Plug-Ins Compatibility
A lot has changed since the release of FileMaker Pro 4 Developer Edition, the first version of FileMaker supporting 3rd party plug-ins. FileMaker's support for plug-ins is being constantly expanded and enhanced. Unfortunately, this evolution also brings compatibility issues you might be concerned about. This page is supposed to give you an up-to-date overview listing which plug-in version best suits concrete FileMaker Pro version.
There is a brief summary of plug-in compatibilty.
Notes:
- *Version 1.0 of 24U SimpleCode Plug-In is called 24U Transcoding Plug-In
- 24U Preferences+Globals Plug-In is an old-style PowerPC plug-in. It will work on PowerPC Macs and Windows. For more info see paragraph below
There is a big step between FileMaker Pro 6 and 7. All plug-ins were rewritten and adjusted to a new environment. That means plug-in versions for FileMaker Pro 7 will not work in lower versions of FileMaker Pro. On the other hand old-style FM Pro 6 plug-ins will work on higher versions of FM Pro on PowerPC Macs. These plug-ins will work even on Intel-based Macs but only in FileMaker Pro PowerPC binary not in FileMaker Pro universal binary.
All plug-in versions compatible with FileMaker Pro 8.5 and above are universal binaries which work natively on both PowerPC and Intel Macs (except 24U Preferences+Globals Plug-In).
All plug-ins work on Mac OS X and Windows platforms. All plug-ins are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Copyright ©2007-2010 24U Software. All rights reserved.
