Troi Automatisering releases Troi File Plug-in 3.0.5 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, February 15th, 2005–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 3.0.5?
This release has these changes:
– Improved the TrFile_Launch function, for files residing on a
network disk, with higher ASCII’s in the folder names.
– (Mac OS X) Improved TrFile_SetAttribute and TrFile_GetAttribute:
Finder comments (from the Get Info window) are now properly set and
retrieved. This also works under Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) as Spotlight
comments.
– Fixed a bug in TrFile_MetaData, which could crash on certain JPEG images.
– (Mac OS X) TrFile_CreateFile can now create files with no Creator
or no FileType.
– (Mac OS X) Fixed a bug in TrFile_DeleteFolder where in some cases
no dialog would be shown.
– Cleaned up code in several places and prepared for universal binary.
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
