Running plug-ins with FileMaker Pro 13

In general all our plug-ins that worked with FileMaker Pro 11 and FileMaker Pro 12 still work with FileMaker Pro 13. See below for the details on specific plug-in versions.

Running plug-ins with FileMaker Pro 13 and Mac OS X

FileMaker Pro 13 for Mac OS X can only run on Intel Macs. All current Troi Plug-ins are Universal versions, which can run on both Intel and PowerPC Macs. Of course on PowerPC our plug-ins will only run under older versions of FileMaker Pro.

64-bit plug-ins are needed for FileMaker Server 13

FileMaker Server 13 and WebDirect are 64-bit processes, for which plug-ins need to be compiled for 64-bit. On Windows, 64-bit plug-ins have a different extension: fmx64. In the download of a 64-bit compatible plug-in you will find this extra copy of the plug-in. Plug-ins for Mac OS X can be universal and the extension is always the same: fmplugin. A universal plug-in is a single plug-in that will run on a 32-bit process as well as on 64-bit process. You can not easily see if a OS X plug-in is 64-bit compatible. We have created a simple dropper app called 'Troi Architecture Check' to determine for which architectures a plug-in is compiled. You can download the app here.
At the moment Troi Activator Plug-in v3.5.2, Troi File Plug-in 7.5.1 and Troi URL Plug-in 4.0 are 64-bit compatible: they will run with FileMaker Server 13 and WebDirect on both Mac OS X and Windows. Please note that running on FileMaker Server 13 and WebDirect Troi Activator can only send messages, not receive them.
We are working on updates for our other plug-ins to work with FileMaker Server 13 and WebDirect.

The same plug-in architecture

The plug-in architecture has not changed in FileMaker 13. So there is no need to change any function calls when converting to FileMaker 13 (as compared to the change in plug-in architecture introduced in FileMaker Pro 7).

Simple plug-in updating

Plug-in updating has been simplified in FileMaker Pro 12 and 13. You now store plug-ins in solution files and install updates from container fields. The Auto Update plug-in is no longer needed. All new versions of Troi plug-ins provide an example file to demonstrate this update process in FileMaker Pro 12 and 13.
NOTE We have already prepared most of our plug-ins for this improved updating process. However, some of our plug-ins still need to be updated to reflect the correct version number (they return 1.0 instead of the real version number). See the table below.

Location of installed plug-ins

When you make use of the new plug-in updating functionality the plug-ins will be installed in the same location as with auto-updated plug-ins from FileMaker Server 9 through 11:

• Windows XP:
  C:Document SettingsUser NameLocal SettingsApplication DataFileMakerExtensions
• Windows Vista, Windows 7 and 8:
  C:UsersUser NameAppDataLocalFileMakerExtensions
• Mac OS X:
  Macintosh HD:Users:User Name:Library:Application Support:FileMaker:Extensions

TIP If you use auto-update ànd install plug-ins manually: it is best to only install plug-ins in the folders above and no longer use the Extensions folder next to the FileMaker Pro application itself.

Overview of Troi Plug-ins for FileMaker Pro 13

Here is an overview of all our plug-ins that are native and have been tested to work with FileMaker Pro 13 (and also FileMaker Pro 12 and 11).

* This is the first version that was tested with FileMaker Pro 13

Other older FileMaker Pro compatibility pages

The web pages with information regarding compatibility of all our plug-ins with other FileMaker versions are still available:

• FileMaker Pro 13 compatibility (this page)

Some FileMaker developers, myself included, were disappointed that FileMaker Inc., did not alter the colour scheme of the new icon for FileMaker Pro 13. As a developer, I keep usually keep the last few versions of FileMaker Pro active on my drive. Lined up in my dock, I can’t tell which is FileMaker 12 and which is FileMaker 13 based on their icons. I also have this issue when I use Command Tab (Control Tab on Windows) to move back and forth between programs.

