ExifPlugIn - An Exif Plug-In for FileMaker
|
ExifPlugIn is a Plug-In for FileMaker which enables FileMaker users to access EXIF and IPTC Data created by a digital camera. It works with FileMaker 7 or higher on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X on Intel (requires 10.4 or higher). JPGs are accessible which are stored directly within FileMaker container fields (not when stored only as reference). IPTC data is not accessible for all pictures. |

The ExifPlugIn was
written in Common Lisp
using the LispWorks
development environment and the
great FM-PLUGIN-TOOLS
toolkit. Thanks to Edi Weitz'
phantastic toolkit I was able to create this plugin by editing
about twelve lines of lisp code and copying the rest from his
examples. Thanks to Zach Beane
for his
fine ZBF-EXIF
library

Unpack the ZIP archive. The
Windows PlugIn is ExifPlugIn.fmx. The Mac PlugIn
is ExifPlugIn.fmplugin. Put the appropriate file
into the Extensions
folder of FileMaker. Restart FileMaker.
If the plug-in isn't recognized on Windows (i.e. if it doesn't show
up in FileMaker's Preferences dialog), chances are good that
you are missing Microsoft's runtime library msvcr80.dll.
Most people will have it already as it is automatically installed by
many other applications, but if you don't, you can get it
from here.

A simple example FileMaker database which explains the usage of ExifPlugIn is included in the package.
