Troi Automatisering releases Troi ClipSave Plug-in 1.1 for FileMaker Pro 5.5

New plug-in lets you save and restore the clipboard.

Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, June 25th, 2002--Troi Automatisering today announced the availability of its Troi ClipSave Plug-in 1.1, for FileMaker Pro 5 through 5.5.

What is Troi ClipSave Plug-in?

The ClipSave Plug-in can save and restore the clipboard in 2 simple steps. ClipSave is mainly intended for developers of FileMaker databases wanting to use ScriptMaker steps that change the clipboard, like for example the "Copy All Records step". ClipSave makes it possible to use those steps without the end user knowing the clipboard was temporarily changed.

Peter Baanen, company president, states that "This is the eleventh plug-in compatible with Mac OS X, and with this last plug-in we have completed our porting to Mac OS X. Except for the Sesame Plug-in, all our plug-ins are now available for every platform FileMaker Pro runs on!".

Features

  • Saves and restores the complete clipboard (including multiple items on the clipboard)
  • Easy to implement
  • Cross platform (Mac OS, Mac OS X and Windows95/98/Me and Windows NT/2000/XP)
  • Low pricing!

New Features

Troi ClipSave Plug-in 1.1 adds these new functions and features:

  • Tested with FileMaker 5.5 and made compatible for Mac OS X. The Mac OS version of the plug-in is now a so called 'Super Fat' plug-in that will run on Mac OS 8, 9 and Mac OS X.
  • Improved Version function, which can show the Flash Dialog and can return a version build number.
  • New user guide and examples in FileMaker 5.x format.

With this plug-in you can use all those clipboard spoiling functions without messing up the user experience. We invite you to test drive the new functions and see what you can do with it!

Suggested use

The FileMaker Scripting language has some very useful steps for developers that change the clipboard. The ClipSave Plug-in can help with the following ScriptMaker steps:

  • Copy Record
  • Copy All Records
  • Copy (of a Page in Preview mode)
  • Copy (of a field, with font and style preserved)
  • External function steps from plug-ins that use the clipboard (see for example our Grabber Plug-in)

Pricing & Availability

A fully functional try-before-you-buy version of Troi ClipSave Plug-in 1.1 is available for downloading at Troi's web site at:

Troi ClipSave Plug-in 1.1 works with FileMaker Pro 5 and later. The plug-in is available for Mac OS 9.0.4 or later, including Mac OS X (10.1 or higher), and for Windows 95/98/Me and NT/2000/XP. The plug-in should also run without problems on any machine that is able to run FileMaker Pro 4.0, FileMaker Pro 4.1 and runtimes from FileMaker Developer Edition 4.0.

About the Sesame Plug-in and Mac OS X

We have now ported all of our plug-ins to Mac OS X, except Troi Sesame Plug-in. We regrettably have found no way to create the same functionality of the Sesame Plug-in on Mac OS X. We also no longer expect to be able to do this. The Sesame Plug-in will continue to be available for Mac OS 8.x and Mac OS 9.x. More information can be found on our web site.
