ScriptMaster makes FM hang in Task Manager

January 7, 201016 yr

Hi All,

This is my first post, so be gentle -).

I am extremely excited about ScriptMaster and learning Groovy to write my own and customize what 360 offers 'out of the box'.

I looked (as I could) for a similar post, but I didn't see any. So I thought I would ask if anyone else was having the experience that when I call a ScriptMaster function (maybe it is the registering not the calling... chicken-egg?) that when I shut down FileMaker that I cannot open FileMaker again immediately. When I investigate the Task Manager that FileMaker is "hanging" there as a Process. Of course, this isn't much data, but that is why I am posting, since the aggregate experience on the web can confirm a trend quicker than my own observations (although I will continue to do that of course).

Anyone else encounter this? Any known solutions other than "End Process" in Task Manager?

I would usually now articulate the exact context of my experience but it would seem that the "Show FileMaker Profile" area does this for me? cool!

Thanks in advance.

Welcome!

Is the script that you are registering and calling something that you can post without IP issues? Posting the source would help determine what might be going on.

Hi Jamie,

Thanks so much for the reply.

I will try if I can... but first I will let you ask again, since I am only (at this time) using the "Copy" feature of ScriptMaster with scripts out of the box. Playing with the various send email and the popUp dialog and some basic file writing and deleting.

If you really want me to post the actual script I will, but anyone with ScriptMaster has the code.

Thanks again, and let me know.
