New Universal and cross platform plug-in runs natively in FileMaker Pro 8.5 and lets you manipulate your files and folders directly from your databases.

February 5th, 2007, Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands--Troi Automatisering today announced the availability of Troi File Plug-in 3.6 for FileMaker Pro 8.5.

Troi File Plug-in 3.6 runs natively with FileMaker Pro 8.5 and FileMaker Advanced 8.5, but also with FileMaker Pro 7 and FileMaker Pro 8.

Maintenance release

Version 3.6 is a maintenance release, which fixes a few bugs.

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
  • read and write IPTC metadata to JPEG images!

What is changed

The improvements in version 3.6 are:

  • (Windows) fixed a bug where, with both QuickTime and the Troi File Plug-in installed, copying or pasting could lead to a freeze.
  • (Mac OS X) Fixed a bug with filtering in TrFile_SelectFileDialog.
  • Fixed a problem with the TrFile_MetaData crashing with some images containing specific undefined EXIF data tags.
  • Improved TrFile_SetMetaData: IPTC meta data can now also be added to JPEG files that did not yet have any previous IPTC or Photoshop data.
  • (Mac OS X) Fixed a bug where copying a file to a remote volume could erroneously return a disk full error ($$-34).

Suggested Uses

Troi File Plug-in allows you to:

  • Batch import any 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

All these features also work in a runtime solution. We invite you to test drive the new functions and see what you can do with it!
