innodes Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Is there any type of tool that can identify whether or not a layout is in use? I need to clean up the database and would like to remove unused layouts but not break anything in the process. The DDR provides this type of information for scripts (used in layout, used in script), but not for layouts. Is there an easier way to do this than digging though the database piece by piece?

David Jondreau Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 FMNexus has a product called Inspector that I find invaluable in situations like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innodes Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 I was able to find that tool, and it does look great, but our budget cannot foot $400 right now. Is there any way to do this other than just painfully digging? Does anyone have any tips or tricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 The data report in FMP Advanced is a good start. It will list what scripts the layout is used in, amongst other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innodes Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yes, thanks. I have used that tool and it was a huge help for cleaning out the scripts. I just wish it also identified the layouts in a similar way, ie, where used and where referenced. I was hoping there was either a technique or something out there to do that as well.

David Jondreau Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 You must not have dug around too much. There is a free version called Inspector Lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innodes Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 OK, I dug deeper for lite, and found a web page. http://fmnexus.com/InspectorLite.html The download link sends you back to the Inspector page. The only thing that looks free is the "demo". It is full, and only 14days live. There is no Lite version mentioned. Do you have a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRetta Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Well, I found a link InspectorLite and it brings up a webpage. But when I click on the link 'download InspectorLite', it drops me on the FileMaker website which lists solutions. And I can't find it there at all. All I can find on the FMNexus website is Inspector2 which isn't free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innodes Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 I just got the official skinny from fmnexus that it is no longer available. If it is legal, does anyone have an old copy they'd be willing to share? I probably shouldn't have asked that, eh? but . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
