter versions:Matthias

While organizing the pictures on my Storm, I came across a couple situations where some added features could be beneficial. The first fairly simple, the other maybe not...

1. Let's say I'm moving 10 files from root directory the subdirectory A. 9 of the 10 files exist in the subdirectory, but I already know ahead of time that I want to replace all duplicates. When I encounter the first duplicate, I am prompted with a choice -- I think the default is "do nothing", or something similar. However, I know I want to replace it, so I select that option. Then I encounter the next instance, and I am once again prompted, with the same "do nothing" default option.

Suggestions: Remember my last choice. If I chose "replace", replace should be the new default option until I restart the app. Also, a checkbox that states "do this for all future items in this stack", or something (I actually like how Vista worded this option...I forget the exact text).

2. While organizing images, I had to keep switching back to the Media app to see which image was what, and trying to remember those filenames. Can any sort of a thumbnail view option be implemented? I'm not sure how easy it is to use what BB has in place for their thumbnail displays...

actually what you can already do is, to specify the default option... so you will not be prompted... -> details can be found in the new ManualPages of BBFileScout...

reading the BBthumbs.dat file will be quite hard job - since there is no documentation at all - but I assume you will be quite happy with the next version of BBFileScout

Thanks for the swift response, and again for your hard work on this masterpiece of yours. I'll definitely donate when another contract digs me out of the doldrums.

Regarding your suggestion, I wouldn't want replace as a static option, and I'm sure you could see why. And not choosing that leaves this issue as a nuisance when I'm moving and replacing 25 images, as I was doing on this occasion.

what I can do for sure is, to focus/select already the last choice... does this sounds like a compromise? [I am aware, that a checkbox: "do it for all" would be even more user friendly...]

It sure does! I'm also aware that I'm not entirely privy to the tasks required to implement my suggestions, so your idea will definitely suffice.

Thanks again!

So what I did now is: Option is configured to "ask each time"... then the dialog appears - then you make your first choice... then the next time the dialog appears the last selected choice is already selected and the 'OK'-Button is focused... so you simple then hit "enter" and you go to the next... -> I just tested it and it works great - really nice improvement

thanks - actually it's getting harder to find reasonable improvements...

There is still a "cleaning" task ahead (less technical error messages & cleanup work when something failed)... but except of that I personally do not "miss" much... [beside the already discussed remote file system support]

I like the updates! A couple questions...

The thumbnails display...they're very tiny. Is there a method in place to switch to a grid view that would display larger, more identifiable thumbnails?

Also, the folder icons, if the custom icons are chosen, is that a way to choose from a set of icons, as shown by those in the attached jpg a page or two ago in this thread?

Yes there is - adjust the font size of the app - this will have instance influence on the thumbnail size - I know that it might be not that what you wanted - but currently I found no other way, that the same code works correct on all supported devices.

The Icon selection is "just" changing the folder icons - the rest of the symbols (as shown e.g. on the manual pages) are in both cases identical.
