CNS Updates its “Pro Plugins” for FileMaker
Fort Worth, TX, October 25, 2005 — Comm-Unity Networking Systems announces
the immediate availability of new versions of its “Pro Plugins”: SMTPit
Pro, CNS Image, and CNS Menu. These versions include several core plug-in
bug fixes, as well as improvements for Windows users (including the ability
to print scripts without removing the plug-ins).
SMTPit Pro
SMTPit Pro is a next generation email plug-in for FileMaker Pro 7 and
greater. SMTPit Pro provides a vast array of email options. You can send
simple text based messages or you can send complex HTML messages. You can
send a single message or an entire mail out. Its functionality is flexible
enough to cover many email tasks.
Changes included in this 4.0.4 update are the following:
– Fixed a few bugs in the core plug-in code
– Fixed a bug that caused FileMaker to crash if the Default Headers and
Footers contained blank lines at the top
– Fixed a few bugs dealing with Mapped Network Drives on Windows
– Added the ability to use both Old and New Style functions at the same
time to ease migration woes from old SMTPit calls to new SMTPit Pro calls
– Offers better compatibility with FileMaker on Windows (including a fix
for the crash when trying to print scripts)
CNS Image
CNS Image can import images into container fields and export images from
container fields. What the plug-in can do with images while in FileMaker is
where it gets interesting.
Changes included in this 1.0.4 update are the following:
– Fixed a few bugs in the core plug-in code
– Offers better compatibility with FileMaker on Windows (including a fix
for the crash when trying to print scripts)
CNS Menu
CNS Menu allows you to place hierarchal menus anywhere on a FileMaker
layout. When a menu item is chosen, the script of your choice in the
database of your choice is performed. Menus can have any number of sub
menus and can be displayed with a variety of styles and bullet marks.
Creating menus with CNS Menu can be as easy as handing the plug-in a return
delimited string of menu items to display. Your menu items can have a
display name, and a value that can be used in your scripts, so the end user
can see useful information such as a customer name while the value can be a
Customer ID number.
Changes included in this 1.0.3 update are the following:
– Fixed a few bugs in the core plug-in code
– Fixed problems with displaying Unicode characters in the menus
– Added code to work with slashes in Menu Item Names (you can now “escape”
slashes by typing them twice)
– Menu Item Names can now start with a negative sign and not be converted
to a separator (for example, negative numbers)
– Fixed a display bug on Windows with Menu Item Names that contained
Ampersands
– Added the ability to use both Old and New Style functions at the same
time to ease migration woes from old SCRIPTit calls to new CNS Menu calls
– Offers better compatibility with FileMaker on Windows (including a fix
for the crash when trying to print scripts)
