24U SimpleCode Plug-In 2.0 released

Tuesday, December 27, 2005 - 24U Software releases 24U SimpleCode Plug-In 2.0. The plug-in is designed to correct badly imported characters from FileMaker 6 Pro and to call old-style external functions with custom encodings.


What is 24U SimpleCode Plug-In?

24U SimpleCode Plug-In addresses two main text encoding issues for solutions migrated from FileMaker 6 to FileMaker 7 and 8. It fixes text that was previously incorrectly converted to Unicode, and also lets you use old-style FileMaker 6 compatible plug-ins with non-English languages.

With 24U SimpleCode Plug-In, text encoding issues are no longer an excuse for not upgrading to FileMaker 7 or 8.

Main features:

   - Reinterpret Unicode of incorrectly translated one-byte encoding
   - Bring foreign languages support back to old-style plug-ins

Sample usage #1:
During conversion from FileMaker 6 to FileMaker 7, some text in a field was incorrectly converted to Unicode. This plug-in can fix this problem by undoing the conversion and then re-doing correctly.

Sample usage #2:
An old-style plug-in's function, such as External("24uD-ShowDialog", parameter) does not work properly with foreign languages, because some characters get lost. Instead of waiting for a new, FileMaker 7 native version of the plug-in, you can now use
SCode_External("24uD-ShowDialog"; parameter; encoding) as a wrapper that converts your text to the correct encoding before invoking the plug-in.
