ExportFM description
ExportFM provides the developer full control over both external documents and container fields.
ExportFM provides the developer full control over both external documents and container fields. With ExportFM, you can import and export images, sounds, movies, and text to/from documents in their native file formats. A full suite of image editing functions is included. For example, you can create and export thumbnails, web-ready images, or preview mode screen shots. In addition to editing, importing, and exporting the content that FileMaker stores directly in container fields, ExportFM handles all media types stored by reference.
Here are some key features of "ExportFM":
· Crop, resize, and rotate images (GIF, JPEG, PICT, BMP, TIFF, etc.)
· Change the bit-depth, quality and resolution of images
· Dynamically insert media directly or by reference
· Export container field content (stored or by reference) to an external document whose name and location you control
· Extract the filepath and name of images stored by reference
· Move, rename, copy, delete, and open a file
· Get a list of all files and subfolders in a folder
· Get the filetype of a file
Four Reasons to use ExportFM:
Export FileMaker layouts in preview-mode exactly as they appear (with sub-summary parts, graphics, etc.) as an image file which can be attached to an email message or posted on a web site.
Export text from text or calculation fields to a text file (as a ".txt" or ".htm" file, or whatever), setting the name and location based on field values or by script.
Convert GIF, PICT, or BMP image types to JPEG with user specified parameters for size, bit depth, resolution, and quality -- enabling the creation of thumbnails suitable for web sites, or simply for the purpose of image manipulation.
Create fast, dynamically generated web pages from your database with the click of a button! The pages are all in straight HTML so no special web server is required -- pages can be indexed by any search engine and bookmarked by users.
