maverik_uk Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Many of my solutions can have 50-100 layouts. The constant scrolling in the layout dripdown menu can be painful. Please can we have groups/folders to hold multiple layouts? Thanking FM in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjaeger Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 prefix your layout names in a consitant manner, click on the layout submenu and type some letters will jump to the right category. exp - Export Addresses inp - Input Names inp - Input Companies prn - Print All Data prn - Print Details with Subssummary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldfogey Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 What am I missing? It only uses the first letter I type. I use genx's solution, which is great. Try searching on 'manylayoutnav'. (Sorry, I've been too slack to learn how to include a link to a thread.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I have wanted a place to comment a layout for years. Something that I can leave in place and that isn't seen in browse mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabriceN Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) The web viewer is made for you Instead of a URL, just type a comment like : // this layout has dozens of hidden tab panels, 1x1 pixel unstored calculation fields and a couple of mysterious portals to hide objects, because FileMaker still doesn't allow control over object attributes.

fabriceN Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 To find a layout or a TO, you can also use this little script (needs a global field) FindLayout.fp7.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I have to try this, but I would think that another "object" on my layout would affect window resizing in browse mode. It's not truly "hidden". I'd take a comment box in Layout Setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabriceN Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Sorry, I have no way to add a text box in the Layout Setup window, but the nice thing with the web viewer is that it can hold as much data as you want and be as small as you want. Give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcooney Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I will certainly check it out, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
