The option previously showed up in a more limited form for a few commands in version 0.97. This allows easy read-only references to a container field as a parameters. Container File ReferencesĪs a somewhat new feature, a number of bBox functions now support container reference substitution. The bBox demo file has a couple of examples that can be used as starting points. To get a better idea of what image types are supported use the following queries to find out the file types supported by the convert command (assuming all possible libraries are available), and what libraries are actually included with the version of GraphicsMagick being used: bBox_GraphicsMagick (0 "convert" "-list" "formats")ĭue to the number of file types and libraries involved, it can take some minor detective work to determine what’s available, so in most cases the best way to check is to test with some actual files, using any transformations you plan on using. For Linux, file type support will depend on what’s installed by apt or yum, and should have broader file type support. Currently however, the GraphicsMagick binary included with the macOS version of bBox is missing support for several file types. The sips command does have some limitations, in particular when resizing images, so for this reason we’ve also added a GraphicsMagick function, which is more widely known and has more transformation options compared to sips. Use the following to get a full list: bBox_Sips (0 "-format") Some of the file types fully supported are bmp, gif, PDF, PhotoShop, tiff and png. Sips can also be used to get metadata from image files. The command is based on macOS’s Core Image library, and because it can often leverage the GPU for transformations and run natively on Apple silicon, it will often give better performance than ImageMagick. The sips (Scriptable Image Processing System) command is not well known, perhaps in part because it is only available on macOS. Because of how the functions are invoked this can work even if using the Apple silicon version of FileMaker Pro or Server - just be sure that Rosetta has been installed first if using these functions. There are two exceptions to the Apple silicon support: the bBox_JQ and bBox_GraphicsMagick functions are still Intel only. The macOS version of bBox is now a “universal” binary, with both Intel and Apple silicon executables in the same plug-in file.
