Troi Automatisering releases Troi File Plug-in 2.6.1 for FileMaker Pro 6

Updated plug-in lets you manipulate your files and folders and use file and folder information directly from your FileMaker Pro databases.

Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, March 10th, 2003--Troi Automatisering today announced the availability of its Troi File Plug-in 2.6.1, for FileMaker Pro 5.x through 6.

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 you can:

  • get data from files that are on the disk of the computer into FileMaker Pro
  • (batch) import pictures, sounds etc. and optionally store only a reference to them in 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
  • query detailed information of files: the size on disk, creation and modification dates and much more
  • launch files with their appropriate application directly from FileMaker Pro

New Features

Troi File Plug-in 2.6.1 has these improvements:

  • Added support on Mac OS X for mounting disks on WebDav servers (requires Mac OS X 10.2).
  • Added support on Mac OS X for long file names, up to 255 characters, in full paths and FSSpecs. For example in the TrFile-CopyFile and TrFile-MoveFile function you can now move and copy with file names longer than 31 characters.
  • Fixed a problem with slashes in path names or disk names on Mac OS X and a problem with getting the FSSpec of a disk name on Mac OS 9.x.
  • Improved TrFile-ReferenceToClip function for JPEG files. The image bounds are now determined, even if QuickTime is not installed.
  • Improved retrieving of IPTC data and EXIF data from image files.
  • Removed the 68k code from the plug-in. This plug-in can no longer run on Mac 68k machines.

Suggested Uses

  • Batch import of images, movies, sounds, text files, etc.
  • Keep your database small, by storing only references to images
  • Creating a web site by exporting multiple HTML files
  • Updating solutions, by moving database files into place
  • Reading and writing custom formatted files, for example from legacy systems
  • Cataloging complete projects, including pictures
