Subject: [ANN] Troi File Plug-in 8.0 for FileMaker Pro 14

Updated file management plug-in for FileMaker Pro 14 adds zipping of =
files and folders
Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, May 12th, 2015--Troi =
Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of Troi File =
Plug-in 8.0 for FileMaker Pro 14.
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
- 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 IPTC and Exif metadata from =
JPEG, Raw and PNG images
What is new in version 8.0?
Troi File Plug-in 8.0 has been made compatible with FileMaker 14:
- Added support for 64-bit architecture with FileMaker Pro 14
- Improved the example file EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12, to support the =
64-bit version of FileMaker Pro 14
- Functions which require user interface now support the 64-bit version =
of FileMaker Pro 14: TrFile_SelectFileDialog, TrFile_SelectFolderDialog =
and TrFile_SaveFileDialog
Troi File Plug-in 8.0 has the following new functionality:
- Added new function TrFile_CreateZIP, which can create ZIP files (a =
compressed archive). You can zip a single file or a complete folder.
- Added new CreateZIP example file which demonstrates this =
functionality.
- Added switch "-AllowMultipleFiles" to the TrFile_SelectFileDialog =
function, which allows the user to select multiple files in the dialog.
- (OS X) Added a new implementation for the function TrFile_Search: you =
can now search for files and folders using Spotlight.
- (OS X) You can now filter on extensions (like .txt) when using the =
TrFile_SelectFileDialog. For this the function TrFile_SetDefaultType now =
accepts multiple lines, to specify the extensions to enable. The =
formatting of this is now the same as on Windows.
- Added a switch "-SHA1" to the TrFile_GetFileHash function, which can =
return the SHA-1 hash value (checksum) of a file.
In addition to this, version 8.0 has several bug fixes and further =
improvements. We also made various minor changes to several example =
files.
More detailed information on all changes and improvements implemented in =
Troi File Plug-in 8.0 and earlier can be found at: =
http://www.troi.com/software/filehistory.html
Troi File Plug-in adds 63 functions to FileMaker Pro, giving you =
limitless possibilities in managing your system outside of the database. =
We invite you to test drive the new functionality and see what you can =
do with it!
Pricing & Availability
A fully functional demo version of Troi File Plug-in 8.0 is available =
for downloading at Troi's Web site at: =
http://www.troi.com/software/fileplugin.html

13 and 14. The plug-in is available for OS X 10.6.x or higher, Windows =
Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

a server-side plug-in and as a plug-in used by the web publishing engine =

trigger different scripts for different ports.

Did that placement obtain for every subsequent file, or would each file
remember its own local placement?
Your description does indeed ring a bell.

No need to open any dialogs.
FileMaker reopens a standalone file at the same size and location as when i=
t
was last closed. This then becomes the size and location for all users when
the file is copied to a server.
I used to size/position files top-left(ish) of screen before closing and
deploying to the server, to cater for the range of screen sizes in use by
our staff.

I wish I could remember what the define fields trick was for...

No need to open any dialogs.
FileMaker reopens a standalone file at the same size and location as when i=
t was last closed. This then becomes the size and location for all users wh=
en the file is copied to a server.
I used to size/position files top-left(ish) of screen before closing and de=
ploying to the server, to cater for the range of screen sizes in use by our=
staff.

Howsomever, a little experimentation should enable you to zero in on the de=

Script the "go to Layout X" command and in that script insert a "Move/Resiz=
