@BillMill I do like it. But some things have vanished from right click, this causes a more fiddly ui

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

#FridayFeeling today, after a busy week of development, It's time to share... "there must be an easier way" yes, it's #FileMaker

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

So, now am craving a grid repeater layout object for portals, so you can stack many portals, with easy filter entry. #FileMaker

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

@MacGeek27 @LauraJBetz thanks, not asking for help. I know the alternatives, just posting thoughts about existing and potential features.

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

@MacGeek27 @LauraJBetz I like functionality that isn’t script dependent. Hide and conditional formatting and pop overs all subscribe to that

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

@MacGeek27 @LauraJBetz yeah. But the nice thing about a pop over is you don’t lose focus and you don’t go anywhere.

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

@MacGeek27 @LauraJBetz if you have a grid of portals. A popover in a row is unique to each portal. If it was layout based could be shared

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

@LauraJBetz It wasn't quite what I thought it would be. It's an improvement on windows placement, I agree, but I thought it would be a like a popover

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

Is it just me or are you finding the new layout Objects feature annoying on #FileMaker too? I want to be able to edit multiple portal setups

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

But you can't. It needs to work like it does for conditional formatting. A few right click options have vanished too. Needs work! https://t.co/bpssezvyVy

I'm, confused about #FileMaker and it's new layout objects feature. I thought great! we can access grouped multi portals, and edit them.

Welcome to #FileMaker 16, which looks like theres some good enhancements and labour saving elements. Looking forward to trying them all out

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

I know there are work arounds, but this is such an obvious native thing to do. We're app Devs, we need app behaviours https://t.co/JSQ7geAJKV

#FileMaker would be really good if we could have an object that is a "zone" for drag and dropping, currently without some wizardry, not easy

I add my own, but it seems daft to not have one there all the time. https://t.co/JvZOtGVLwU

#FileMaker If pop-overs close button was there in browse and layout mode, as it seems un-natrual to click off.

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

#FileMaker It would be an idea to be able to store pop-overs as a layout, so that when used in repetitive situations they are global.

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

#FileMaker
Would it not make sense to be able to convert a tab control to a sliding panel? and both have same object handling?

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

@ti32fbb thanks!

[David Lawrence @FileMakerMentor]

You'll find it harder to find what It can't do. #filemaker has the answers. Now what is the question? https://t.co/xsiEvhcuUd

[aACEsoft @aACEsoft]

What can you do with #FileMaker? You might be surprised! https://t.co/Kxgqk7Z3zB
