About Inspector
Inspector is the premier development analysis and debugging tool
for the FileMaker platform. Whether it's a solution you
wrote or inherited, Inspector will make debugging easier and
faster. With Inspector, all memory variables and field references
are immediately available with their dependencies in a central,
visible location. A highly intuitive visual interface helps you
spot potential problems and resolve them immediately.
"Inspector is a must-have utility for FileMaker
professionals... the ability to search within calculation formulas
is worth the price of admission alone, but the reports and
automatic highlighting of problems within solutions saves a ton of
development time as well. The security summary information is a
fantastic way to diagnose issues across multiple privilege sets and
troubleshoot during conversion. Inspector is an invaluable addition
to our collective toolbox." -- Scott Love, Founding
Partner and Vice President, Soliant Consulting
How Inspector Works
Inspector thoroughly analyzes the metadata of solutions built with
FileMaker software to provide the essential information developers
need to build rock-solid solutions, execute intelligent maintenance
and keep solutions problem-free. Using FileMaker's DDR,
Inspector provides an eye-popping visual overview of basetables,
table occurrences, layouts, scripts, fields, privilege sets and
much more. The result clarifies the structure, elements,
relationships and other crucial information, graphically
highlighting problems in troubled areas for a quick understanding
of issues requiring attention.
Comprehensive and flexible, Inspector's search provides
results from within any calculation for elements, fields,
functions, etc. Inspector provides visually striking, detailed
information for deletion decisions, multiple security perspectives,
change tracking across multiple analyses, and can even facilitate
change documentation, for one's own records, team members
or clients.
"Since its release, Inspector has been an integral part of
our solution Q/A process. We use Inspector in the final stages of
development to identify issues that our testers may have missed. In
a recent FileMaker 6 to FileMaker 8 migration project, Inspector
found a whopping 1700 issues which we were able to rapidly fix.
Inspector has surely increased the quality of our products, and has
lowered our time to market." -- Charlie Bailey,

Free with Inspector for OS X users: Clip Manager from myFMbutler
"Hold the phone. This is interesting ... the doors of
possibilities just opened up nice and wide." -- From April
2007 FMPug Newsletter
(http://www.fmpug.com/newsletters/2007/april2007.html)
myFMbutler's Clip Manager, now included with Inspector 1.7
for Mac OS X, gives you full access to FileMaker XML data for
tables, fields, scripts and layouts so that you can re-use
components from all your FileMaker solutions, building a custom
library as you go along. The perfect companion to Inspector, Clip
Manager is another must-have tool for serious FileMaker developers.
"myFMbutler Clip Manager has proven to be a real time
saver during conversion and migration projects. It literally saved
me hours of my time when merging separate files into a single file.
The integration with my preferred text editor allows me to easily
make bulk changes to occurrence names in layouts and scripts.
Something that would normally require several hours of work can now
be done in a matter of minutes." -- Luk Dhondt, myFMbutler
"We are excited to collaborate with myFMbutler to bring
you these very useful developer tools." -- Vince Menanno,
Creator of Inspector
