A modern media surface
Browse container-heavy FileMaker solutions like a real media app.
FileMaker portals are excellent record tools. But photo-heavy systems need spatial browsing, fast previews, visual selection, and desktop-native interactions.
II
RCCPhotoGrid creates the visual surface.
A Photos-style grid gives users the browsing experience they expect from a modern desktop app.
III
Callbacks return control to your scripts.
Clicks, drops, previews, edits, exports, and selections flow back through FileMaker script callbacks.
Product tour
Edit photos inside FileMaker. Save changes back to the container.
RCCPhotoGrid includes a built-in photo editor for crop, rotate, flip, adjustments, copy, and paste. No custom editor UI. No export, edit, and import-back round trip.
Built-in photo editor
Edit without coding
Crop, rotate, flip, adjust, copy, and paste in the built-in editor.
Save Changes
Return the edited image payload to your FileMaker save script.
Back into container
Write directly to the container field. No export. No import back.
Grid browsing
Browse hundreds of container records with responsive thumbnails and clear visual selection.
Built-in photo editor
Crop, rotate, flip, adjust, copy, and paste without building your own editor UI.
Save to container
Save Changes returns the edited image so FileMaker can write it back into the container field.
No export round trip
Users do not export, edit somewhere else, and import back. The edit stays inside the FileMaker workflow.
Multi-selection
Keep selected IDs available to FileMaker scripts.
Drag and drop
Bring files in, then drag selected items back out.
Callback scripts
Route user actions through scripts you already control.
JSON loading
Load IDs, thumbnails, metadata, MIME hints, and state from your found set.
Platform-aware preview
Mac and Windows share the plugin API, with native preview behavior where supported.
Developer integration
Built around FileMaker realities.
Named objects, found sets, JSON, callbacks, windows, scripts, refresh, and cleanup. The visual layer feels native, but FileMaker stays in charge.
