NEW FILEMAKER PRO 16 WINDOWS
Have you noticed any other perks of the new Windows interface? Calvin Cooper is a FileMaker 15 Certified Developer at Skeleton Key. Overall, I think the changes to FileMaker Pro 16 on Windows are a welcome and much needed improvement. The Status Toolbar hotkey toggle is also very useful in this scenario. Using this script step or opening a new window without a menu bar selected will result in a window as seen below.
As well, there is a script step that was introduced in FileMaker 13 “called Show/Hide Menubar”. To toggle between vertical and horizontal part labels, simply control-click (Windows) or command-click (Mac) the part label.
In Layout Mode, the button that toggled between vertical and horizontal part labels has been removed. Notice that the menu commands for Zoom In and Zoom Out also have new keyboard shortcuts in FileMaker Pro 16.
NEW FILEMAKER PRO 16 MAC OS
On Mac OS Alt-Command-S will toggle the Status toolbar. On Windows using Control-Alt-S will toggle the Status Toolbar. Fortunately, FileMaker 16 now includes a keyboard shortcut for this toggle. If you are accustomed to using the status toolbar toggle… you may find yourself at a loss. This toolbar contained the zoom buttons, window mode selection and a toggle for the status toolbar. FileMaker 16 has removed the toolbar that was displayed at the bottom of the layout windows in previous versions. And One Minor Inconvenience from FileMaker’s Updated Interfaceįinally, there is one change that I have come across so far that may cause some frustration. You no longer must rely on “workarounds” to keep the user from navigating away from their current record due to an awry flick of the scroll wheel.
You can now effectively leverage this snapping feature with the changes to the FileMaker Pro 16 Windows interface.Īnother perk of the FileMaker Pro 16 Windows interface is that mouse scrolling no longer scrolls records and instead vertically scrolls the layout! This is a much-requested feature that I hear from many clients. Windows natively has a window snapping feature when dragging windows to the sides of the screen. Each window also contains its own menu bar and status toolbar. Individual windows can now be resized independently. The FileMaker Pro 16 Windows interface has been redesigned to work more like the Mac OS version by now allowing multiple and separate windows! No longer will Windows users be limited to keeping all their layout windows within the FileMaker Pro application window. With the release of FileMaker Pro 16 a great new feature has been introduced for those of us who use the Windows operating system.
