SCGetContainer and FM 12 container fields

[dtremmel]

Hi -

I've been playing around with moving files (in this case, pdfs) from SuperContainer storage to FileMaker 12 container storage. While the SCGetContainer function works to do this, the resulting container field does not have the expected functionality. Instead of being able to view and interact with the pdf, as happens if I drag & drop the same file into the container field, I get just an icon and filename showing in the container field, and it won't even give me a contextual menu to open the file in Preview (in this case, since I'm on a Mac).

Is this a limitation of the SCGetContainer command, or are there more secrets that I need to know about to get the container fields to behave as expected when I move these files?

Thanks,

Dave
