Official Beta test period for FM-iCal-Connector v2.0

[qutic development]

Frankfurt, Germany - Juli 07, 2008 - quart-edv announces the start of the official beta test period for FM-iCal-Connector version 2.0

WHAT IS IT:

FM-iCal-Connector is a powerful solution for FileMaker Pro and Leopard, Apples latest Operating System.

With the FM-iCal-Connector FileMaker plug-in, the connectivity of FileMaker solutions on the Mac gives you new possibilities to share your iCal events and tasks in an easy way.

Create, get, change or delete calendars, events and tasks directly out of your database. And this works too for calendars hosted by the new iCal-Server or any other CalDav-Server.

The plug-in helps you to integrate FileMaker Pro into the new calendar-workflow provided by Apple Inc. with MacOS X 10.5 Leopard. Now, with FM-iCal-Connector, FileMaker is a real calendar team player.

This magic is done without any AppleScript, it is all native Cocoa. There is no need to open iCal-Application itself. And it is really fast.

NEW IN VERSION 2.0:

Version 2.0 now supports "Automatic Field Mapping" a new functionality which is generating records automatically in FileMaker from iCal queries - there is no need to use the xml stuff, if you don´t like it ;-)

Automatic Field Mapping is using "Convention over Configuration". It means that FM-iCal-Connector has sensible defaults for every table and field. Following the conventions the plug-in is doing the magic for you without writing many lines of script code. If you need to overwrite the conventions, FM-iCal-Connector makes that easy. You can use the table- or field-names of your current solution by overwriting the defaults.

If you want to begin from scratch the plug-in can create the basic tables and fields for you automatically.

REQUIREMENTS:

Minimum requirement is FileMaker Pro 8.5 and MacOS X 10.5. The plug-in is a universal binary and runs on Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computer. FileMaker 9 is fully supported.

PRICING:

A single user license is about USD 59. Network and developer licenses are available too. For more information please visit our product webpage.

Customers who are now purchasing licenses of FM-iCal-Connector v1.1.x or did it in the last three month will get a free upgrade to version 2.0.
