A Better Finder Rename 11 Enters Beta Testing - Published on 07/01/19

publicspace today announces the beginning of the public beta testing phase for version 11 of A Better Finder Rename, their popular batch file renaming solution for macOS. A Better Finder Rename has long been the leading file, photo, video and music renaming utility on the Mac. The app is a sophisticated tool that caters for the full range of file renaming tasks encountered by the creative professional. Version 11 introduces file filters, improved presets handling and much more besides.

Canach, Luxembourg - publicspace is pleased to announce that the 11th generation of their batch file renaming solution for macOS has now entered the public beta testing stage, with a final version planned for the end of the summer. A Better Finder Rename has long been the most complete file renaming solution on the market and has transformed the tedious and time-consuming task of renaming multiple files into a simple matter of seconds for tens of thousands of creative professionals across the world. It is based on over twenty years of listening to our users and addressing their requirements to the best of our abilities.

A Better Finder Rename is a sophisticated tool that caters for the full range of file renaming tasks encountered by the modern creative professional. Its streamlined interface includes an instant preview feature that eliminates guess work and reduces error. The tool features capture time and date extraction (EXIF JPEG and most RAW formats) for digital photographers, ID3 tag extraction for music lovers, regular expression support, plain-text file import for renaming from databases and many other advanced features.

The renaming engine is capable of handling very large renaming jobs with ease and it meets file renaming challenges, such as file name conflicts, swaps and dependency cycles that other such tools leave unaddressed, head on. The renaming engine leverages all the latest macO technologies by using a 64-bit multi-threaded architecture based around the Core Data database system.

Version 11 introduces file filter actions that allow name changes to be selectively limited to files or folders meeting certain filtering criteria. This ability is backed with a wide selection of filtering criteria, instant interactive matching preview, full integration into the multi-step renaming interface, drag & drop re-organization, etc.

The new version also takes the Presets feature introduced in version 10 to the next level. Presets are now the preferred unit of automation, gain their own side bar from which they can be triggered, ordered, fine-tuned and shared. Presets can also be used to apply automated renaming steps by simply dragging the files that are to be renamed onto the closed application icon.

Version 11 also further enhances the tool's already considerable meta-data reading capabilities with support for new files types (especially video files) and a new caching and performance architecture.

Additional new features and quality of life improvements will delivered throughout the beta testing stage.

"A Better Finder Rename" is ideally suited for creative professionals, digital photographers, web masters, music collectors, audio specialists, users who need to transfer files from Windows or UNIX, as well as for all other Macintosh users who routinely deal with large numbers of files.

24U Software adds mobile payment terminals to Gonector

A new article has been published at prMac.

24U Software adds mobile payment terminals to Gonector - Published on 07/01/19

Longtime Czech-based developer, 24U Software today releases Gonector 1.2.2, a FileMaker plug-in that allows a native application for iPhone or iPad, built using the FileMaker iOS App SDK, to communicate directly with mobile hardware devices. The new version adds direct support for mobile payment terminals from Infinite Peripherals and Ingenico, making it possible to seamlessly integrate credit card payments processing directly to the custom app developed with the FileMaker platform.

Zvole, Czech Republic - 24U Software has released Gonector 1.2.2, a new version of the latest FileMaker plug-in designed specifically for mobile custom apps running on iPads and iPhones. The new version adds direct support for mobile payment terminals from Infinite Peripherals and Ingenico, making it possible to seamlessly integrate credit card payments processing directly to the custom app developed with the FileMaker platform.

About payment terminals:
Accepting credit card payments on the go has strict security requirements, which are even not the same on the east and west sides of the Atlantic ocean. Common approach is that the mobile sales person is equipped with a stand-alone payment terminal, so whatever amount they need to charge needs to be manually entered on the terminal's keyboard.

If the source of the data about the sale is a custom app running on an iPhone or iPad, the most convenient way to implement the payment process is to integrate the payment terminal directly with the app, so that the sales person does not have to re-type the payment amount to the terminal. The application also securely receives confirmation or denial of the payment, so it immediately and reliably knows, whether the payment was successful.

The payment terminal takes care of reading encrypted data from the customer's credit card. In Europe it also takes care of directly processing the payment transaction online with the credit card issuer. In North America the payment terminal can just provide the encrypted data to the custom app, which then uses payment processing service, such as Stripe, to actually process the payment transaction.

About Gonector:
Gonector is a FileMaker plug-in that allows a native application for iPhone or iPad to communicate directly with mobile hardware devices. Being able to interact with professional mobile devices enables you to use the FileMaker platform to create a POS, Inventory and lots of other heavy-duty mobile business apps with friendly, fast, and reliable user interface.

The plug-in already supports mobile receipt printers, RFID readers, barcode scanners, digital weighing scales, and even NFC reading built into iPhone 7 or newer, which does not require any additional hardware to work.

Since the mobile processing differs between North America and Europe, 24U has chosen one popular brand of payment terminals for each continent, Infinite Peripherals for North America, and Ingenico for Europe, and added support for their devices to the Gonector plug-in to allow such seamless integration for custom apps developed using the FileMaker platform.

Availability and Pricing of Gonector:
Licenses for Gonector start at $499 (USD) per app deployed to up to 20 users. License for Payment Terminals Edition of Gonector is available for $7,999 and includes implementation support for one type of payment terminal.
