#BASEELEMENTS FILEMAKER PLUGIN RUNTIME MAC#
FileMaker Path Examples Mac : file:///Volumes/Clients/contacts.txt You can then adjust this path to suit whatever location you need, or to get an example of the difference between selecting a file on the desktop and running the Get ( DesktopFolder ) function. This will return an example of the sort of path used by the function. To get an example of the sorts of paths that the plugin uses, use the BE_SelectFile function in the Data Viewer, and choose a file with a known path. Windows : C:\Users\John Smith\Documents\test.xlsx Plugin Paths Examples Mac : /Users/John Smith/Documents/test.xlsx" So if you're mixing and matching FileMaker paths and plugin paths, you will need to convert them between the types in order to use them in other places. These file: prefixes that you get from things like the Get ( FilePath ) function and others, are unique to FileMaker and don't work anywhere else other than FileMaker itself, including not in the BE plugin. On the Mac, they usually start with /Volumes or /Users and on windows will be something like C:\Folder\Path.įileMaker paths often start with file: or filemac: and these WILL NOT work in the plugin. The paths used by the plugin are Operating System paths. Please note :įileMaker paths and plugin paths are not the same thing. Lots of the BE plugin functions use paths in the parameters or in values they return.
