Victoria, Canada - Late Night Software Ltd. has released Script Debugger 7, the latest version of its award-winning AppleScript development software. The upgrade introduces Script Debugger Lite, several new features and a raft of other tweaks and improvements, making it even easier to take full advantage of AppleScript.

Script Debugger is an integrated development environment focused entirely on AppleScript. This highly specific focus allows it to deliver a suite of tools that make AppleScript development amazingly productive. You can use it to write and edit code, analyze target applications, debug scripts, and more.

AppleScript is a venerable and proven scripting language for automating tasks on the Macintosh. It uses terminology that is similar to common English words, and is relatively easy to learn in comparison to other scripting languages. But it is also an object-oriented language that is fully capable of handling complex programming tasks when necessary. AppleScript creates script files that can control your computer and its various applications. It can be used to automate repetitive and error-prone manual tasks, saving both time and money.

The biggest change in Script Developer 7 is the free "lite" mode, which offers all the basic editing, debugging and dictionary functions that you need to write your code. Even without Script Debugger's advanced features, it represents a significant improvement over the Apple's Script Editor which comes with your Macintosh. We see Script Debugger Lite as the best free option available for working with AppleScript.

Other new features in Script Debugger 7 include document version browsing where you can retrieve past versions of scripts, an improved bundle editor providing greater control over script applications, and the enhanced applet shell offering an improved UI and support for automatic software updates via Sparkle when deploying scripts as stand-alone applications.

"I can't imagine using AppleScript all of these years without Script Debugger. In fact, it has spoiled me. Script Debugger has paid for itself many times over. One of the great benefits is having a responsive team of developers at Late Night to help. There are so many features that I'm continually finding new functions to use, saving time and frustration. In short, having an editing environment for a small yet powerful language like AppleScript seems like a miracle for over 20 years now. Wow!" Ray Robertson @scriptsmatter

"If you use AppleScript at all you should download this. Even if all you do is use the free version instead of Script Editor." Jason Snell @jsnell

Script Debugger has a 20+ year history, and during that time has been widely recognized for its excellence as an AppleScript development environment. In 2000, Script Debugger 2.0 was honoured with a MacWorld Editors Choice award for Best Development Software. Script Debugger 3.0 was nominated for the 2002 MacUser Award in the category of Utility and Enabling. Script Debugger has long been the go-to tool for professional and hobbyist AppleScript users alike, and Script Debugger 6 improves upon that heritage.

System Requirements:
* Script Debugger 7 requires macOS 10.11 (El Capitan) or later

Pricing and Availability:
Script Debugger 7 is available now, and retails for $99.99 (USD), with upgrades from Script Debugger 6 for $49.99 (USD). For more information, please contact Mark Alldritt.

FmPro Migrator 8.48 Creates FileMaker 16 Custom Apps from Visual FoxPro

A new article has been published at prMac.

FmPro Migrator 8.48 Creates FileMaker 16 Custom Apps from Visual FoxPro - Published on 03/05/18

California based .com Solutions Inc. has released FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition 8.48. FmPro Migrator is a stand-alone application which quickly and accurately migrates FileMaker Pro databases to MySQL, Oracle, Access, SQL Server, Sybase, DB2, OpenBase and more. Version 8.48 has been enhanced to perform automated Visual FoxPro to FileMaker 16 conversions. FileMaker database files can be shared using FileMaker Server or FileMaker Cloud with macOS, Windows and IOS devices.

Fremont, California - .com Solutions Inc. has released FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition 8.48 with enhancements supporting the automated conversion from Microsoft Visual FoxPro to FileMaker Pro Advanced 16. This release supports FileMaker Pro Advanced 11 - 16 on macOS and Windows.

The Problem: Visual FoxPro has been discontinued by Microsoft for more than 10 years - and you need to upgrade to a supported custom app development platform.

The Solution: FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition 8.48 has been enhanced to perform automated Visual FoxPro to FileMaker 16 conversions.

