[ANN] MBS Plugin 13.5 for Claris FileMaker - More than 7200 Functions In One 
Plugin

Nickenich, Germany - (November 7th, 2023) -- Monkeybread Software today is 
pleased to announce MBS Plugin 13.5 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 13.5 has been updated and now includes over 7200 different 
functions, and the versatile plugin has gained more new functions:


To help with JSON processing, we have JSON functions to search, replace and 
query. Use JSON.Query function for JSON Path queries and JSON.Replace to 
replace found values with new values. Use JSON.Search to perform JMESPath 
queries in FileMaker.

Our ListDialog functions can show check boxes in the dialog. Turn them on with 
ListDialog.SetShowCheckboxes function, mark a few rows a pre-checked before 
showing the dialog. When the dialog finished, you can query checked entries. 
Combine this feature with our filter field to find various items and check them 
all.

The DynaPDF library can create PDF/A documents in versions 4, 4e and 4f and we 
improved our DynaPDF.CheckConformance and DynaPDF.SetPDFVersion functions for 
this. For DynaPDF.SetGStateFlags we added the SkaleAnnotIcons flag and we added 
DynaPDF.CreateGeospatialMeasure function.

We added Phidget functions in the last version. We rewrote the script trigger 
handling to work better for events happening quickly. To clear an event 
trigger, please use Phidget.ClearScriptTrigger function.

For macOS we added a format button to calculation dialog. This takes the 
current formula, parses it and produces a new formatted version. Please try and 
report edge cases. You can use Command-Shift-F to go to the replace field for 
the find panel in a calculation. Press Command-Option-Shift-C to copy the 
current formula as html.

If you enjoy our URL recognition for Script Workspace on macOS, you can use 
goto: and field: URLs there. Clicking on the URL button for a goto: URL jumps 
to a line in the script while clicking on a script: URL jumps to a different 
script.

When checking variable names in the Script Workspace on macOS, you can declare 
new variables with a comment before a Let statement to tell our plugin about 
the new variables.

For Windows we have the Window.AddToTaskbar and Window.RemoveFromTaskbar 
functions to hide windows from the taskbar if needed. We improved the use of 
our WindowsOCR functions for server.

Since MacOS Sonoma introduces reactions for video recording, you can configure 
this via AVRecorder functions. When running on macOS 14 or iOS 17, your 
application can check for effect availability and beside gesture also run 
effects via script via AVRecorder.PerformEffectForReaction function.

We added a MongoDB Audit sample database to the examples. For linux we use the 
more secure libc functions. Use Matrix.Lookup to look for a value in a matrix 
with a fallback to a default value, use the Text.TextToHTML function to convert 
styled text to html including highlighted ranges and use XML.Import with new 
flags to skip UUID fields or ignore duplicate primary key errors. 

Finally we updated CURL library to version 8.4.0, DynaPDF to 4.0.80.232, SQLAPI 
to 5.2.6 and SQLite to 3.44.0 and Xcode to version 15.0.
