[FMPro] [ANN] Troi File Plug-in 8.5 for FileMaker Pro 15
Troi Automatisering releases Troi File Plug-in 8.5 for FileMaker Pro 15
Updated file management plug-in for FileMaker Pro 15 adds unzipping and creating aliases.
Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands, May 10th, 2016--Troi Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of Troi File Plug-in 8.5 for FileMaker Pro 15.
What is Troi File Plug-in?
Troi File Plug-in is a very powerful tool for getting access to information outside the FileMaker Pro database. Any files or folders stored on the computer can be accessed through the functions of the plug-in. All from within FileMaker Pro you can:
- get data from files that are on the disk of the computer into FileMaker Pro
- create files anywhere on the hard disk and put data from FileMaker fields into them
- manipulate files and folders on the disk: this includes creating, deleting, copying, moving and modifying files and folders
- get the size on disk, creation and modification dates and much more
- launch and reveal files directly from FileMaker Pro
- manage your images and movies, and read IPTC and Exif metadata from JPEG, Raw and PNG images
What is new in version 8.5?
Troi File Plug-in 8.5 has been made compatible with FileMaker 15:
- Further improved the multi-threading behavior of the plug-in when running in FileMaker Pro 15.
- Added description and type-ahead information for all functions of the plug-in. This extra function description will be shown in FileMaker Pro 15 in the Specify Calculation dialog box when you type a function name and also as a text popup in the functions pane on the right. The type-ahead information is used by the auto complete functionality of FileMaker Pro 15.
Troi File Plug-in 8.5 has the following new functionality:
- Added new TrFile_ZIPInfo function, which lists the items (files and folders) inside a ZIP file.
- Added new TrFile_UnZIP function, which expands a ZIP file into a specified folder.
- Created the ZIPAndUnZIP.fmp12 example file.
- Added new TrFile_CreateAlias function, which creates an alias file (on OS X) or shortcut (on Windows) from the source file or source folder.
In addition to this, version 8.5 has several bug fixes and further improvements. We also made various minor changes to several example files and updated the User Guide.
