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 you can:
- get data from files that are on the disk of the computer into FileMaker Pro
- (batch) import pictures, sounds etc. and optionally store only a reference to them in 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
- query detailed information of files: the size on disk, creation and modification dates and much more
- launch files with their appropriate application directly from FileMaker Pro
Suggested Uses
- Batch import of images, movies, sounds, text files, etc.
- Keep your database small, by storing only references to images
- Creating a web site by exporting multiple HTML files
- Updating solutions, by moving database files into place
- Reading and writing custom formatted files, for example from legacy systems
- Cataloging complete projects, including pictures
