![]() There is not release date, which seems to me that there is not going to be MMagic for FM7-9.Īll your comments and in-depth analysis on this kind of tools are very appreciated. It seems New Millenium is not going to update the tool and as you can see in It seems to me difficult to distinguish the trivial (the noise) from the essential. It has been unpleasant to use and I am not comfortable with. It had a few quirks and some imports toke forever but useful. I have used it (up to v.3.6) and was satisfactory for prior FM 7 files. I identified all problems of the files and used extra functions to evaluate the funcionality and need of fields, relationships, layouts et al. ![]() It is a rock and the info accurate and really fast, compared with Analyzer. FileMaker 19 and the open platform This release is a big one in terms of the changes and direction in the platform, and the deeper integration of JavaScript and the Data API into FileMaker Pro client is going to be massive. Also for making transitions f to v7+ files. As always we are hot on the heels of the FileMaker Pro 19 release to announce a new version of BaseElements, v 19.0b1. I found MetadataMagic unvaluable for analyzing the FP5 files. Thanks for commenting your experience with BaseElements. I already purchased and wrote about FMdiff and recommend it to the skies for those who need a near instantaneous way of comparing two filemaker files. My next experiment will be to try out the compare file capability introduced in version 1.6 that lets you compare one version of a solution with another. I don’t really need to export, but creating a simple custom report layout will give me what I need. I happened to try creating a new layout and voilá all the related tables within the PrivilegeSets table were there for my choosing. What fields could they not see? That seemed to require getting down to a lower level of granularity but there was no tab for that. ![]() It wasn’t obvious how to do this because all I could see was a privilegeset record with some tabs, one of which showed each table in a portal with things like whether you could create, edit or delete records in that table given the current privilegeset. I was trying to get all the table and field access details of the 16 privilegesets in Studio Manager into records so I could print them out as documentation and use them as a reference without having to go into Manage Accounts & Privileges. The solution is pretty open but where it is really wide-open is when you create new layouts. I’m enjoying having this tool very much but I found it even more valuable after making a discovery. I need all the help I can get to document my solutions, check them for errors and find my way around my solution when I’m building new features or debugging something that’s not working the way I want.īaseElements takes the XML in the DDR and puts it into nice little FileMaker records where we can see exactly what is going on and get to the heart of the matter in a hurry. I purchased BaseElements from Goya in mid December and it is a must have tool from my perspective as a FileMaker developer. ![]()
