Troi Automatisering releases Troi File Plug-in 5.0.1 for FileMaker Pro 11

Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, September 29th, 2010--Troi Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of Troi File Plug-in 5.0.1 for FileMaker Pro 11.

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 and write IPTC and Exif metadata to JPEG images

What is new in version 5.0.1?

Troi File Plug-in 5.0.1 is a maintenance update of our file manipulation plug-in. This update includes these bug fixes and improvements:

• (Mac OS X) Fixed a problem with FileMaker Pro 11.0v2 and drag and drop.
• Fixed a rotation problem in the TrFile_CreateThumbnail function for RAW files.
• Improved the TrFile_CreateThumbnail function, so that it now returns a native binary type.
• Improved the Thumbnail.fp7 example file to better demonstrate the use of the "-AntiAliasThumbnail" switch.
• (Windows) Fixed a bug with TrFile_ExecuteShell always returning a timeout error.
• (Windows) Improved handling of the switch "-Encoding=ISO_8859_15" in several functions.
• Improved the example file ManageMedia.fp7: added scripts to get, set and update container field with FMP styled paths.

More detailed information on all of the changes and improvements implemented in Troi File Plug-in 5.0.1 can be found at: <http://www.troi.com/software/filehistory.html>.

All features and functions also work in a runtime solution. The plug-in adds 62 functions to FileMaker Pro, giving you limitless possibilities in managing your system outside of the database. We invite you to test drive the new functions and see what you can do with it!
