Troi Automatisering releases Troi Scout FM 1.0 for FileMaker Pro 8.5
New and revolutionary product lets you find selected text from any
Mac OS X application in your FileMaker Pro database with only a
keyboard shortcut!
March 12th, 2007, Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands--Troi
Automatisering today announced the availability of Troi Scout FM 1.0
for FileMaker Pro 8.5.
What is Troi Scout FM?
Troi Scout FM is our new and exciting utility for FileMaker Pro! With
Troi Scout FM you can select text in any Mac OS X application and
have Troi Scout FM find this text in your database with only a
keyboard shortcut.
This is not a plug-in!
The concept of Troi Scout FM might be at first a bit difficult to
grasp. It is different from our FileMaker plug-ins, in that it starts
from outside FileMaker Pro! You start by selecting some text, for
example a name in a document, and let Troi Scout FM find this text in
your database with only a keyboard shortcut. We have created a
QuickTime demo movie showing how it can be used.
Suggested Uses
Troi Scout FM is a tool to help you speed up finding the right data
in FileMaker Pro. It can open the FileMaker Pro application and
perform a script of your choice.
Troi Scout FM allows you for example to:
- select a name in a (Safari) web page and have it open your
FileMaker database and display the record of that name directly in
your own database
- select an invoice number quoted in an email from a customer and
open up the Invoices table, with the invoice showing.
- add any URL to your FileMaker database with an easy keyboard shortcut
- add a record if your selected text is not in the database
- and much more!
Features
Troi Scout FM has the following features:
- it adds extra menus to the Services menu of every application

- it can trigger any script you specify
- you can select the action by a menu or just a keyboard shortcut

Apple Mail, BBEdit, TextEdit, Preview (PDFs), Adobe Acrobat, iTunes,
XCode, and many others

- works with standard AppleScripts for easy customization

- the download comes with an easy installer, an example movie and

- Troi Scout FM (application only) is localized for English, German and Dutch
Peter Baanen, company president, states: "I'm very proud that we
could make this revolutionary tool available for FileMaker users. The
concept of the Services Menu may be a bit difficult to grasp, until
recently I didn't understand it either! But when you do, the
possibilities are amazing. With only a little customization of Troi
Scout FM you can have such fast and versatile access to your
FileMaker databases!"
