FM::NEXUS RELEASES INSPECTOR 1.0
Fast, Comprehensive Analysis Tool for FileMaker Developers Assists in Building Better Solutions and Keeping Them Problem Free
Developed by FM::Nexus, Inspector 1.0 determines and provides
essential information developers need to build rock solid
solutions, execute intelligent maintenance and keep solutions
problem free. Inspector quickly and thoroughly analyzes the
metadata of FileMaker solutions. The analysis result clarifies the
structure, elements, relationships and other crucial detailed
information, highlighting problems in troubled areas.
"Inspector provides comprehensive analysis of FileMaker solutions
with supersonic speed," said Vincenzo Menanno, founder and
president of FM::Nexus. "Inspector helps FileMaker developers build
better solutions and build them faster. Better solutions because
the more you use Inspector, the less likely problems will be
introduced without your knowing. Faster because it provides you
with all the cross- referencing you need in order to stay on top of
your project and maintain a bird's eye view."
"Inspector provides several impressive features I'd never seen
before in any type of FileMaker analysis software for developers,"
said Kent Searight, founder of 3rd Rock Data, LLC and beta tester.
"The ability to sort elements in reports by the element name allows
me to view elements in the same order as I view them in FileMaker.
Its new search and cross referencing capabilities are very
powerful, very useful, and undoubtedly the crowning achievement of
Inspector. FM::Nexus listened to the wants and wishes of fellow
developers and created a top notch FileMaker development
tool."
Using FileMaker's Database Design Report (DDR), Inspector provides
a visual overview of basetables, table occurrences, layouts, layout
objects, scripts, fields, privilege sets and much more. Inspector
analyses outline specific problems with a colorful visual interface
that helps developers quickly understand which issues require
attention. Offering detailed information helpful in making a
deletion decision, Inspector visually displays the references and
dependencies used by any element, such as a field, layout, etc.
Inspector provides search capabilities that are extremely
comprehensive and flexible, such as the ability to search within
any calculation for any element, field, text, function, custom
function, plug-in function, table occurrence or literal string.
Security Perspective provides a quickly readable visual
presentation of elements in security-impacted areas, such as
basetables, layouts, layout objects, scripts, script steps, and
value lists. Comparison Checking shows what's been changed, and how
it's been changed, between multiple analyses.
As a runtime solution, Inspector allows developers to utilize it
alongside their solution development. Inspector facilitates change
documentation, whether for ones own records, team members or
clients.
