Nickenich, Germany - (May 5th, 2026) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS FileMaker Plugin 16.2 for Claris FileMaker for macOS, iOS, Linux and Windows, the latest update to their product that is easily the most powerful plugin currently available for Claris FileMaker produce line. As the leading database management solution for Windows, macOS, iOS and the web, the Claris FileMaker Pro Integrated Development Environment supports a plugin architecture that can easily extend the feature set of the application. MBS FileMaker Plugin 16.2 has been updated and now includes over 7800 different functions, and the versatile plugin has gained more new functions:

The DynaPDF Starter license now includes encryption, form fields and digital signatures. Previously these features were part of the Lite license. You may still need the Lite license level to read existing PDF files.

Use DynaPDF parser to inspect the content of a PDF page. The DynaPDF.Parser.Content function provides all drawing commands on a PDF as a big JSON block. You may use DynaPDF.Parser.Delete function to mark specific commands for deletion. When using tables in PDF documents, you can use DynaPDF.Table.SetColOrRowSpan function to merge cells.

We enhanced the script search over all scripts. The new search can find scripts by ID or group path, allow fuzzy and case-senstive search as well as regular expressions. You can customize search with a custom search.html in the extensions folder.

Create a window with a WebViewer using our WebView.CreateWindow function. This window and its WebViewer operate independent from FileMaker. Use FileMaker.PerformScript function in JavaScript to trigger scripts or use FileMaker.Evaluate to evaluate a FileMaker expression within JavaScript. This provides a never seen before integration of JavaScript inside FileMaker. We upgraded WebViewers created with Overlay.AddWebViewer, WebView.Create and WebView.CreateWithControl to do provide the same integration.

When using the Foundation Models on macOS, you can query the context size for the model. Use the FoundationModels.TokenCount function to query the tokens need for a given text.

We enhanced our Matrix functions. Use Matrix.MBS to call a MBS function dynamically and pass parameters using a matrix. Swap columns or rows with Matrix.SwapColumns and Matrix.SwapRows functions within a matrix. And Matrix.SearchAndReplace can search and replace text in a matrix.

Use JSON.FromToon to convert TOON formatted data to JSON. Query the parameters used in an failed SQL query with FM.ExecuteSQL.LastParameters function. Transform images with GMImage.AffineTransformfunction. Use Llama.LoadBackend function to load specific backends for Llama to run LLM models. And CURL.AddOptionHTTPHeader helps to add headers step by step for a CURL request.

Finally we updated DynaPDF to version 5.0.1.9, jsoncons to 1.6.0, libarchive to 3.8.7, libexpat to 2.7.5, mongo-c-driver to 2.2.4, openssl to 3.5.6, phidgets, SQLAPI to 5.4.2, Xcode to 26.4 and zxing to version 3.0.2.
