Troi Automatisering releases Troi File Plug-in 8.0 for FileMaker Pro 14

Updated file management plug-in for FileMaker Pro 14 adds zipping of files and folders

Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, May 12th, 2015--Troi Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of Troi File Plug-in 8.0 for FileMaker Pro 14.

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 8.0?

Troi File Plug-in 8.0 has been made compatible with FileMaker 14:

• Added support for 64-bit architecture with FileMaker Pro 14
• Improved the example file EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12, to support the 64-bit version of FileMaker Pro 14
• Functions which require user interface now support the 64-bit version of FileMaker Pro 14: TrFile_SelectFileDialog, TrFile_SelectFolderDialog and TrFile_SaveFileDialog

Troi File Plug-in 8.0 has the following new functionality:

• Added new function TrFile_CreateZIP, which can create ZIP files (a compressed archive). You can zip a single file or a complete folder.
• Added new CreateZIP example file which demonstrates this functionality.
• Added switch "-AllowMultipleFiles" to the TrFile_SelectFileDialog function, which allows the user to select multiple files in the dialog.
• (OS X) Added a new implementation for the function TrFile_Search: you can now search for files and folders using Spotlight.
• (OS X) You can now filter on extensions (like .txt) when using the TrFile_SelectFileDialog. For this the function TrFile_SetDefaultType now accepts multiple lines, to specify the extensions to enable. The formatting of this is now the same as on Windows.
• Added a switch "-SHA1" to the TrFile_GetFileHash function, which can return the SHA-1 hash value (checksum) of a file.

In addition to this, version 8.0 has several bug fixes and further improvements. We also made various minor changes to several example files.
