Hi everyone, Daniel (Weetbicks) here!
I'm excited to release a new version of Elemental SVG today which introduces a Pro tier to the tool.
If you haven't seen Elemental SVG before, it's a tool I developed especially for FileMaker developers who have for years been frustrated with SVG's - both the lack of them in FileMaker Pro, but also the incompatibility of most SVG's with FileMaker to properly display and render on buttons using style colours.
Over the last 6 months the tool has grown significantly to incorporate not just a full blown SVG editor, but also a comprehensive SVG icon library (now over 57,000 in total), as well as the complex conversion process to try and cater to EVERY type of SVG and make it FileMaker compatible.
I must stress that the main core of the tool is still free to use, this is adding extra power user features on top.
The Pro tier unlocks a number of new features for developers that I hope you will find useful. Features include:
-
Save icons from the icon library to your own personal favourites list.
-
Import your own custom SVG's from anywhere and have them always available from Elemental SVG.
-
A brand new macOS menubar application (more on this below).
-
Copy / Paste SVG's direct to a FileMaker Button or Button Bar for easy pasting into FileMaker.
-
Export SVG's in PNG format.
-
SVG Overlay Mode - combine multiple SVG's into a single SVG.
-
Lifetime access to all future Pro features.
macOS Helper Tool
The menubar helper is especially cool. Previously, a FileMaker downloadable version was required to copy SVG's to FileMaker buttons as a plug-in was required. The helper completely removes this requirement. It acts as a bridge, unlocking direct copy-to-button support on the web-based version of the tool.
In addition to that, the helper app gives you 1 click / shortcut key access to all your stored favourites which you can download direct (with FM conversion applied), open in elemental, or copy to a Button on the clipboard.
(Sorry windows users, no app for you yet but you can still download the FileMaker version for Copy to Button functionality).
Unlock the Pro Tier ($39 USD)
The Pro tier is a one-time only purchase of $39. No recurring subscriptions or fees, you have it for life.
I realise that some of you might not love seeing a paid tier introduced. However building tools like this takes considerable time, resource and effort. I have aimed to make this as affordable as possible for those who would like to purchase. This also helps continue the ongoing development of future Elemental products which I greatly appreciate.
Thank you, and again I appreciate your support. I'm fully committed to producing high quality tools that benefit FileMaker developers and help solve their problems - while prioritising good interface and user experience!
Cheers!
Daniel
