SuperContainer 2.831 released

2011-11-14T21:11:08Z

SuperContainer 2.831 has been released. Due to problems with Java Update 6 for Snow Leopard and Java Update 1 for Lion (1.6.0.29), Java applets may crash in FileMaker. This crash occurs once a layout that contains an applet is opened. The latest version of SuperContainer works around these issues by switching to an HTML-only mode when running on Mac OS X, without a Java applet. This disables some functionality, including drag and drop. Bug reports have been filed with Apple, listed below:

Apple bug report #9843334: 32 bit Java crashes when loading applet if JVM has already been loaded
Apple bug report #9843400: Drag & drop broken with Java applets in Lion

360Works is currently waiting on a fix from Apple to restore this functionality.

It is also important to us, and we are proud of our record of innovation and of ensuring that our products are compatible with upgrades from the moment of their release - whether Windows, OS X, or FileMaker Pro. Rest assured that 360Works' products will continue to be updated and supported as technology evolves, and we are excited to be a part of this evolution.

Since the announcement of OS X Lion v10.7, we have been working to ensure that our products are updated and compatible in time for Apple's release. We are happy to announce 360Works has tested all of our products for compatibility with the latest version of Mac OS X.

With the exception of SuperContainer (which requires an available upgrade), all of our products will work as expected with no additional updates in OS X Lion. To upgrade to the Lion-compatible version 2.81 of SuperContainer, just visit http://www.360works.com/supercontainer.

360Works ScriptMaster 4.123 released

2011-03-24T15:38:37Z

ScriptMaster 4.123 is available on our site, this fixes a problem where plugins generated by ScriptMaster Advanced were not compatible with auto-updating from FileMaker Server. Download from http://360works.com/scriptmaster/

360Works plug-ins have been updated, auto-update issue resolved

2011-01-24T23:18:21Z

All 360Works plug-ins have been updated today to resolve an auto-update issue.

This issue affects all Windows user who are using an auto-update script to install the most recent version of 360Works plug-ins. If you are not using auto-update, or if all of your users are on Mac OS X, you do not need to install this release. If you are using auto-update on Windows, there is a bug with the previous 360Works version that prevents auto-update from closing down the plug-in, which is needed in order to download the most recent version from the server.

First, if you are running auto-update from your own server, install the most recent version of the plug-ins on your server as you normally would for any update. You can download the latest auto-update packages from fmp7://autoupdate.360works.com/AutoUpdate360Works

The next step is to have your Windows users run the uninstaller applet at http://360works.com/remove-plugins/ . This is a very simple process which will remove the old version of the plugin.

After that, your users should be able to auto-update normally without having to uninstall for future updates. In addition, 'hot-swapping' should now work, so that the newest plugin update is immediately available without having to quit and restart FileMaker Pro.

Thank you for using 360Works products!

360Works Scribe Released!

Scribe, the Ultimate Text Processor for FileMaker is now available!

Scribe is the ultimate text processing plug-in for FileMaker. Use it to read and write text from Microsoft Office and PDF files, find what changed in a text field, and highlight text matching any criteria.

Read and write Word, Excel, and PDF documents and forms directly from FileMaker.
Easily search contents of Word and PDF files from FileMaker.
Compare and highlight changes to text in FileMaker.
Many more powerful text processing features!

Read and Write Documents

Scribe is a powerful tool that allows you to search, track changes, and manipulate documents. For example, you could use Scribe in a FileMaker script to read order form fields from an Excel, Word, or PDF document into FileMaker. Scribe can also write to documents, so you could also use it in reverse to fill out forms!

Extract searchable text from documents to help you search for a particular document file in your database using a regular FileMaker Find command.

Powerful Text Processing

Scribe can show you the differences between text fields, highlight text in your text fields, or help you perform advanced find-and-replace commands. Compare text between documents and have Scribe show you what has been added, removed, or modified. Scribe can also perform advanced text processing, such as pulling out all links from an HTML document.

Four Plugins in One!

If you've been using 360Works Textractor, 360Works Difference Engine, or 360Works Patterns, those functions are all now included in 360Works Scribe. Scribe combines all of these features, plus adds the ability to read and write PDF, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Word documents.

