Four Troi Plug-ins updated for Claris FileMaker Pro 2025 and later Lienden, the Netherlands, March 23, 2026–Troi today announced the immediate availability of four updated plug-ins. These plug-ins add support for FileMaker Pro 22.0.5 and add initial compatibility with the upcoming new FileMaker version. Updated plug-ins Troi Activator Plug-in 10.1 Troi Encryptor Plug-in 8.0.1 Troi File Plug-in 17.2 Troi Serial Plug-in 9.1 Improved compatibility Added initial compatibility with upcoming new FileMaker version. Tested and made compatible with Claris FileMaker Pro 22.0.5. Improved code to prevent a possible crash: some objective-c classes which were implemented in multiple plug-ins had the same name. They now get a unique name. We added also several minor improvements and security enhancements to the plug-ins. For Troi File Plug-in 17.2 we also added this functionality: Enhanced Script Triggering functionality in Troi File Plug-in Added error handling when the plug-in has insufficient privilege for triggering scripts in a FileMaker file. The plug-in now shows an alert dialog if script triggering is not allowed in a (newly created) file. In this case you most likely need to enable the extended privilege Validate cross-file plug-in access (the ‘fmplugin’ extended privilege) in the fmp12 file. When running Troi File Plug-in on FileMaker Server the plug-in will not show a dialog, but it will add a warning to the Troi Plugin FMServer.log when the script triggering fails. The plug-in also links to our online help page: Enable “Validate cross-file plug-in access” extended privilege for FMP trigger scripts. Added new switch “-DontShowExtendedPrivilegeWarning” to the functions TrFile_DragAndDrop and TrFile_StartDragSource. When you add this switch no alert will be shown if script triggering fails because of insufficient privilege for triggering scripts. Updated the example file DragAndDrop.fmp12, and added a script which can test the switch “-DontShowExtendedPrivilegeWarning”. Pricing & Availability Fully functional demo versions of the updated plug-ins are available on the product pages of each plug-in. Licenses start at US$ 85 per user for the Troi Encryptor Plug-in. Details on developer licenses and multi-user discounts can be found on the product pages of each plug-in. You can order licenses there or from our web shop. Upgrade information The registration requirements for the plug-ins have not changed. If you have a current registration you can update for free. If you don’t own a current license you can order upgrades from our web shop.

Updated Troi File Plug-in for FileMaker Pro 2023 improves drag and drop functionality Lienden, the Netherlands, June 1, 2023–Troi today announced the immediate availability of Troi File Plug-in 15.0 for FileMaker 2023. Troi File Plug-in 15.0 is made compatible with Claris FileMaker Pro 2023 (FileMaker Pro 20.1.1), Claris FileMaker Pro 19 up to version 19.6.3 and the latest versions of macOS and Windows. We added new functionality and improved several functions of the plug-in and improved the code in several places, making the plug-in faster and more secure. New functionality and improvements Added switch “-SkipInvisibles” to the TrFile_GetFolderSize function. If you add this switch the plug-in will not add the size of invisible (hidden) files to the returned size. Added support for Digital Negative (DNG) files and Apple ProRAW to the TrFile_CreateThumbnail function. Improved the Set MetaData of Image File script step and the TrFile_SetMetaData function with the switch “-SetIPTC”. The plug-in will now write the IPTC metdata earlier in the JPEG file, improving compatibility with other applications that read or write IPTC. (Windows) Enhanced the TrFile_CreateThumbnail function and significantly improved the speed of creating thumbnails for rotated JPEGs. (macOS) Improved extended attributes (xattrs) support with the script steps Insert in File, Set MetaData of Image File and Substitute In File and the functions TrFile_InsertContents, TrFile_SetMetadata and TrFile_Substitute. If the source file has extended attributes they are also copied to the destination file. If the source file has a (legacy) resource fork stored as xattr this is also copied. Improved Drag and Drop functionality Fixed a problem in the Add DragAndDrop Handler script step and the TrFile_DragAndDrop function: drag and drop now correctly works with FileMaker Pro 2023 (FileMaker Pro 20.1.1). (macOS only) Added the new switch “-AllowFilePromiseDrops” to the switches parameter of the TrFile_DragAndDropfunction. This allows you to drag files to the FileMaker window that don’t exist yet (a.k.a. file promises), such as zip files or images from a web application. Added new function TrFile_StartDragSource, which allows you to click and drag the (binary) contents of a container field or variable as a file out of FileMaker into other applications (for example a web application). (macOS) Improved the drag and drop functionality, improved the code and made it more robust if paths cannot be found or converted. Also improved handling of multiple mail drops on macOS 10.15 and later. (macOS) Improved the MailDrop functionality. Temporary files in the TroiTEMPDRAGFOLDER folder are now deleted after the system restarts and no longer show up in a Rescued Items folder in the trash. Updated the DragAndDrop.fmp12 example. Added notes and optional script steps to better find the bounds for drop zones on layouts with a Top Navigation Part. Also improved dropping mail into the DragAndDrop.fmp12 example. It now handles slow maildrops better, by waiting up to 5 seconds. Improved (movie) metadata support Improved the TrFile_GetMetaData function: you can use these switches to easily get a single metadata item of a movie: -GetMovieTitle -GetMovDescriptionStr * -GetMovieKeywords -GetMovieAlbum -GetMovieArtist -GetMovieAuthor -GetMovieComment -GetMovieCopyright -GetMovieInformation -GetMovieProducer -GetMovieDirector -GetMovieEncodedBy * Note that the -GetMovDescriptionStr switch is different from the existing -GetMovieDescription switch, which returns a list of (all) movie properties. Improved the TrFile_GetMetaData function: added support for getting EXIF out of PNG images. Improved security, increased speed and other changes Improved the code in several places and made it more secure. (macOS) Modernized the code and removed dependency on legacy Carbon code in several places. (Windows) Improved the speed of the TrFile_GetFileSize function for files on network drives. Added switch “-GetStartupRegistrationLog” to the TrFile_Version function. This will return a text log of the plug-in’s registration process at startup time of FileMaker Pro. When you have problems registering the plug-in, you can see if the payment certificate was found and if a valid registration code was found. Added an example script to Version.fmp12, which gets the text log of the startup registration of the plug-in. Also improved the EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12 example file: added a script which adds the Startup Registration Log to the log field. This will get a text log of the startup registration process of the plug-in. (macOS) Fixed a problem with the script steps Insert in File, Set MetaData of Image File and Substitute In File and the functions TrFile_InsertContents, TrFile_SetMetadata and TrFile_Substitute. When running on macOS Ventura and the source and destination file being equal these functions would not work and return the error code $$-43 (fnfErr).