Now, thanks to Jamey Key of Jack Key Auto Transport, Inc., Dallas Texas, you can change your file icon with this alternatively coloured png file. Here is a link to the Photoshop file, if you don’t like Jamey’s colour scheme you can edit it with your own colour scheme. Personally, I kind of like the green blue combo he came up with, but now you can alter it to your heart’s content. Thanks Jamey!

2014-01-20 Update: Even better choices for icons from Herrfriedrich.com

TL;DNR Version

• Mac: PNG Download or copy image, open in Preview, select, paste in Get Info box of FileMaker Pro (or Advanced)
• Windows: ICO Download, fiddle around.
• Tweakers: Photoshop Download, fiddle around.

The Problem – FileMaker Pro 12 and 13 Share the Same Icon

Result: Confusion for developers who work with more than one version on their system.

1. FileMaker 11
2. FileMaker 12 (or possibly FileMaker 13)
3. FileMaker 13 (or possibly FileMaker 12)

Same Issue on Windows 8

Windows developers will see the same problem. The screenshot above is from the Task Bar in Windows 8.

The Solution: A New Icon for FileMaker Pro 13

Too bright? Too garish? Not this year’s colours? It is distinctive however.

Macintosh users can replace the FileMaker Pro icon simply. Start by right clicking on the image above and select ‘Copy Image’.

Macintosh: ‘Get Info’ on FileMaker Pro 13 Application

1. Open the Applications folder on your Hard Drive,
2. Locate FileMaker Pro 13 or FileMaker Pro Advanced 13
3. Right click and select ‘Get Info’.
4. Click in the icon area at the top left and paste
5. Restart FileMaker Pro 13

Windows Icon Switching More Complicated

Changing icons in Windows is a little trickier. Applications (.EXE files) on Windows have an internal .ICO file that’s added by the developer of the application. You will need to use a .ico version of the icon.

Apparently, Windows XP has the same ability as on the Mac, you just paste in a new Icon, but with Windows Vista on onward, it became more convoluted.

If you create your own icon based on the Photoshop file, you can convert it to a .ico file for free at this web site: ConvertIcon.com Be sure to export in a number of sizes, as Windows 8 seems to need more than one size. I am not sure which, so I clicked them all.

Windows 8 Task Bar

I found help on this topic of changing Windows icons here .

Right Click on FileMaker Pro. This will bring up a popup with two items.

Right Click Again this time on the words ‘FileMaker Pro’

1. Right Click again on FileMaker Pro (or Advanced).
2. This should bring up a contextual menu with Properties. Click on Properties.

New Icon Displays

Looks good at this stage…

Ta Da! — Not

I ran through all the steps above and failed to make the icon change. Perhaps you will have better luck. Send me a comment or an email to let me know how it is done and I will include it here in an update.

Reverting to Regular FileMaker Icon

If you get tired of the new colour scheme, on the Macintosh, reverting is a simple matter, go back to the Get Info window, click on the icon and hit the delete key. The original icon will be restored. On Windows, simply unpin the icon from your Task Bar and repin it again. The technique described above was only altering the Short Cut icon, not the actual application icon.

FileMaker Pro 13 with a New Icon in the Dock

Anyway, back on the Mac, all is good and I am happy. One developer’s confusion is solved.

Addendum

Jamey notes: “I added some stuff to the Photoshop file in case you want a plain FileMaker Pro icon as well as the FileMaker Pro Advanced one above. Either use the first three layers or the fourth one. Also, if the icon is not lining up in the dock next to the pink 12 icon, you might consider opening it in Preview first and Select All and copying it. But when you do, make a square selection (mine is 521×521 and keep the open space at the top – see my screenshot). This has helped me keep the icons lined up horizontally better. You may have to experiment.”

2014-01-13 Update: Reader Jon Snyder reports:

Found a way to change the FileMaker Pro 13 icon on Windows 7.

1. Unpin existing shortcut from task bar
2. Copy ico to FileMaker folder in Program Files(x86) – this location may not be necessarily the only one.
3. Right-click the Desktop Shortcut for FileMaker Pro 13 (or create it) and select Properties.
4. Click Change Icon button
5. Browse to select “ico” file
6. New icon will display
7. Pin to Task Bar as a final step