ScriptMaster 4 Released!

2010-07-28T17:51:14Z

360Works ScriptMaster 4 Released!

We have released the latest version of our plugin, ScriptMaster 4!

We have been working extremely hard to incorporate all of the suggestions, ideas, and feedback from the thousands of people using ScriptMaster 3, and we think that you will be happy with the result.

Improvements to the new ScriptMaster 4:

Version 4 delivers major speed and stability improvements: Some ScriptMaster modules, like the choose file dialog and the color picker, display a visible GUI to the user. For other, non-GUI functions (which is the majority of them), we have optimized the threading model to run much faster. For example, the UUID module now generates about 3,300 UUIDs per second in version 4, where version 3 topped out at about 300 UUIDs per second. Compiling and registering modules should also be faster now.
Version 4 includes the latest Groovy version, 1.7.1. For those of you writing your own ScriptMaster modules in Groovy, this will let you use the latest and greatest third party libraries.

New modules in ScriptMaster 4:

iPhone push notifications (thanks Todd Geist)
Path parsing, for easily grabbing sections of an XML document
Move / rename files (thanks Jack James)
Recursively get the size of a folder
Find all image URLs in HTML for screen scraping

Version 4 is much more stable in our testing. Some people reported problems with hanging and freezing in version 3. As far as we can tell, these issues have been resolved.

There are also numerous minor issues which have been addressed, please see the release notes in the download for more details.

Get more power and generate plugins with ScriptMaster 4 Advanced

ScriptMaster 4 is a free product, and we foresee all future releases continuing to be freely distributable. Another option, starting with Version 4, is ScriptMaster Advanced. This is priced at $95 per developer per year, and is also included as part of the 360Works Portfolio License bundle. It includes the following features that are not included in the free version:

The Advanced Edition will allow you to easily generate your own branded plugins. This greatly simplifies the process of deploying your favorite ScriptMaster modules with your solutions. Just check which modules you want and click the 'Make Plugin' button, and you've got a plugin with all of your favorite modules pre-compiled into it! You can distribute this self-contained plugin royalty-free with all of your custom solutions; there is no charge regardless of how many customers / users you distribute it to.
The Advanced Edition allows direct access to the FileMaker clipboard, allowing you to read clipboard contents at runtime. You can even modify the clipboard items and then push the modified versions back onto the clipboard!
The Advanced Edition allows direct access to the FileMaker SQL engine, which allows you to execute SQL commands directly from any script.

Again, thank you for using ScriptMaster. You can download the new ScriptMaster 4 or purchase ScriptMaster 4 Advanced from our website using the link below.

Interview posted with Jesse Barnum of 360Works

Jesse Barnum of 360Works receives FileMaker Excellence Award

2009-08-18T20:09:32Z

At the 2009 FileMaker Developer Conference, I was surprised and honored to receive the FileMaker Excellence Award for Outstanding Contribution to the FileMaker Community.

Thank you to all of my friends in the FileMaker community! This really means a lot to me, and it has been exciting to meet everybody at the developer group meetings. DevCon 2009 rocked (I wish I could say that I rocked too, but those of you who saw me 'sing' at the Jam Session know otherwise), and I'll see you next year at DevCon 2010.

360Works SafetyNet Released - Automatic FileMaker Server Offsite Backups

2009-07-30T20:10:00Z

360Works SafetyNet has been released!

SafetyNet makes it easy to set up remote backup routines for FileMaker Server administrators. Files are stored on Amazon’s “cloud-based” online file storage service, which runs on the same reliable and fast infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites.

Once installed as a plugin on a FileMaker Server, SafetyNet watches for changes to the scheduled backup sets. When new files are detected, SafetyNet automatically compresses and transfers the latest backups to Amazon’s secure off-site digital storage facilities using SSL encryption. As with any effective, reliable backup solutions, SafetyNet requires no user intervention after the initial setup. It works automatically to guarantee that the latest versions of users’ files are safely stored on a remote server, and will e-mail the administrator in the event of a backup failure (and optionally, on backup success).

