Swap this with that in the entire file

January 10, 20205 yr

I would like to swap object/layout/variable/etc names in a solution, except for the data itself. Ie Layout names, variable names, scripts etc.

Since this isn't possible in Filemaker by itself, is there a plugin or other solution that does this?

Example:

I have 100 layouts containing the word Saturnus. I want the word Jupiter instead.
I have a variable all over the solution called $pluto and would like to rename it to $earth.

...in all scripts, etc so nothing is broken.

🤔

The 2empower Dev Assistant plugin can do the variable renaming for sure. Perhaps the MBS plugin can too. Not sure about layouts.

Thanks Wim! Will take a look at that one (which is here btw: https://www.dracoventions.com/products/2empowerFM/family/developer.php)
