We just released a maintenance update for our PrinterSwitch plug-in.

What's new in version 2.0.2 ?

More information is available on the PrinterSwitch product page.

We just released a new version 2.2 of our plug-in specifically for the Belgian market: eID & SIS. It is a plug-in that allows you to read data from the Belgian eID identity card or the Belgian SIS social security card directly into a FileMaker database.

More product info on the eID & SIS product page
A free demo version is available from our downloads page.
The product is available for purchase starting today. Upgrades for users of 1.x are free of charge.

PrinterSwitch "Capture & Restore", or the ability to store and later retrieve printer settings like page orientation, paper size and paper source, has been available on Windows since version 1.5.

The recently released PrinterSwitch 2.0 now offers these options on Mac OS X as well. In this article, we'll focus on how you can implement this.

We just released PrinterSwitch 2.0.1. This is mainly a bug fix update.

What's new ?

• Solves an issue where the "Print Setup" script step was not working properly
• Fixed bug with FileMaker 11 record selection dialog - when using capture and restore, you can now determine whether to print the "Current record" or "all "Records being browsed"" by using "Specify print options" in the "Print" script step. When using a restore, PrinterSwitch will only use the FileMaker record selection data defined in the "Specify print options" - all other (FileMaker 11) printer information will be ignored
• [Mac OS X] Fixed bug with manual printing and "Save as PDF". You can now create PDFs manually, even when PrinterSwitch has selected a printer. You can now even capture and restore "Save as PDF…", although the PDF name is not variable.
• [Windows] Solved privilege related issues on Windows 7, Vista and Server 2008.
• [Windows] Should no longer require changes to DEP settings

Download it here or select "Check for Updates" from the Clip Manager 3 menu.

In our previous blog posts, we looked at how you can share your clips via a shared folder on your local network, or via Subversion both locally or over the internet. But there's another easy way to share your clips with your fellow FileMaker buddies over the Internet, without any complex setup: enter Dropbox and SugarSync.
