zippScript is a very powerful script triggering plug-in. You can use it to trigger scripts based on actions within the FileMaker user interface (your layouts). You can trigger scripts based on record creation or deletion, when you edit a record or exit a field.

[Extracted from the example file]

zippScript 2.0 adds powerful script triggering and script scheduling toolsto your programming toolbox.

With this plug-in you can:

• Perform a script when a field is modified
• Perform a script when a record is committed
• Perform a script when a field is displayed
• Perform a script when the mouse is over a field (FM8 and later)
• Schedule a script to be performed at some future time
• Call a script with a calculated name
  … and much more.

The original zippScript was one of the first FileMaker® Pro 7-native plug-ins to be released and the first free script-triggering plug-in to provide the critical ability of passing a parameter string to the triggered script.

zippScript 2.0 builds on this solid foundation by adding the ability to schedule a script to be triggered at some future time and adding functions to temporarily disable script triggering while performing scripted record updates.

zippScript 2.0 is compatible with FileMaker Pro 7 and later, and will run natively on Mac OS X (PPC), Mac OS X (Intel) and Windows. It is a drop-in replacement and upgrade for zippScript 1.1.

The FMCartProj plug-in converts geographical coordinates between diferent coordinate systems. Useful for;
• database solutions that you want to conect to GIS systems,
• to present your data with maps from different internet map providers as GoogleEarth (uses Decimal-degrees), or maybe a WMS map provider that uses UTM or NAD,
• to present your locations as a POI file (Point of Interest) to load into your GPS Navigator,
• to make KML-file export from your FileMaker database to present your data-set in GoogleEarth?
Maybe you collect a data-set from various sources with coordinates given in old and new systems or different zones. No problem with FMCartProj. Just fill in the north and east field, choose the in- and the out coordinate systems and the conversion is done in your next script step. FMCartProj plug-in makes it easy to switch between the coordinate systems you need for any purpose.
FMCartProj is based on the Open source Proj4 and made accessible for FileMaker developers so they can enhance their solutions with many new map oriented services.
The conversion accuracy between most coordinate systems varies between 0-0,7m.
The FMCartProj comes with installation packages for either or both Windows and Macintosh. An example file is also provided so it is easy to see how things are done, copy scripts and get going with your “filemaking”. http://www.naturkart.no/FMCartProjPlugin/FMCartProj%20Plug-in.html
