Back to Troi File Plugin Changelog

• Troi File Plugin 4.5 - 11th June 2008
  
  • New Functions:
  • Added new “TrFile_Reveal” function. With this you can reveal files and folders in the Finder or Windows Explorer.
  • Added powerful new “TrFile_DragAndDrop” function. With this you can drag files and folders on the FileMaker window. The paths of the dropped items can then be handled in a triggered script, for example to put them in a container field.
  • More Metadata Support:
  • Added “-GetGPS” switch to the “TrFile_MetaData” function. This will return the Global Positioning System data embedded in the Exif data in images. With this you can find the coordinates (latitude and longitude) where the image was taken.
  • Added support for reading XMP metadata (as used for example by Photoshop) in the “TrFile_MetaData” function.
  • Improved the TrFile_MetaData function for the switch “-GetMovieDescription”. It will now return more movie information. New items are: track count, frame count, frames per second, preferred playback rate, codec name, codec type. Also when the movie contains a Timecode track, the Timecode at the begining and end of the movie and the Timecode of the current frame is returned.
  • Added extra switches to the TrFile_MetaData function which return individual movie attributes: “-GetMovieDuration”, which returns the duration in seconds of a movie. When a movie contains a Timecode track the switches “-GetTimecodeBegin”, “-GetTimecodeEnd”, “-GetTimecodeCurrent” return the begin, end and current Timecode respectively. If there is no Timecode track an empty string is returned.
  • More and Better Exif Metadata Support:
  • Added support for writing Exif data. This is still somewhat limited as the Exif Maker Note and the Exif Thumbnail will not be added when setting the Exif data.
  • Added “-GetRawExif” switch to the “TrFile_MetaData” function: This returns the data in the more original form, for example aperture will be returned as 95/32, instead of 2.96875.
  • Improved the “TrFile_MetaData” function for getting Exif: implemented better handling of corrupt Exif data and incomplete date/times in Exif data.
  • More Execute Shell Possibilities:
  • Added “-DontWaitOnResult” switch to the TrFile_ExecuteShell function. With this switch the plug-in will not wait on the termination of the process, but return immediately.
  • Added a default timeout of 20 seconds to the TrFile_ExecuteShell function. If the process started does not terminate in 20 seconds the plug-in returns with a timeout error $$-4230.
  • Added “-TimeoutSecs=x” switch to the TrFile_ExecuteShell function. With this switch you can change the timeout until the function returns if the process started does not terminate.
  • (Windows only) Added “-ShowCommandWindow” switch to the TrFile_ExecuteShell function, which will show the command window and then wait 5 seconds. This can be used for debugging.
  • (Windows only) Added “-WaitAfterExitTicks=x” switch to the TrFile_ExecuteShell function. With this switch you can change the timeout the function waits after the command window has ended.
  • Other Changes:
  • Improved the TrFile_CreateThumbnail function: added a switch “-AntiAliasThumbnail”, which results in better bicubic antialiased thumbnails.
  • Improved the TrFile_CreateThumbnail function: added a switch “-BitDepth=32″, which will make the thumbnail a 32 bits image.
  • Several bug fixes and further improvements.
