[ANN] MBS Plugin 15.4 for Claris FileMaker - More than 7700 functions in one plugin
by Christian Schmitz 09 Sep '25

09 Sep '25

[ANN] MBS Plugin 15.4 for Claris FileMaker - More than 7700 functions in one plugin Nickenich, Germany - (September 9th, 2025) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Plugin 15.4 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 15.4 has been updated and now includes over 7700 different functions, and the versatile plugin has gained more new functions: With this release we add automatically clipboard conversions for the XML FileMaker uses when copying script steps, layout elements and more. You can copy something in FileMaker, paste it in a text editor, make changes and copy & paste back to FileMaker. On top of this we added Copy XML buttons to our snippets in the documentation, so you can copy examples directly from our documentation to your Script Workspace. There is a checkbox in the preferences dialog to enable this feature as well as a SyntaxColoring.ClipboardConverter.SetEnabled function. When running under macOS on an Apple Silicon based Mac, you can use SystemInfo.MacProductSOCName and SystemInfo.MacProductName functions to query the product name and the system-on-chip name. For our SQL functions, we got OLEDB: as a new prefix for SQL.Connect function. This allows you to pick the OLEDB connection type for Microsoft SQL Server directly. Alternatively you can still connect to SQL Server using the SQLServer: prefix. With ODBC, OLEDB and native SQL Server interface, we have three ways to connect to your Microsoft SQL Server. When you create your own custom functions via plugin, you can use JavaScript to define the functions. Pass the new flags to Plugin.RegisterFunction function to decide whether it is a FileMaker calculation or JavaScript. We updated our WebView functions for Windows to handle favorite icons. Use the WebView.FaviconURI function to learn what is the current URL for the favorite icon or WebView.Favicon to load the icon as container value to show it. Use the WebView.SetMemoryUsageTargetLevel function to set a WebViewer to low memory mode. On macOS, when you pick a style for a layout part, we sort the list of styles. Check the SyntaxColoring.SortStyleMenu.SetEnabled function to enable or disable this feature. When using our field picker enhancements, you can now press Command-G key combination to jump to the last table occurrence. For iOS, we improved the ListDialog functions, added support for Window.SetRoundCorners to product round corners for card windows on iOS and we implemented WebView.SetZoom and WebView.GetZoom for macOS and iOS. The CURL.SetupAWS function can handle COPY and MOVE verbs to move or copy objects in AWS S3, the Python functions got a recursion limit, the QR-Code detection in AVRecorder functions got Windows support and DNSLookup functions can output results as JSON. Finally we updated DynaPDF to version 4.0.102.295, SQLAPI to version 5.4.0 and SQLite to version 3.50.4. See release notes for a complete list of changes: https://monkeybreadsoftware.com/filemaker/releasenotes154.shtml More details in the release notes. Please take the time to check our 600 example databases and check where you can use our plugin features in your solutions. System Requirements: * macOS 10.13 or later * Windows 10 and newer * FileMaker Pro 7 to 22.0 * FileMaker iOS SDK * FileMaker Server for Linux, Windows or macOS * FileMaker Tools since 22.0 Pricing and Availability: MBS FileMaker Plugin is available directly from the MonkeyBread Software website with licenses starting at just $149 USD. You can just download and try the plugin without a license or request a trail license. Not all functions are available in all platforms, please check specifications. Please join us on the next conferences and visit our booth.

[ANN] Neues MBS Plugin 15.4 für Claris FileMaker - Über 7700 Funktionen in einem Plugin
by Christian Schmitz 09 Sep '25