Download SafetyNet right now at http://360works.com/filemaker-offsite-backup/

360Works Web Services Manager Released

2009-06-25T20:44:10Z

We have released version 1.0 of our new product, the 360Works Web Services Manager. This application exposes your FileMaker scripts as SOAP web services, allowing you to integrate your FileMaker database with other SOAP-compatible software solutions. The web services published by the 360Works Web Services Manager are indistinguishable from any other SOAP server, meaning you can pull and push information to your FileMaker database from otherwise incompatible software solutions. Read more about this on the Web Services Manager product page. http://360works.com/web-services-manager/

DevCon 2009 early registration

2009-06-19T15:31:07Z

DevCon reminder - we're hoping to see you at DevCon 2009 in San Francisco. There's still one more week to get the early registration pricing (discount ends June 26th). If you've been before, you know how much fun and information gets packed into 3 and a half days. If you haven't then this is pretty much the one must-attend event of the year for any professional FileMaker developer.

I'll be doing two official sessions: "Backup strategies for FileMaker Server" on Friday at 1:30 and "XML Web Services with FileMaker Pro" on Saturday at 9 am.

I'll also be doing participating in two discussion panels: "Using FileMaker in the Enterprise", and "Doing Business in the FileMaker Market." The second one is going to be a discussion panel with Kirk Bowman, Molly Connolly, Matt Navarre, and Jonathan Stark.

Last but not least, just to ensure that we'll get no sleep for those 3 days, we'll be exhibiting our 360Works products in the exhibitor showcase area - so this is definitely going to be a busy DevCon for us.

See you in San Francisco!

ScriptMaster 3.0 Released

2009-06-12T15:52:20Z

What's new in ScriptMaster 3?

ScriptMaster 3 no longer requires you to manually install a plugin! Using 360Works' Auto Update server, the plugin will be automatically installed upon launch, making it even easier to integrate ScriptMaster and its modules into your own solution.

Version 3 includes the following new modules:

QuickTime Frame Capture - Capture a snapshot from an iSight camera or any other QuickTime-compatible video input
Create AES Secret Key - Generates a secure key that can be used with the next 2 functions
EncryptAES / DecryptAES - Uses the Rijndael AES encryption algorithm to encrypt data adhering to US Government standards to protect classified information
Crop Image - Crops an image to specified coordinates
Popup Menu - Takes a return-separated list of menu choices; returns the user's choice as the function result
Zip File - Creates a .zip archive of a file or directory
URLDecode - Compliments FileMaker's built-in GetAsURLEncoded function
List All Files Recursively - Lists all files in a directory, including subdirectories
Get File Size - Gets the size, in bytes, of a file on disk
Get File Modification Date - Gets the date that a file was modified
Better Random - Handles issues with FileMaker's built-in random number generator
Validate XML - Performs a syntax check on an XML text to see whether it is well-formed

We've focused on making ScriptMaster 3 easier to use than previous version. The new version includes re-written documentation and a video tutorial which makes it faster than ever for developers to get started with ScriptMaster and enhance their FileMaker functionality. We have also completely redesigned the user interface with help from Matt Petrowsky for a cleaner look and better navigation.

SuperContainer 2.27 Thumbnail generation fix, less clutter

2009-02-13T17:43:14Z

Version 2.27 (2/13/2009)

We’ve changed the default behavior a bit, and now hide the "delete" button by default - use the style=showdelete if you want the old behavior back. If you don’t specify a showdelete or nodelete style, the default behavior is to hide the Delete button, but still allow deletion using the right-click contextual menu in the applet. This is more like the default behavior of containers in FileMaker, and looks a lot cleaner.

This version also adds a fix for Tomcat not being able to generate thumbnails on some machines. This only affected tomcat deployments, not standalone versions.

Regex Plugin supports multiline operators

2009-02-13T15:03:53Z

The 360Works Patterns plugin has been updated to version 1.6, this release includes multiline regular expression support, which means you can use the ^ and $ operators in your regular expression patterns.

