If you use our plugins for running SQL commands (or some other plugin), this may be interesting for you:
Filemaker 11 changes a couple of things in the SQL engine.

If you show a website in a webviewer (Filemaker) or a htmlviewer (Real Studio), you can have a little problem. Some links in the web viewer may have target = _blank. This links now open in Safari (Mac) or Internet Explorer (Win) if the user clicks on a link. But you may not want that and prefer to keep the user inside your web viewer.
A solution is to change the target of the links by using our plugin and a little bit of javascript.
In
Filemaker you can do this:
MBS("WebView.RunJavaScript"; "browser"; "for (i = 0; i < document.links.length; i++)
{ if (document.links[i].target == '_blank') document.links[i].target = ''; }")
"browser" is the name of the web viewer control on your layout. Simply run it in a calculation like a script step for setting a variable.
In
Real Studio you go like this:
dim javascript as string = "for (i = 0; i < document.links.length; i++)
{ if (document.links[i].target == '_blank') document.links[i].target = ''; }"
if TargetWin32 then
call HTMLViewer1.IERunJavaScriptMBS javascript
elseif TargetMachO then
call HTMLViewer1.EvaluateJavaScriptMBS javascript
else
break // platform not supported
end if
As you see we call IERunJavaScriptMBS on Windows and EvaluateJavaScriptMBS on Mac.
We wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all our clients, partners and friends all over the world.
At least to the US Americans who celebrate it today.
In Canada it is mid in October and here in Germany on first Sunday in October.
New in this prerelease of the 2.5 plugins:
- Fixed a memory leak with GMImage.NewFromContainer.
- Fixed a memory leak with container JPEG functions.
- Fixed a few small memory leaks.
- Fixed a bug where GMImage.NewFromContainer did not read a container value, because there were two JPEG streams and the first one was empty.
- Fixed the error above for JPEG functions, too.
- Updated Screenshot functions for Mac OS X 10.7.

Documentation
We improved the
documentation. In the future the list of functions also show the first sentence of documentation so you can get an idea on what the function is about. Also we show whether it works on Mac and Windows.
Function selectors are now ignoring case
Not sure why we didn't do that before, but now all the function names are accepted in any case. So SystemInfo.ComputerName and Systeminfo.ComputerName are both valid. You'll see that change soon in 2.5 prerelease versions.
GMImage.Scale options
GMImage.Scale can do much more than you may think. You can use % for the geometry. If you don't specify height or width, the other value is calculated. With < or > you can specify that pictures should only be resized if they are smaller or bigger than the target size. We update documentation for this.
