Great new features

Troi Dialog Plug-in 5.1 is a maintance release. It is compatible with FileMaker 10. But luckily for you the function calls stay completely the same, so you don't have to rewrite any scripts!
The 5.1 version fixes some bugs and adds these main features:

• Tested with FileMaker Pro 10, and tweaked little issues to make it more compatible with FileMaker Pro 10. Also updated the example files and documentation for FileMaker 10.
• Added the plug-in's version number to the description in FileMaker preference pane.
• Fixed a bug in the Dial_PresentImage function where error text would be displayed in a very small window.
• Added new Dial_VersionAutoUpdate function. The Dial_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.

Troi Dialog Plug-in version 5.0 added these features:

• An improved InputDialog function: you can now use up to 15 input items!
• A new PresentImage function, which can show a full screen slideshow of images ànd movies.
• A new high precision Dial_GetCurrentTimestamp function, which returns the current date and time, including the fractions of a second.
• Added compatibility with Windows Vista.
• Improved compatibility with Leopard.
• Several bugs and smaller issues are fixed.

On the version history page you can find the complete list of changes of this and previous versions.
