[ANN] Three weeks till year's end
by Christian Schmitz 10 Dec '24

Hello everyone, The year 2024 will end in less than three weeks. Do you need some more licenses? * You can order licenses for 2025 or later and have invoice, delivery and payment done in 2024. This way you secure the current pricing and the possibility to keep upgradeability for older licenses. * And of course you can order updates for several years in advance for all your MBS products. * As all DynaPDF plugin licenses are per developer, you should check if you got a new developer in your team this year and adjust licenses to match team size. * For MBS FileMaker Plugin please check if you have enough license for the number of seats or servers you have in use. * For LibXL you can check if you like to upgrade from individual developer licenses to the Enterprise level. We can assist and may apply a special upgrade price. If you upgrade to unlimited seats or servers, the plugin won't need to check the usage counts. Especially if you run on a budget and you want to spend some money in the old year, you can buy updates for several years in advance. If you need help to decide what FileMaker or plugin license you need, we may be able to assist you. Sincerely Christian -- Read our blog about news on our plugins: http://www.mbsplugins.de/

Nickenich, Germany - (November 12th, 2024) -- Monkeybread Software today is pleased to announce MBS Plugin 14.5 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 14.5 has been updated and now includes over 7500 different functions, and the versatile plugin has gained more new functions: For this release we updated our Barcode detection code. The Barcode.Detect function can now better detect barcodes, e.g. find a small QR Code on an full page. The Barcode.DetectAsJSON function can find multiple barcodes and return them all as JSON with details like their position on page. On macOS we have plenty of enhancements to FileMaker Pro for developers. We added auto complete for custom functions to offer you table occurrences, field, operator, function and parameter names. We even make suggestions for Get() functions. We add a comment field to the manage database dialog. To put in a comment, you create a field named _TableComment and add a comment there. Commit your changes by closing the dialog. The next time you select the table in the dialog, the plugin will show the comment below the table name. We added tooltips to show field comments in the debugger, export dialog, script workspace and calculation dialogs. For DynaPDF we have new parser functions to list and then delete images on a PDF page. You can query the color and text alignment and bounding box for annotations. The DynaPDF.GetGlyphOutline function queries the outline of a glyph used to draw a character. On macOS and iOS you can now use the Vision.RectifyDocument function to align and rectify an image. The same feature as used in the DocumentCameraScan functions, but now available on its own. Our overlay windows can now show content based on a web viewer. Use Overlay.AddWebViewer to create the web viewer inside the Overlay. Load some HTML and CSS to show content with transparency in the overlay. The Process.List function got implemented for Linux, we have a Math.Rate function to calculate interest like Excel, Text.FilterSwissQRCode function to filter text for use in Swiss payment QR-Codes, new WordFile functions to read and write metadata in Word files and a new List.Intersection function.