So for example, to filter a return-separated list to only contain values containing numeric data, use the following:

regexMatchAll(text ; “^.*[0-9].*$”);

If the value of text is

one
two
thr3e
three
four
f1ve
s1x
se7en
seven
eight
nine
ten

The result would be

thr3e
f1ve
s1x
se7en

Sure is a lot simpler than a filemaker looping script or recursive function! Find out more at http://360works.com/regular-expressions-plugin/

Sneak peek of new 360Works Messenger plugin released to Portfolio License holders

2009-02-05T16:22:38Z

We're pleased to announce a pre-release version of 360Works Messenger, exclusively for Portfolio License holders.

360Works Messenger is an instant messaging plugin that supports AOL IM, ICQ, and SMS text messages. The plugin enables FileMaker to send notifications to and from multiple IM accounts.

There are three ways you can deploy the plugin:

With FileMaker Pro - 360Works Messenger can be used from any script which needs to send notifications about events. To help you get started, Messenger even comes with a functional IM notification system built in FileMaker Pro, resembling a traditional IM client.

With FileMaker Server - use in scheduled scripts, which allows for monitoring and notification at regular intervals. This is great for instantly notifying users of events and updates in the database.

With Web Publishing Engine - imagine receiving instant message notifications when your client updates status information on your IWP/CWP website.

To access this and other preview and unreleased software, go to http://wo.360works.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/360Store.woa/ and enter your Portfolio registration key. Once 360Works Messenger is released, it will be included in the Portfolio License and available for sale to everybody.

SuperContainer 2.25 performance boost, improved save dialog

2009-02-03T12:49:15Z

SuperContainer 2.25 adds an improved client-side caching algorithm which improves the performance of the SuperContainer applet. In addition, we’ve improved the “save” dialog in the applet view, making it easier to navigate to a directory to save files.

This release also includes a fix for auto-opening downloaded directories on windows, previously this would display an error on some windows systems.

Get SuperContainer at http://www.360works.com/supercontainer/

ScriptMaster 2.07 adds getAsContainer() function

2009-02-01T16:56:53Z

Version 2.07 of ScriptMaster adds a new function, getAsContainer, which allows you to return any InputStream from Groovy/Java as container data to FileMaker.

The example that comes with the development file shows how you could concatenate multiple files into a single container field result, using a SequenceInputStream.

You could also use this, for example, to have more control over URL connections - for example, setting custom authentication settings or cookies, and then returning the InputStream from the URLConnection.

Specify “MD5” as the second parameter, and the SCGetInfo function will return the MD5 hash of the file on the server. This serves as a unique signature of the file, and can be used to track duplicate file uploads, or verify the integrity of files. Read all about MD5 on Wikipedia.

360Works SuperContainer 1.85 update announcement

2008-02-07T22:14:44Z

360Works is pleased to announce a new version of its 360Works SuperContainer!

New in this version:

Version 1.85 (2/6/2008)

Server: Better cross-platform support for displaying correctly sized images when SuperContainer cannot create a thumbnail.
Plugin: Improvements to speed and stability when downloading files from SuperContainer to the local machine via the plugin.
Plugin: Downloading PDF files from a server which is using OS X Core Imaging displays an image if max width or height is specified (this means you can now view PDF thumbnails in portals).

Version 1.841 (2/6/2008)

Changes to Mac-only image resizer with OS X Core Imaging - continues to use this, even if one image does not work

Version 1.84 (2/5/2008)

Fixes to how file paths are converted between the FileMaker path format (includes volume name) and OS X format (does not include volume name)
Fix bug when uploading large number of files with SCSetContainer - previously froze up after about 300 uploads.

Version 1.83 (2/4/2008)

Better handling of gigantic file sizes; now returns original unresized file to browser without running out of memory

Version 1.82 (1/29/2008)

Now embeds a max-width css attribute into the img tag, even if it cannot resize the image. This means that it will display correctly in your browser / web viewer, although you are downloading the full size image and then it is being shrunk down in the browser.
Fixed a problem where SCGetContainer plugin function could return this error: "Can't start the AWT because Java was started on the first thread"
Fixed some memory leaks in the companion plugin; could cause excessive memory useage when used thousands of times.
Better error reporting
