Solution Extras files for Mac OS solutions
The following table describes additional graphic import filters and
extensions that you can include with your runtime database solution
for Mac OS users.
Copy the Solution Extras folder and its contents from the Runtime
Files folder into the root level of your runtime database solution
folder. When the runtime application is started, the files inside the
Solution Extras folder are automatically copied into the appropriate
folders in the user’s System Folder.
Tip
You can add other folders and files to the Solution Extras folder
and they will be copied to the appropriate location in the System
Folder on the user’s hard disk. For example, include a Fonts folder
of special fonts for your solution in the Solution Extras folder, and
when the runtime application is started all fonts are copied into the
Fonts folder on the user’s hard disk.

The following table describes the FileMaker Extensions files you can
distribute with your runtime database solution for Mac OS. With
