Troi File Plug-in Beta Version Released

Troi Automatisering has released a new beta version for Troi File Plug-in, bringing it to version 3.0 beta version 2. Troi File Plug-in is a Filemaker Pro plug-in designed for accessing information outside the FMP database. The beta release features External FileMaker 7 API plug-in support and expanded parameter sizes. According to Troi Automatisering:

Troi Automatisering today announced the availability of the second public beta version of Troi File Plug-in 3.0, for FileMaker Pro 7.

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.

Troi File Plug-in 3.0b2 makes use of the new extended plug-in API of FileMaker 7. Calls to the plug-inis functions can now support Unicode and more and bigger parameters.

Troi File Plug-in 3.0b2 has these features (compared to the classic plug-in):

  • The plug-in uses the native External Function API of FileMaker Pro 7
  • The plug-in functions now have a size limit of 1 Gb per parameter (up from the total of 64000 character limit for all parameters in FileMaker 6!)
  • Each function now supports Unicode characters
