- Office (requires installed “Office to go”): DOC|XLS|PPT
- Other: TXT|HTML
- Opening custom registered files:
- BBFileScout allows you to associate own file extensions with custom applications (like you might know it from other OS)
- Simply enter the extension [without '.' (dot)] in the BBFileScout-Options
- Once such an associations is configured (via BBFileScout options) you could open any file type with any application that you have registered****
- Opening Files in a SimpleTextViewer:
- You can open small files (smaller then 250KiB) in plain text mode – This enables you to open XML’s, INI’s or any kind of script files (or any other files) in your BlackBerry
- Once the file is opened, you can mark/select text and copy it into the clipboard (to use it where ever you like or need it)
- Opening Files in a SimpleTextEditor:
- 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).
- by default all files will be open with UTF-8 character encoding
- Re-read file with different encodings:
- Re-read file with ‘UTF-8′ encoding
- Re-read file with ‘ISO-8859-1′ encoding
- Re-read file with ‘UTF-16BE’ encoding
- Re-read file with ‘US-ASCII’ encoding
- Save File
- Save File as…
- both ’save’ functions will use UTF-8 encoding

- Confirm Exit of BBFileScout
- Confirm Delete of files & directories
- Show hidden files & directories
- Sort directory content [will separate directories and files from each other and sort them by name (case insensitive)]
- Allow editing in SimpleTextViewer
- Custom file associations
- Key short cuts:
