Just a short note letting you know the developers are out at DevCon
I do a lot of fiddling with layout designs for a lot of our different FileMaker projects, and there’s a few useful things I’ve learned, mostly by accident or by blundering around. If you don’t already know these, maybe it will save you some time…
Today FileMaker Inc. released FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Server 15. This is the first release since they announced a new annual release schedule last year, so presumably we’ll see FileMaker 16 approximately a year from now.
The protocol format is intended to open shared or local files but it also allows you to run scripts, pass parameters and set local variables.
Like many other FileMaker developers, I have gone through my fair share of plugins over the years of FM development. Some extend FM functions, some enhance the debugging process, while others are multipurpose tools for FM development.
One of the missing features in FileMaker is the ability to add portal headers that can both sort portals and easily display the ascending or descending sorted order.
