FmPro Script Diff 1.15 - FileMaker ScriptMaker Comparison Utility Updated
for MacOS X Leopard (10.5) Compatibility
.com Solutions Inc. has released FmPro Script Diff 1.15,
a FileMaker script comparison and editing utility for Mac OS X &
Windows. FmPro Script Diff 1.15 is an updated version fixing a screen
redraw issue on MacOS X Leopard (10.5). This maintenance release also
fixes an issue with the display of sorted Diff Results.
FmPro Script Diff - FmPro Script Diff compares, edits,
searches and stores FileMaker® ScriptMaker™ scripts. Changed
scripts are compared on a line-by-line basis and displayed with color
coded tags to the left of each modified line. Interline changes are
also highlighted to indicate Changed, Added or Deleted text. Each script’s
XML source can be manually edited or updated via the Search & Replace
feature, and pasted back into FileMaker Advanced.
Transferring scripts between FileMaker Advanced and FmPro
Script Diff is accomplished by copying & pasting the scripts via
the clipboard. No DDR Export is required. The XML code representing
each script is parsed, converted to human-readable text and checked
for errors. Each script is stored in an embedded database within FmPro
Script Diff. Selected scripts can then be copied back onto the clipboard
as XML for pasting back into FileMaker or as RTF formatted text for
project documentation. Each attribute of the script definition is copied
onto the clipboard, including Script Name, Script ID, and Include in
Menu status.
FmPro Script Diff improves productivity by helping FileMaker
developers answer questions such as:
What
changes have been made to this ScriptMaker script?
Which
scripts have been changed between two database revisions?
Which
scripts were modified on a particular day?
Which
scripts were modified by a specific developer?
Where
is this global variable modified within each script of my solution?
Is
this field used by any script in my solution (before I delete, modify
or reuse it)?
How
can I find and change a text string, variable, fieldname or table occurrence
within dozens or even hundreds of scripts?
FmPro Script Diff Features:
Colorized
Line by Line Diff Results - Identically named but differing scripts
are analyzed on a line-by-line basis. Changes are highlighted in color
to make it easy to see whether individual lines have been Added, Deleted
or Changed. Changed text within each line is also highlighted.
Easily
Find Changed Scripts - Quickly display only the modified scripts within
a large group of scripts by using the Diff screen menu item Changed
Scripts. If you have dozens or even hundreds of scripts, it can
be a significant time saver to filter the Diff results to display only
the Changed, New, Deleted or Unchanged scripts.
Search
& Replace Text Within Scripts - How long would it take to manually
find and replace a piece of text like a customer name or product name
within dozens or even hundreds of scripts? FmPro Script Diff can perform
these types of search
and replace tasks within a few seconds. Search & Replace can
be performed on variable names, Tablename::Fieldnames, Table Occurrences
and text strings throughout an entire group of scripts. Updated scripts
can then be pasted directly into FileMaker Advanced. All script attributes
including Script Name, Script ID and Include in Menu status are retained
when transferring scripts via the clipboard.
TAB
to Highlighted Text - When a script is clicked in search mode, the search
text is highlighted in yellow in the Script Text display field. Pressing
the TAB key automatically advances to the next occurrence of the found
text within the field. This timesaving feature is also used for the
Script Errors display, which shows script errors highlighted in red.
For Diff results, the field automatically scrolls and highlights the
first changed line of text, and pressing the TAB key advances to the
next changed line.
Existing FmPro Script Diff customers may upgrade to FmPro Script Diff
1.15 at no charge. The single-user licensing includes a copy of FmPro
Script Diff for both Mac OS X (Universal Binary) and Windows platforms.
