File Manager Pro is the new file and Zip archive manager for your BlackBerry device. With File Manager Pro, you can manage your files easily and quickly using its powerful new features. In addition, File Manager Pro allows you to open, create, extract and append to Zip archives that are today’s de facto standard for distributing compressed files.

Work with the contents of Zip archives received via email.

With OS 4.5, your BlackBerry smartphone is pre-installed Docs-To-Go and the ability to download email attachments. Often these attachments contain PDF and Office documents that are compressed in a Zip archive. With File Manager Pro you can easily extract these documents for use with applications that natively handle Office and PDF files.

Send documents as email from your BlackBerry.

The BlackBerry has a limitation on the size of attachments that can be sent from your device. Many Office and PDF documents exceed this limitation — either as a single or multiple files — preventing you from emailing them from your BlackBerry. Now you can easily compress one or more documents into a single Zip archive and Send as Email, all from within File Manager Pro.

Manage all your files and folders.

With large capacity Media cards you have the ability to carry thousands of documents on your BlackBerry. However, with so many files and folders it can be difficult to manage. In addition, it’s critical that mobile applications be fast and responsive, but until now opening and browsing folders with lots of files was painfully slow, virtually freezing your BlackBerry. With the advanced features and performance optimizations of File Manager Pro, managing your files is fast and simple.

Here are some key features of “File Manager Pro”:

All standard file operations:
· Copy, Move, Rename, Delete, New Folder and Send as Email. In addition, recursive Copy, Move and Delete operations are supported.

Manage your Zip archives:
· Open and browse Zip archives the same as you would folders. Extract all of the contents, or select and extract just a subset. Create new archives or add to existing ones.

Select multiple files and folders simultaneously:
· Select multiple files and folders at the same time. Do any file operation on the selected items, including compressing them into a Zip archive or sending as email.

Search for files and folders:
· Search for files in a single folder or across multiple folders, even recursively. Specify whether to search on whole words only or to use case sensitivity. Select files in the search results and perform any file operation. And File Manager Pro is blazingly fast, searching 1000’s of files in seconds.

Sort and view files your way:
· Sort files by Name, Size, Type or Date, in either Ascending or Descending order. Specify the display of file information, and control the viewing of hidden files.

Fast access with the Favorites list:
· Avoid tedious folder navigation by using the Favorites list to quickly access frequently used files or deeply nested folders. Jump directly to your destination with a single click.

Modify file attributes:
· View file and folder properties, and assign the Read-Only and Hidden attributes.

Launch files in Documents to Go:
· Click on a Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or any file with a native format program, and File Manager Pro will open it automatically in its application. Click on any media file — audio, video or image — and have it launched in your media application.

Intuitive user interface:
· File Manager Pro conforms to the BlackBerry user interface guidelines, so that it works just like all of your built-in BlackBerry applications. There’s no learning curve, and from the moment you open the application you’ll be productive. No non-standard or unfriendly user interface to frustrate you.

Integrated Text Viewer:
· Built-in text file viewer that includes a Find feature for text searches.

Unsurpassed performance:
· Fully designed to give uncompromising performance. Fast file and folder navigation while still providing quick application load time. Open and browse folders containing 1000’s of files with virtually no performance penalty. File Manager Pro is the fastest way to browse and work with your files — even faster than the built-in Media application!
