[ANN] MBS Plugin 16.3 for Claris FileMaker - More than 7900 functions in one plugin
by support＠monkeybreadsoftware.de 21 Jul '26

21 Jul '26

Nickenich, Germany - (July 14th, 2026) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Plugin 16.3 for Claris FileMaker for macOS, iOS, Linux and Windows, the latest update to their product that is easily the most powerful plugin currently available for Claris FileMaker produce line. As the leading database management solution for Windows, macOS, iOS and the web, the Claris FileMaker Pro Integrated Development Environment supports a plugin architecture that can easily extend the feature set of the application. MBS FileMaker Plugin 16.3 has been updated and now includes over 7900 different functions, and the versatile plugin has gained more new functions: For MongoDB we added functions to store files in the database using GridFS functions. You can create a file and write container values. Later you can find files, read them back into a variable or delete them. We got Keychain functions for macOS and iOS to store generic passwords. A way to have your FileMaker solution keep sensitive credentials in the system keychain. The XL functions got updated with new sort options for auto filters. You can check data validations for a sheet, check whether a table has an auto filter and remove the filter. Our WebView window can optionally show up as a popup window. You can close it in a script with WebView.Close or from JavaScript with window.close function. For developers we have a display of the time needed by running a calculation with our tools in the calculation dialogs on macOS. You can use the Command-Option-T shortcut for the calculation editor to insert the current selected table occurrence in the popup menu. Or you select a table occurrence in the formula, press the shortcut and select the table occurrence in the popup menu. We improved the script search. You have an option for a compact result view and to exclude entries in the search results. Search can skip disabled script steps and for regular expressions, we have a help screen. The list functions can match values based on columns. Great to filter CSV text based on prefix, postfix or substring. The printer functions can list and cancel print jobs on Windows. For DynaPDF we added the Sauvola filter to convert gray images to black & white. The CNContactPicker functions can return current properties and set which keys to display. SpeechRecognition.Recognize can return the result as JSON with more details, WebView.SetPrintParameter has more options for printing on Windows and ScriptWorkspace.Steps helps to read the list of script steps. Use Window.Screen to check which screen a window is on and use SystemInfo.isGoldenGate to detect the newest macOS version. Finally we updated CURL library to version 8.21.0, DynaPDF to 5.0.3.12, expat to 2.8.2, jsoncons to 1.8.1, lcms to 2.19.1, libarchive to 3.8.8, LibXL to 5.2.0, mongo-c-driver to 2.3.1, openssl to 3.5.7, SQLite to 3.53.3 and Xcode to version 26.6.

[ANN] Neues MBS Plugin 16.3 für Claris FileMaker - Über 7900 Funktionen in einem Plugin
by support＠monkeybreadsoftware.de 21 Jul '26

