[ANN] 2empowerFM Developer Assistant for Mac is out of Beta
Valley Village, CA, December 20, 2010 -- Dracoventions announces the
immediate availability of 2empowerFM Developer Assistant v2.5 for FileMaker
Pro. The plug-in has completed beta testing for Macintosh FileMaker,
includes an improved user interface, and now works when FileMaker is set to
any of its 10 standard languages.
Ralph, who attended the December FMDiSC meeting in Los Angeles, CA,
contacted Dracoventions to let them know that a demo of Developer Assistant
had been "met with gasps and intense interest". Ralph went on to say, "I
use this plugin all the time. I consider it one of the indispensable tools I
use when programming with Filemaker Pro. Can't live without it."
About Developer Assistant
Developer Assistant helps you:
- Find all scripts containing a search term. Individual scripts
automatically open to highlight the next line that matches a text or regular
expression search term. Searches may also be performed within a single
script.
- Find all database fields containing a search term. The search includes
not just field names, but auto-enter data, validation calculations, and any
other text associated with each field. This search is performed in the
"Manage Database" window and requires FileMaker Pro Advanced.
- Search in almost any list that appears in a FileMaker dialog, such as
lists of functions, layouts, watched expressions, and so on. The search
includes all columns in multi-column lists.
- Drag over part of a FileMaker calculation to highlight it and evaluate it
at the touch of a button. You can evaluate "Get(SystemPlatform)" instead of
looking it up in help, evaluate calculations in script steps as you debug
the script, test your calculations before the script is even run, and so on.
- If you instinctively press the Home or End key expecting the cursor to
move to the start or end of a line, Developer Assistant for Macintosh can
make those keys do what you expect.
Most of the features above require FileMaker 11 for Macintosh or FileMaker 8
or later for Windows.
Morgan Jones of One Part Harmony says, "The Developer Assistant is a
brilliant tool that has already saved me loads of time. And by allowing me
to quickly find every reference to a script, field, table, or layout, I am
much more confident that changes I make will not create bugs in my
production solutions."
