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 - get the size on disk, creation and modification dates and much more - launch and reveal files directly from FileMaker Pro - manage your images and movies, and read and write IPTC and Exif metadata to JPEG images What is new in version 5.0? Troi File Plug-in 5.0 is an update for FileMaker 11 and Windows 7. It has these fixes and new features: - Made compatible with FileMaker Pro 11. - Added compatibility with Windows 7. - Made compatible with FileMaker styled paths, like for example "filemac:/MacHD/folder/file.txt". Each path parameter can now be a FileMaker styled path, but you can still use the FileSpec formats of previous versions of Troi File Plug-in. - Improved Drag and Drop functionality: you can now specify up to two drag destination rectangles (even on the same window), each drag can trigger a different script. - Added new function: TrFile_GetTypeOfItem, which provides an easy way to see if a path points to a folder or file. - Added support for RAW files in TrFile_CreateThumbnail: it can now create a thumbnail from the (large) thumbnail embedded in the RAW file. The plug-in can also return the full size thumbnail embedded in a RAW file with the switch "-GetFullSizeRawThumbnail". - You can now get the creation date and modification date of a folder using the TrFile_GetDateCreated and TrFile_GetDateModified functions. - You can now set the creation and modification date of a folder using the TrFile_SetTimestampCreated and TrFile_SetTimestampModified functions. - (Windows) Fixed a problem with TrFile_ExecuteShell always returning a timeout error $$-4230 even if the executed process terminated on time. - (Windows) Improved TrFile_ExecuteShell, including improved error handling. - (Mac OS X) Fixed a problem when creating a temporary file on a remote disk, which could result in a $$-5000 (afpAccessDenied) error. This error could occur in several functions: TrFile_CreateThumbnail, TrFile_SetMetaData and TrFile_Substitute. - (Mac OS X) Fixed a bug in TrFile_MoveFile function that could lead to a crash of FileMaker and removed calls to an older ResolveAlias function. This change will also fix potential problems in other functions that have a full path as parameter. - (Mac OS X only) Added support for ColorSync in TrFile_CreateThumbnail: this function can now create a thumbnail in the sRGB color space. - Improved the TrFile_MetaData function: When retrieving GPS metadata the Altitude reference now returns the correct sea level value. - For Solution developers: Added new switch to TrFile_Version: -UnregisterPlugin. This will remove the registration data. The plug-in will be in an unregistered state after this. - Updated the User Guide, and also fixed an incorrect example in the User Guide and Overview.fp7 - Updated several example files to reflect the new functionality.
