Gap_Filler FM Plugin Adds Mac Dialog Goodness

[Chris Dragon]

The latest Gap_Filler adds Mac support for an error-logging dialog, progress bar, and numerous fixes to free-form dialogs as well as FileMaker 7 compatibility fixes.

* GF_ProgressBar shows a task description and a progress bar with an automatic computation of estimated time remaining.

* GF_Error automatically writes an error message, FileMaker error code, current file, user, script and layout name to /var/log/system.log. The user only sees a dialog with the error message you supply and they are asked to contact the administrator.

* GF_Dialog can display any number of buttons, fields, and stylized text labels in any arrangement. This release includes improved Windows-like hotkeys to activate buttons or checkboxes, along with other bug fixes.

* All known problems with running under Mac FileMaker 7 have been resolved.

About Gap_Filler

Originally developed for private use at The Children's Nature Institute, this plug-in has become so useful that we wanted to make it publicly available. Everything in Gap_Filler addresses a real business need at CNI, so it isn't bloated with features that merely sound nice but serve little purpose in the real world. Gap_Filler saves CNI development time, automates repetitive tasks, and creates a more intuitive and functional user interface for our staff.

Gap_Filler combines some of the best features of other plug-ins that would have cost CNI $175 or more per employee, along with features we haven't seen anywhere else, including:

* Dialogs with Limitless Items

* Pop-up Menus

* Hotkeys and Key Simulation

* Text/RegEx Search in Scripts (and elsewhere)

* Drawing

* Color Replacement

* Printer Automation

* Mouse Control

* Clipboard Control

* Regular Expression Search/Replace

* Hashing

* SQL

* Variables

...and more!
