Prediction - FileMaker 9

[Genx]

I also really like the idea of more than one UNDO!! Lol, god they've taken their time there.

Yes but I took that as additional in the terms of "we have more info for ya" kind of thing rather than saying this is more stuff on top of what we already said. In the first article it mentions a lot of the features that were stated in this second article as well.

Oh well, I guess we will just have to wait.

P.S. Yes I am happy about the multiple Undos as well.

Hehehehe,

What's wrong with me? I'm 17 and I look forward to the next FileMaker release more than I do my birthday or Christmas.

Yes - automatic progress bars! And along the same lines, how about automatic row highlighting in list view - another thing that takes a lot of developer effort but should be built in and simple.

And one other thing that takes a LOT of work to set up and maintain is column header buttons to indicate sort status and direction. It SHOULD be simple - its already there in table view. Click the column header to sort by that column and the header is highlighted - click it again to toggle the sort direction.

Any thought on if leopard delay will delay fm 9. My thinking is fm usually updates after apple updates are released.

wishlist:

enable data driven scripting (scripting of scripts =) by having:

Perform Script by Calculation

Set Field by Calculation

Templatable Layouts (could have includable parts of some sort)- its a pain in the neck to go through layouts just to change the logo/font

Some of your stuff are the usual suspects, while others have been taken care of:

Wonder what you use Autoenter with the update feature for???

This can either be applescripted or done with this tool:
