Ocean West Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan360Works Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 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.

Ocean West Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 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?