FileMaker (an Apple subsidiary) is widely regarded as the leader in low code custom app development - supporting Windows, macOS, IOS and HTML5 deployment platforms. Converting legacy Microsoft Visual FoxPro applications to FileMaker 16 offers many advantages including:

* Cross platform compatibility - FileMaker solutions run directly on macOS, Windows and IOS devices. WebDirect serves FileMaker custom apps via HTML5 to all mobile and desktop platforms running a supported web browser. Visual FoxPro can only run on the Microsoft Windows operating system.

* Easier database sharing - FileMaker database files can be shared using FileMaker Server or FileMaker Cloud with macOS, Windows and IOS devices. WebDirect serves FileMaker database files via HTML5 to any device or platform using any supported web browser. Visual FoxPro can never run directly on this many platforms without major rewriting.

* Greatly enhanced file capacity - FileMaker supports a 7TB filesize compared with the anemic 2GB Visual FoxPro DBF filesize limit. If a DBF file ever exceeds the 2GB file size limit, it will immediately become corrupted.

* FileMaker Cloud Hosting - FileMaker Cloud is a version of FileMaker Server running on the AWS cloud infrastructure. FileMaker Cloud provides secure, reliable access to your custom apps using FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Go, and FileMaker WebDirect - all without the administrative hassle.

* Easier Development - Upgrading to FileMaker Pro 16 also offers developers the opportunity to take advantage of the latest design, development and security features included with FileMaker Pro Advanced 16 and FileMaker Server 16 and FileMaker Cloud 16 - including WebDirect capacity enhancements.

Pricing and Availability:
FmPro Migrator Developer Edition (8.48) is priced at $600 (USD) per developer, and is available immediately. A functional demo version of FmPro Migrator may be downloaded from .com Solutions online.

Output Factory Server for InDesign Improves Preflight Email Alerts - Published on 03/05/18

Zevrix Solutions announces Output Factory Server 2.0.12, a maintenance update to company's output workflow automation tool for Adobe InDesign. Output Factory automates printing and exporting from InDesign by processing files from hot folders. The app can serve unlimited users on a network and offers layer versioning, preflighting, single page export and more. The new version improves handling of email alerts triggered by preflight errors and addresses issues related to corrupted workflow files.

Toronto (ON), Canada - Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of Output Factory Server 2.0.12, a maintenance update to company's output automation software for Adobe InDesign. Output Factory Server automates InDesign production workflow by processing files from watched hot folders. The software offloads printing and exporting from InDesign to a central system leaving operator workstations free from the output process.

The new version improves the app's ability to send email notifications when preflight errors are detected in InDesign documents. The update addresses an issue in which notifications weren't sent if some advanced preflight options were selected. In addition, the new release automatically fixes malformed workflow files and improves import of workflows created with earlier versions of Output Factory Server.

"Output Factory Server is an extremely useful utility for a busy production facility or advertising agency", writes David Creamer in Layers magazine. "The setup process is simple and users experience is very straightforward. It can save lots of time - which equates to money."

Under the Output Factory Server workflow, production artists, prepress operators and designers simply copy InDesign jobs to hot folders that reside on a network. Users can create hot folders for different output targets such as hi-res PDF, large format printing, Flash files and so on. The software offers the following key features:

* Print and export InDesign files automatically from hot folders
* Supports print, PDF, PostScript, TIFF, EPUB and other formats
* Export as single pages
* Automatic email notifications
* Layer versioning
* Run custom scripts
* Variable output file names
* Automatic preflighting
* Output to multiple formats from a single hot folder

Pricing and Availability:
Output Factory Server can be purchased from Zevrix web site for $699.95 (USD), as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The upgrade to version 2 is $350 for the licensed users of Output Factory Server 1.x and BatchOutput Server. Output Factory Server requires macOS 10.7-10.13 and Adobe InDesign CS5-CC 2018.
