Supercharged Imports with MBS: Ditch Insert File / Insert PDF / Insert Image Forever - Day 1

Tired of this? Tired of using cumbersome FileMaker Insert File / Insert PDF / Insert Picture steps in bloated, fragile scripts? Tired of not being able to import folders, or mix selected files and folders in a single selection? Tired of wrestling with file paths that break between macOS and Windows? Tired of having zero feedback—no real progress bar, no dialog, no idea what’s happening? Tired of feeling like your import workflow is stuck in 1984? Then this webinar is for you. Join Nick and learn how to build an app-grade Import Files/Folders system in FileMaker using the MBS Plugin—and completely replace the native Insert steps and their limitations. In this session, you’ll see how to: Use MBS to present a modern file/folder picker that lets users select multiple files and folders in one go. Import entire folder trees (with subfolders) and capture full paths, filenames, types, and metadata in clean records. Handle paths the right way across macOS and Windows without ugly hacks. Add a real progress dialog / “barber shop” progress bar so users know what’s happening. Wrap everything into a single, elegant import workflow that’s reusable across solutions. By the end, you’ll have a clear blueprint for turning your old “Insert File” scripts into a modern, MBS-powered import engine—and your users will feel like they just jumped from classic Mac to a real 2026 app.
