New Free App For FileMaker Developers - Makes Life Easier

[Genx]

FM Expression Editor - A new way of writing calculations. If you've ever wanted to write complex FileMaker calculations or wished you had the simple things in life like type ahead prediction and syntax coloring - This application is for you. FM Expression Editor simplifies editing of calculations, improves readability and decreases the amount of time calculations take to write.

It includes the following features:

- Syntax coloring (recognizes full set of FileMaker functions and add's extra color differentiation for comments, strings and numbers)

- Auto Complete (a custom auto complete tool - start typing the name of a function and use arrow keys or a mouse to select the function you're after)

- Syntax Hinting (tooltips provide hints for parameters that a function requires as you type it - forget about checking the help manual!)

- Sizable Stage (ever wish you could make that functions list a bit wider?)

- Function Search (type to filter the functions list - don't waste time looking through categories)

- DDR Support (optionally import table definitions for quick field insertion)

- Platform Agnostic (the application (which runs in adobe air) will perform equally well on both Windows and Mac)

- *Cached workspaces (the application will remember what you were doing the last time it was open and bring everything back up just the way you left it)

- *Tabs (let's you keep multiple calculations open at the same time and flick between them)

Best of all the unregistered version is completely free and not time limited.

You can view a demo video or download the trial here: http://www.filemakerdesign.com/expression

*Features are only available in the registered version

I was trying to find this "FM Expression Editor" but the web page seems to be dead.  Does anyone know where I can get a copy?

That thing is ancient by now; what is the problem that you are trying to solve?  Perhaps we can help you out with other things...
