![]() Troi File Plug-in 8.5Troi File Plug-in is copyright 1998-2016 of Troi Automatisering. All rights reserved (May 10, 2016). This cross-platform plug-in is compatible with FileMaker Pro 12 to FileMaker Pro 15. Finally you can do things you thought were still impossible to do with FileMaker Pro. Now you can create powerful databases by using this plug-in! INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSINSTALLING A (TROI) PLUG-IN FOR THE FIRST TIME.Starting with FileMaker Pro 12 a plug-in can be installed directly from a container field. So if you are using FileMaker Pro 12 or later, installation is very easy: just open the "All File Examples.fmp12" example file and the startup script will install the plug-in for you. See also the example file EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12 (which is included in the download package) which contains the actual plug-in and install script. To install the plug-in for FileMaker Pro 11 follow these instructions:
NOTE We have successfully tested the plug-in with FileMaker Pro 11, but we no longer provide active support for this version. Troi File Plug-in will
display a dialog box, indicating that it is loading and
showing the registration status. You can now open the example file
"All File Examples" to see how to use the plug-in's
functions. What Troi File Plug-in can do for youThe file manipulation functions make it possible to save
the contents of a (text)field or global to a file. You may
calculate a path name or let the user indicate a location on
your disk through a Save as dialog box. The reverse is also
possible: have the user select a file and read it into a
field. Additional functions let you query detailed
information of a file: the size on disk, creation and
modification dates etc. Other manipulations include
creation, deletion, copying and moving of files, and the
creation of folders. Writing IPTC and EXIF metadata to JPEG filesTroi File plug-in can not only read but also write IPTC and Exif metadata. As this is a very powerful feature, please read the separate readme on writing IPTC + Exif metadata before using this feature.
