Layout list in more than one column?

[geekay46]

Hi there

I have a large database with in excess of 70 layouts. When I go to select a layout there is only one column shown with the necessity to scroll down to find the required layout, especially as the last one generated sits at the bottom. I know it is possible to re-order these but it seems that the one that I want is always off the page. Is there any way in which the layouts can be made to display over more than one column.

Thanks

No. Having more tools to manage layouts is on the wish list of every FM dev and hopefully the FM10 dev team's to do list.

That being said, you could build a layout navigation feature for yourself.

I feel your pain! One thing I do....

When I'm working on a particular layout, I'll go to "Layout->set layout order" and move the layout I'm working on to the top. When I'm done with it I'll move it on down the list. This way I don't have to wear out the down arrow button and my patients! FM9 fixed this problem with scripts. Hopefully FM10 will fix the layout problem as well. AND HOPEFULLY A SAVE BUTTON IN SCRIPTMAKER!! (Somebody fell asleep in that dept)
