Version 0.4a of bBox Now Available

Posted by Simon Brown Mon, 03 May 2010 19:19:00 GMT

A new version of our free FileMaker plug-in is now available. 

Changes in this version include:

  • Ruby function for executing scripts passed as a parameter or via a file path
  • Execute shell scripts with the Bash interpreter
  • Creation of Python global variables using the bBox_PythonSetVar function
  • Execute SQL queries against your FileMaker database

The plug-in is now compiled against the Mac OS 10.5 libraries. The main reason for this change was to allow use of a newer version of Python (2.5.4) for Python related calls. Because of this however, Mac OS 10.4 is no longer supported.

You can download the latest version at http://www.beezwax.net/download/bbox.

    Thanks, Simon!

    I’ve discovered some bugs in the bBox_Applescript function. If calling a handler parameter, you must supply the handler name and both parameters. Using “” is sufficient.

    There’s also an additional Unicode character encoding issue that can occur.

    Hope to have a fix released in a couple weeks for this.
