As would be a better way of organising scripts and fields - think collapsible folders. Being able to work on scrips /manipulate field relating to one particular area of my database without having to trawl through the list would speed my work up considerably. |

But agree, more organising tools will help greatly.

I spend 80% of my time in Script Maker where I often have to use the application "Grab" on OS X to take a picture of a script because I need to add similar script steps to a different script. The highly educated design team at FileMaker gives me the ability to copy fields from 1 table to another (yes, I will use this) BUT where is copy & paste in scripts? |
regular FM8 upgrade), you can copy script steps both into the same FM
file and into a different one. I saw this in action last night at a user
group. But it's only in the Advanced version. That version also includes
two powerful debugging tools: Script Debugger and Data Viewer. If you're
building a complex FM solution for yourself or someone else, these
capabilities are very cool.
In fact, when I saw the additional features in 8 Advanced (adding
Tooltips, customizing menus and keyboard shortcuts, ability to make
runtime solutions) as well as some of the smaller things in 8 Regular
(drop-down value lists that work faster than snails, calendar-formatted
pop-ups, typing auto-complete and so on), I sprung for the Advanced
upgrade immediately.
I just wish FMI would fix some of the basics...like font kerning across
platforms, and taking advantage of platform-specific checkbox and radio
button appearance...

DOS was easy to use and worked too (at least until you tried to exceed
its limits. I don't miss it much either.
