Customers have always asked us how to automate a job to say, a label printer, but select the standard office printer next time a user prints manually. 2empowerFM Hands-Free Printer v3.4 is the industry's first plug-in to let you do just that. Additionally, HFP has been updated to work on the upcoming OSX Yosemite release and all other plug-ins were verified as already Yosemite compatible. Licensing improvements and Developer Assistant fixes are also included in this release. This is a free update for anyone qualified to use the previous release.   Learn more...

Non-beta versions of all plug-ins have been released. A fix is included that fixes errors caused by pressing Esc while 2empowerFM Hands-Free Printer is automating printer dialogs. This is a free update for anyone qualified to use the previous release.   Learn more...

All plug-ins have been updated with 64-bit support so they can be run in FileMaker Server 13 and in Server 12's Custom Web Publishing engine. This is a free update for anyone qualified to use the previous release.   Learn more...

FileMaker 13 is here with over 50 new features, and all 2empowerFM plug-ins are now compatible. New plug-ins no longer show errors after updating using FileMaker 13's Install Plug-in File script step on Mac. Compatibility problems with Hands-Free Printer and Developer Assistant were also fixed. This is a free update for anyone qualified to use the previous release.   Learn more...

All plug-ins in this release allow licenses purchased over a year before the plug-in release date to be used if the release contains only minor new features or small fixes. Since OS X changed to a yearly release schedule, we found that too many people had to purchase a license upgrade almost yearly just to fix small things with each new OS X, so this should take care of that.

You'll also find a new, free, epFMNameID function that lets you pass a string containing the name of a script, field, table, layout, or value list in such a way that it can be safely renamed later.

Hands-Free Printer 3.1 now works correctly with faxes on mac and with the pre-release of OS X Mavericks. All other plug-ins were already compatible with Mavericks.

Menu Popper 3.1 and Dialog Master 2.43 now support indenting menu items and making them unclickable without turning them grey.   Learn more...
