I have a need to detect when a screen “stops changing” and that time will then be considered “done”. So first, the flashing is every 1 seconds, so if we average out frames in 2 seconds and use that “rolling averaged” frame vs. the subsequent rolling average (so 1 averaged frame later) and do some […]
An insert from URL or fetch from URL allows filemaker to hit a rest-ful service apparently since FM 2103. Here are some things you need to know don’t pre-encode anything but & and = (and %) json? Well – stick with xml if possible a FM talk about importing with post. It, under the hood, […]
