* UPDATE Matthias has updated BBFileScout to version 1.1.0.1

Since I received user feedback that there is additionally the need for a user defined resolution setting in the new “Image Resize” function, I just have integrated this feature into BBFileScout. In the new ‘Image Option’ section you have an additional entry in the ‘target resolution’ called ‘user defined’.

If you downloaded version 1.1 please redownload BBFileScout below. *

Matthias let me know that he has updated his BBFileScout BlackBerry application from version 1.0 to version 1.1.

New functions include the ability to resize images to a user selected resolution ranging from 1200px, 1024px, 800px, 640px and the device’s resolution. There is also an option to show favorites at startup and URLs in the BBFileScout “About” screen will now bring you to the site.

BBFileScout is offered “free” as Donationware, which means the version available for download is fully functional with no limitations but the developer is asking for donations to help upkeep the development of the application. BBFileScout is available for all BlackBerrys on OS 4.3 and higher.

CrackBerry Kevin found out about a cool, new application called File Manager Pro by Terra Mobility.

Terra Mobility is getting ready to officially release  this application, but right now they have a free beta which is available for download. Be sure to let them know of any bugs you may find.

Terra Mobility is pleased to announce the Beta release of File Manager Pro.

File Manager Pro is the new file and Zip archive manager for your BlackBerry. It supports advanced features such as selecting multiple files, sorting by name, size, date or type, and a Favorites list for fast access to frequently visited folders.

With File Manager Pro you can:

• Extract Office and PDF documents from zip attachments and open them with Docs-To-Go and on-device PDF readers. Many of the documents sent as email attachments are embedded within a zip archive, making them inaccessible to on-device native format applications. With File Manager Pro you can easily extract these files, enabling you to edit and view them with Docs-To-Go and on-device PDF readers.
• Compress documents and send them as attachments from your BlackBerry. Avoid the size limitation on sending attachments by compressing your files before emailing. And if you’re on a metered data plan, this is a must have in order to save precious KBs.
• Easily manage all your files and folders on your device. Select and apply file operations on multiple files and folders simultaneously, or apply file operations recursively within a folder hierarchy. Sort your files by size to find the ones consuming excessive space, or sort by date to find files received on some specific date. And use the Favorites list to navigate across multiple folder levels with just a single click.
