FileMaker Pro 6 Debuts At MacWorld Expo
Entire FileMaker line native for Mac OS X to be spotlighted
MACWORLD EXPO, NEW YORK – July 16, 2002 – FileMaker will unveil FileMaker
Pro 6 — its powerful new database software featuring easier-than-ever
templates and tools, and a virtually limitless ability to gather, manage
and share information — as MacWorld EXPO opens here today.
The FileMaker booth is # 731 in the Jacob Javitz Convention Center.
FileMaker will spotlight its entire product line, including FileMaker
Mobile 2, running on Mac OS X.
Expo attendees will learn how they can use FileMaker Pro 6 to easily import
large numbers of images from a folder into a database, and, on Mac OS X
only, capture digital images and image-data directly from cameras.
Simplifying the steps to add images extends the FileMaker lead in managing
multimedia, and enables even more creative databases.
With integrated XML (Extensible Markup Language) import and export,
FileMaker Pro 6 delivers the benefits of virtually limitless information
exchange. XML support means FileMaker can integrate and exchange data with
many applications, without complex, costly converting of data between
proprietary formats.
At the FileMaker booth, show-goers will also see the new templates for
business, education and home, which deliver “instant productivity.” Users
and developers of FileMaker databases will save time and be more creative
with new features like format painter and customizable dialogs.
Two FileMaker Solutions Alliance member solutions, taking advantage of many
of the new FileMaker Pro 6 features, will be highlighted in the FileMaker
booth:

for high-performance, high-demand digital photographers providing direct
