Troi Dialog Plug-in 5.5.7

FileMaker Pro 11 ànd 12 compatible

January 14th, 2013 Today we released Troi Dialog Plug-in 5.5.7, which further improves compatibility with FileMaker Pro 12. We have supplied example files in the new .fmp12 file format. It also adds the example file EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12, which demonstrates how to automatically install the plug-in directly from a container field.

See also the FileMaker Pro 12 compatibility page with information regarding compatibility of all our plug-ins with FileMaker 12.

Troi Dialog Plug-in 5.5.7 runs natively with FileMaker Pro 12 and FileMaker Pro Advanced 12, but also with FileMaker Pro 10 and FileMaker Pro 11. The Mac OS X version is a Universal plug-in which runs natively on PowerPC and Intel Macs.

New version 5.5.7

Troi Dialog Plug-in 5.5.7 is the new version of our flexible dialog showing plug-in. Version 5.5.7 is a maintenance release, which adds compatibility with Windows 8, fixes some issues on Mac OS X and adds the possibility to get the path where the plug-in was installed.

Troi Dialog version 5.5.x is compatible with FileMaker Pro 11 and 12. But luckily for you the function calls stay completely the same, so you don't have to rewrite any scripts!
The 5.5 version added these other main features:

• Support for PNG image format, including support for transparency in the custom icon. Now also bigger sized icons!
• (Mac OS X) Implemented to Cocoa version of Progress dialog.
• (Mac OS X) Implemented to Cocoa version of InputDialog dialog.
