No Background Processing...

What is it about SC and FMP (Mac) that forces FMP to always be in the foreground when looping thru records uploading PDF's to SC?

Natively importing or exporting files i am able to open other apps and continue working but doing similar task with SC every time you navigate to another app or the finder FileMaker is forced to the active foreground app.

Are you passing in "showProgress=false" into the SCSetContainer function? If not, it may be that the progress bar is stealing focus. It might not be apparent that it is showing up because the upload is happening fast enough that the progress bar cant be drawn on the screen before the next SCSetContainer function call is called.

However that option is not available when using plugin function as Script Step?!

FTPeek had a script step (function) FTPeek_SetShowProgress.

To gain feature parity perhaps SuperContainer might gain this or another parameter on the actual script step?

Still not sure why SC doesn't allow background uploads... any further onsite on this?

this went a way but on the M1 it seems to be back you cannot go read email or surf the web while uploading hundreds of pdfs FM is forced to be the top application.

It's still thing when I am uploading a older of content FM is forced to foreground app I can't use any app while this process is happening...