09 Sep '25

9. September 2025 - Monkeybread Software veröffentlicht heute das MBS Plugin für Claris FileMaker in Version 15.4, mit inzwischen über 7700 Funktionen eines der größten FileMaker Plugins überhaupt. Hier einige der Neuerungen: Mit dieser Version fügen wir automatische Zwischenablage-Konvertierungen für die XML-Daten hinzu, die FileMaker beim Kopieren von Skriptschritten, Layoutelementen und mehr verwendet. Sie können etwas in FileMaker kopieren, in einen Texteditor einfügen, Änderungen vornehmen und dann wieder in FileMaker kopieren und einfügen. Darüber hinaus haben wir unseren Snippets in der Dokumentation Buttons zum Kopieren von XML hinzugefügt, sodass Sie Beispiele direkt aus unserer Dokumentation in Ihren Skript-Arbeitsbereich kopieren können. Im Einstellungsdialog gibt es ein Kontrollkästchen zum Aktivieren dieser Funktion sowie eine Funktion „SyntaxColoring.ClipboardConverter.SetEnabled“. Wenn Sie unter macOS auf einem Apple Silicon-basierten Mac arbeiten, können Sie die Funktionen SystemInfo.MacProductSOCName und SystemInfo.MacProductName verwenden, um den Produktnamen und den System-on-Chip Namen abzufragen. Für unsere SQL-Funktionen haben wir OLEDB: als neues Präfix für die Funktion SQL.Connect eingeführt. Damit können Sie den OLEDB-Verbindungstyp für Microsoft SQL Server direkt auswählen. Alternativ können Sie weiterhin mit dem Präfix SQLServer: eine Verbindung zu SQL Server herstellen. Mit ODBC, OLEDB und der nativen SQL Server-Schnittstelle stehen Ihnen drei Möglichkeiten zur Verfügung, um eine Verbindung zu Ihrem Microsoft SQL Server herzustellen. Wenn Sie Ihre eigenen benutzerdefinierten Funktionen über ein Plugin erstellen, können Sie JavaScript verwenden, um die Funktionen zu definieren. Übergeben Sie die neuen Flags an die Funktion Plugin.RegisterFunction, um zu entscheiden, ob es sich um eine FileMaker-Berechnung oder JavaScript handelt. Wir haben unsere WebView-Funktionen für Windows aktualisiert, damit sie Favoriten-Symbole verarbeiten können. Verwenden Sie die Funktion WebView.FaviconURI, um die aktuelle URL für das Favoriten-Symbol zu ermitteln, oder WebView.Favicon, um das Symbol als Containerwert zu laden und anzuzeigen. Verwenden Sie die Funktion WebView.SetMemoryUsageTargetLevel, um einen WebViewer in den Modus für geringen Speicherverbrauch zu versetzen. Unter macOS sortieren wir die Liste der Stile, wenn Sie einen Stil für einen Layoutteil auswählen. Aktivieren oder deaktivieren Sie diese Funktion mit der Funktion „SyntaxColoring.SortStyleMenu.SetEnabled“. Wenn Sie unsere Verbesserungen für die Feldauswahl verwenden, können Sie jetzt die Tastenkombination „Befehl-G“ drücken, um zum letzten Vorkommen in der Tabelle zu springen. Für iOS haben wir die ListDialog-Funktionen verbessert, Unterstützung für Window.SetRoundCorners hinzugefügt, um abgerundete Ecken für Kartenfenster unter iOS zu erzeugen, und WebView.SetZoom und WebView.GetZoom für macOS und iOS implementiert. Die Funktion CURL.SetupAWS kann COPY- und MOVE-Verben verarbeiten, um Objekte in AWS S3 zu verschieben oder zu kopieren, die Python-Funktionen haben eine Rekursionsbeschränkung erhalten, die QR-Code-Erkennung in AVRecorder-Funktionen wird nun von Windows unterstützt und DNSLookup-Funktionen können Ergebnisse als JSON ausgeben. Schließlich haben wir DynaPDF auf Version 4.0.102.295, SQLAPI auf Version 5.4.0 und SQLite auf Version 3.50.4 aktualisiert. Alle Änderungen in den Release Notes: https://monkeybreadsoftware.com/filemaker/releasenotes154.shtml 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 10.13 oder neuer * Windows 10 und neuer * FileMaker Pro 7 bis 22.0 * FileMaker iOS SDK * FileMaker Server für Linux, Windows oder macOS * FileMaker Tools seit 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.shtml Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Schmitz Monkeybread Software -- Man sieht sich auf der FileMaker Konferenz in Hamburg 15. bis 17. September 2025 https://filemaker-konferenz.com
