We just released an update to our DoSQL plug-in.
We added a couple of new functions:
DoSQL_LastErrNum, DoSQL_LastResult and DoSQL_LastSQL are three new functions that will make it easier to add improved error trapping to your DoSQL solutions
We added a "VersionAutoUpdate" function that was recently agreed upon by a group of FileMaker plug-in developers - the purpose of this function is to provide a unified way to use FMS AutoUpdate in your solutions.
More information about DoSQL is available on the product page.
Download the latest update here.

We just released a maintenance update for our PrinterSwitch plug-in.
Version 1.7.2 fixes a Windows-only issue: it was reported that on some rare Windows XP installations the plug-in could cause a crash at FileMaker startup. The issue has been fixed in this release.

We sometimes get requests from customers to implement drag-and-drop in our solutions, for selecting certain records, e.g. you want to select a nice beer and add it to you order. This week's example shows a simple technique to use drag-and-drop functionality to select a record and drag it to another record to create a link between them.
Drag-n-drop with FileMaker
The first thing you have to do is to give the images in the container the same name as the id for the record. So for record 1 we are going to store a picture with 1.png in the container field, for record 2, 2.png etc ...
Now we can use simple auto enter functions, to get the id from of the name of the container data.
Download the example file here.
