I'm on a 2011 Macbook Pro and just migrated from Filemaker Pro 9 to
Filemaker Pro 12 Advanced.
I am amazed at the number of changes
I went on an even bigger jump, from FileMaker 4 and 5 (briefly via 7)
to 15 and 16 on my own computer, although I had occasionally had to use
some intervening versions elsewhere. :o)
they made for the worse. But that's another story for another day.
Yep, there's been a ton of rather silly changes that have simply over-complicated FileMaker. Not the least of which is the horrible new
'tree diagram' for Relationships. :o(
The most annoying thing I find is that every time you go into layout
mode and select an object, the inspector comes up. If you're
formatting a layout or sliding things around, the thing just gets in
the way.
I would prefer to have it come up on Command+I (which is its menu
command) rather to have it always come up.
Is there any way to get it to do this?
Thank you
I'm not sure about in version 12, but in version 16 simply closing the Inspector will get rid of it. FileMaker remembers that when you switch
back and forth between modes. It does not remember it when you Quit
FileMaker and re-open the database, but at least it's a one-off
keypress / mouse click.
The only real problem is that you may find some things can now only be
done via the silly Inspector window.
Helpful Harry :o)
