DESCRIPTION
Troi File Plug-in is a very powerful tool for getting access to information outside the FileMaker Pro database. Any files stored on the rest of the computer can be accessed through the functions of the plug-in. It is compatible with FileMaker Pro 7 and 8.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 4.6:

New features

  • Made compatible with FileMaker Pro 10.
  • Added new TrFile_VersionAutoUpdate function. The TrFile_VersionAutoUpdate function is part of an emerging standard for FileMaker plug-ins of third party vendors of plug-ins. The version number is returned in the format aabbccdd where every letter represents a digit of the level, so versions can be easily compared.
  • Added the plug-in's version number to the description in FileMaker's preference pane.
  • Troi File plug-in is now compatible to run under FileMaker Server! The plug-in now creates log files when running under FileMaker Server to make troubleshooting installing easier and and provides feedback regarding errors and registration status.
    Note that some functions which can't run under FileMaker Server or under the Web Engine: they will now return an error code: $$-4251 = kErrNotAvailableOnServer. This entails the functions which use GUI, like for example show a dialog. Also Note that you need a special Server/WebEngine license to use this plug-in on FileMaker Server. See our web site for details.
Bug fixes
  • Fixed a bug in the TrFile_MountDisk function: when using "afp://" style addresses it will no longer show a superfluous user and password dialog.
  • Fixed a bug in the TrFile_MetaData function and the switch "-GetEXIF": if the Exif data block was too big it would not be retrieved.
  • Fixed a bug in the TrFile_DiskInfo function when using switches "-GetFreeMegs" or "-GetTotalMegs".
  • Fixed a bug in the TrFile_CreateThumbnail function using the switch "-AntiAliasThumbnail": no longer will some thumbnail sizes result in a white band at the right.
  • Improved the handling of Unicode paths in the TrFile_GetFileAttribute and TrFile_SetFileAttribute functions.
  • Fixed a bug in the handling of re-registration: No longer is an incorrect Expired dialog shown.
  • Fixed a bug in TrFile_Substitute (and TrFile_ConvertFromFMText): when using text which contains lots of Unicode characters that require more than two UTF-8 characters, this is now handled better.
  • Fixed a bug in TrFile_SetContents and TrFile_AppendContents: when writing text which contains lots of Unicode characters that require more than two UTF-8 characters, the text is now written out completely.
  • (Windows) Fixed a bug with Drag and Drop functionality using a FileMaker file that is hosted on a FileMaker server: drag and drop now works more reliable.
  • Improved Drag and Drop functionality: triggering is now only occurring during IdleSafe, eliminating possible crashes.
Graphic improvements
  • Tested with FileMaker Pro 10 and tweaked several little (graphic) issues.
  • Changed the Open File script in all example files to resize better for FileMaker Pro 10.
  • Adapted example file DragAndDrop.fp7, to take into account that the status area in FileMaker Pro 10 is no longer at the left. This caused the custom drag and drop rectangle to be drawn at the wrong location.
Improved example files and documentation
  • Improved the example files DragAndDrop.fp7 and ManageMedia.fp7 to better handle network paths.
  • Improved Drag and Drop example for PDFs on Windows, PDFs are now inserted as media type file.
  • Removed unnecessary file references in ManageMedia.fp7 and Import1Image.fp7
  • Improved the MoveFolder.fp7 example.
  • Added the switch "-GetXMP" to the documentation of the TrFile_Metadata function.
REQUIREMENTS
FileMaker Pro 8 or later.
