Show contents of linked folder

[Shrubman]

Hi folks,

Is it possible to have a container field which shows the icons of the various documents inside of a remote folder? How would I do that? Each of our projects which are tracked in FMPro also has a folder on our server which contains documents related to that project. I'd like to be able to have a container field in each project view which shows those documents as icons, allowing them to be clicked to open in their native aplication

Thanks,

Evan

I'm now trying out the LaunchIt plugin. That looks like it could be the solution!

Still happy to hear feedback...

You can also open a remote file by using the Go to Field [ Container field, Select contents ], IF the "file" is shown/linked via a calculation, with a container result. Look at the path possibilities in the Insert File script step; it's a little different for Windows than Mac.

The script step to open the file is Go to Field [ container, Select ]
