Troi Automatisering releases Troi File Plug-in 3.0.7 for FileMaker Pro 8

Updated plug-in for FileMaker Pro 8, for Mac and Windows, lets you manipulate your files and folders directly from your databases.

Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, April 26th, 2006--Troi Automatisering today announced the availability of a new version of Troi File Plug-in for FileMaker Pro 8.

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
  • 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

What is new in version 3.0.7?

This release has these changes:

  • Added new example file RecursiveFolder.fp7. This powerful example lists all folders inside a folder and optionally performs an action on all the files in the folders.
  • Improved handling of EXIF data (of corrupt images) in the TrFile_MetaData function.
  • (Mac OS X) Improved handling of SMB network disks. Fixed problems in several functions: TrFile_CopyFile, TrFile_LaunchFile, TrFile_SelectFileDialog, and TrFile_SaveFileDialog.
  • (Windows) Improved the TrFile_SelectFileDialog and TrFile_SaveFileDialog functions to work better with longer file paths of up to 1000 characters.
  • (Mac OS X) Improved TrFile_SetFileAttribute, TrFile_GetFileCreator and TrFile_GetFileType: when a file has no Creator or FileType associated with it, the functions will now use the visible text: "0000", that is 4 zero characters (Unicode 30) instead of 4 invisible Unicode 0 characters.
  • Cleaned up code in several places and prepared for universal binary.
  • Plus several other minor fixes and improvements.

Suggested Uses

  • Batch import of any text file, anywhere
  • Let the user select a folder and process the contents of this folder
  • Create a web site by exporting multiple HTML files
  • Update solutions, by moving database files into place
  • Read and write custom formatted files, for example from legacy systems
  • Catalog complete projects, including pictures, and the meta data like EXIF and IPTC