21 Jul '26

14. Juli 2026 - Monkeybread Software veröffentlicht heute das MBS Plugin für Claris FileMaker in Version 16.3, mit inzwischen über 7900 Funktionen eines der größten FileMaker Plugins überhaupt. Hier einige der Neuerungen: Für MongoDB haben wir Funktionen hinzugefügt, mit denen Dateien mithilfe von GridFS-Funktionen in der Datenbank gespeichert werden können. Sie können eine Datei erstellen und Werte in den Container schreiben. Später können Sie Dateien suchen, sie in eine Variable zurücklesen oder löschen. Für macOS und iOS gibt es Keychain-Funktionen zum Speichern allgemeiner Passwörter. So können Sie in Ihrer FileMaker-Lösung sensible Anmeldedaten im System-Keychain speichern. Die XL-Funktionen wurden um neue Sortieroptionen für Autofilter erweitert. Sie können die Datenvalidierungen für ein Arbeitsblatt überprüfen, feststellen, ob eine Tabelle einen Autofilter enthält, und den Filter entfernen. Unser WebView-Fenster kann optional als Popup-Fenster angezeigt werden. Sie können es in einem Skript mit „WebView.Close“ oder über JavaScript mit der Funktion „window.close“ schließen. Für Entwickler wird in den Berechnungsdialogen unter macOS die Zeit angezeigt, die für die Ausführung einer Berechnung mit unseren Tools benötigt wird. Mit der Tastenkombination „Befehl-Option-T“ im Berechnungseditor können Sie das aktuell ausgewählte Tabellenobjekt in das Popup-Menü einfügen. Alternativ können Sie ein Tabellenobjekt in der Formel auswählen, die Tastenkombination drücken und das Tabellenobjekt im Popup-Menü auswählen. Wir haben die Skriptsuche verbessert. Sie haben nun die Möglichkeit, die Ergebnisse kompakt anzuzeigen und Einträge aus den Suchergebnissen auszuschließen. Die Suche kann deaktivierte Skriptschritte überspringen, und für reguläre Ausdrücke steht Ihnen ein Hilfebildschirm zur Verfügung. Mit den Listenfunktionen lassen sich Werte anhand von Spalten abgleichen. Ideal, um CSV-Text nach Präfix, Suffix oder Teilzeichenfolge zu filtern. Mit den Druckerfunktionen können unter Windows Druckaufträge aufgelistet und abgebrochen werden. Für DynaPDF haben wir den Sauvola-Filter hinzugefügt, um Graustufenbilder in Schwarz-Weiß-Bilder umzuwandeln. Die CNContactPicker-Funktionen können aktuelle Eigenschaften zurückgeben und festlegen, welche Schaltflächen angezeigt werden sollen. SpeechRecognition.Recognize kann das Ergebnis als JSON mit weiteren Details zurückgeben, WebView.SetPrintParameter bietet mehr Optionen für den Druck unter Windows und ScriptWorkspace.Steps hilft beim Auslesen der Liste der Skriptschritte. Verwenden Sie `Window.Screen`, um zu prüfen, auf welchem Bildschirm sich ein Fenster befindet, und verwenden Sie `SystemInfo.isGoldenGate`, um die neueste macOS-Version zu ermitteln. Schließlich haben wir die CURL-Bibliothek auf Version 8.21.0, DynaPDF auf 5.0.3.12, expat auf 2.8.2, jsoncons auf 1.8.1, lcms auf 2.19.1, libarchive auf 3.8.8, LibXL auf 5.2.0, mongo-c-driver auf 2.3.1, OpenSSL auf 3.5.7, SQLite auf 3.53.3 und Xcode auf Version 26.6. Alle Änderungen in den Release Notes: https://monkeybreadsoftware.com/filemaker/releasenotes163 Neue Funktionen in der Dokumentation: https://mbsplugins.eu/newinversion163 Mehr Details zu den Änderungen finden Sie in den Release Notes. Nehmen Sie sich ruhig einmal die Zeit das Plugin näher anzuschauen. Probieren Sie die über 600 Beispieldatenbanken und überlegen Sie einmal, wo Sie welche Funktion in ihren Lösungen einbauen können. Systemvorraussetzungen: * macOS 10.15 oder neuer * Windows 10 und neuer * FileMaker Pro 7 bis 22.0 * FileMaker iOS SDK mit iOS 15.0 und neuer * FileMaker Server für Linux, Windows oder macOS * FileMaker Tools seit FileMaker 22.0 Lizenzen gibt es ab 119 Euro (zuzüglich MWSt) direkt auf unserer Webseite. Sie können die Plugins gerne ohne Lizenz einmal testen oder eine Trial Lizenz anfordern. Bei Fragen können Sie sich gerne auf Deutsch oder Englisch an uns wenden, per Email oder Telefon. Gerne können Sie auch auf einem FileMaker Stammtisch oder auf einer der nächsten FileMaker Konferenzen mehr erfahren. Mehr Informationen auf unserer Webseite: https://monkeybreadsoftware.com/filemaker/ Dokumentation: https://mbsplugins.eu/ Release Notes: https://monkeybreadsoftware.com/filemaker/releasenotes Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Schmitz Monkeybread Software -- Man sieht sich auf der FileMaker Konferenz in Salzburg 14. bis 16. September 2026 https://filemaker-konferenz.com
