More and more powerful and comprehensive though FileMaker’s scripting process has become, the limitations of having to work in a rather clumsy and wholly closed editor analogous to AppleScript’s own proprietary editor have often frustrated those used to more flexible environments. The new IDE (Integrated Development Environment) will be a delight to experienced scripters and significantly speeds up the development process. Now the idea of a ‘Script Workspace’ allows developers to enjoy a dedicated, consolidated area in which to create, edit/debug and oversee scripts and calculations. There isn’t much that they can’t control, react to/detect and initiate. Scripts have long been one of FileMaker Pro’s most powerful tools. As well as a handful of focused major new features and a bevy of enhancements. Specifically, ease of design (for non-specialist designers) with the underlying technology of CSS 3 and HTML 5 are the chief new features in this version.

The changes in FileMaker Pro 14 are substantially geared towards supporting this transparency and building on the success of its introduction – essentially in version 13. Similarly, changes to data effected by a user/customer/client in one environment are reflected instantly any other(s) to which they (need) access.

Testing for this review resulted in flawless access to data on the variety of platforms on which the software now runs.įor instance, you can now begin to craft a button that might have a complex script (see below for a significant change in the Filemaker scripting environment) on your desktop installation break off and then see your changes reflected immediately on your iPad, iPhone or even iPod as well as – via WebDirect – in any of the major browsers in other locations. All involved now really can (continue their) work regardless of device, environment and operating system. Version 14 really does let users (and developers) of FileMaker pick up where they left off in all necessary operations – from retrieving data using simple queries to advanced development of fully-encapsulated solutions for distributed end-users. For developers the new Scripting environment is a major step forward.Īs Apple users know, transparent synching and sharing of data is not easy… duplicates, inconsistency of versions and records, reliable parallel updating can often occur as the result of ambitious aims in the notoriously difficult world of updating multiple-devices.
It really does go further in polishing and adding visual appeal to the way that Layouts can be built and made even more attractive. If you need a solution that’s independent of platform and device, streamlined, good to look at and work with, then you’ll probably overlook the absence of a mass of new functionality in Version 14. The fact that such integration works as well as it does should be a factor in deciding whether it’s worth paying for this latest version. FileMaker is to be congratulated on achieving a virtual platform for integrated database management – regardless of device. As the processes of flexible and sophisticated-looking data capture, management and presentation grow potentially ever more complex, users need accessible, open, yet powerful tools and environments on any/all of their platforms/environments (Mac desktop, web, phone, tablet, Windows).
#Bbedit 14 review update#
This latest update does not provide so many new features as some users might have expected given the same somewhat steep pricing structure as has applied in recent versions (new, upgrade and licensing). Now version 14 of the database and productivity suite, which runs on all major hardware platforms, mobile devices and the web, is available. It has millions of users, excellent 24 x 7 technical support and a vibrant and widespread network of consultancy and development specialists. FileMaker (which is celebrating its 30th year in business in 2015) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apple’s. When FileMaker Pro 13 appeared in the summer of 2013 we found it a good, stable and useful upgrade to the venerable database product family.
