Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, July 14th, 2011--Troi Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of Troi File Plug-in 5.5 for FileMaker Pro 11.

What is Troi File Plug-in?

Troi File Plug-in is a very powerful tool for getting access to information outside the FileMaker Pro database. Any files or folders stored on the computer can be accessed through the functions of the plug-in. All from within FileMaker Pro you can:

- get data from files that are on the disk of the computer into FileMaker Pro

- create files anywhere on the hard disk and put data from FileMaker fields into them

- manipulate files and folders on the disk: this includes creating, deleting, copying, moving and modifying files and folders

- get the size on disk, creation and modification dates and much more

- launch and reveal files directly from FileMaker Pro

- manage your images and movies, and read and write IPTC and Exif metadata to JPEG images

What is new in version 5.5?

Troi File Plug-in 5.5 is an upgrade which adds support for Mac OS X Lion. It adds these new features:

- Tested and made compatible with Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (GM).

- Improved the TrFile_ListFolder function: you can now recursively get the list of files and folders and all the subfolders of the folder you are listing.

- (Mac OS X) You can now list the contents of a package folder (like for example a Mac OS X app).

- You can now create square thumbnails with the improved TrFile_CreateThumbnail function.

- Improved the TrFile_MetaData function: added support for getting EXIF data from many types of RAW files.

Troi File Plug-in 5.5 also incorporates these improvements:

- (Windows) Improved TrFile_ListFolder and TrFile_Search function, it now better returns files with higher Unicode characters in the name.

- (Mac OS X) Improved the TrFile_ListFolder and TrFile_Search function: changed the default to returning long file names (up to 255 characters). You no longer need to add the switch "-LongNames" to do this.

- Updated the example files and documentation for the new functionality.

- Fixed a few small issues and made several smaller improvements.
