Third-party Press Release
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.
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
