Release notes

0.9.24

2026-09-04

Latest macOS 14 or newer

FileMaker's own words for every option, more of FileMaker's own spellings accepted when pushing, and a hardened plug-in. Updating is strongly recommended.

Security: this release includes security hardening. Updating is strongly recommended.

Added

  • Text written the way FileMaker displays it converts without edits: positional step forms, empty-bracket steps, Show Custom Dialog [ title ; message ].
  • Scripts and folders indent their contents in the converted text.

Improved

  • Every option now uses FileMaker's own words: Verify SSL Certificates, Match case, Serial numbers, Zoom In, Geofence, Replace & Find and more. Text written with the previous wording still pushes.
  • Conversion messages say exactly what to fix and show the accepted forms of the step.
  • The AI writing guide (FMSB_CopyAISpec) is shorter and stricter, and covers the new option names.

Fixed

  • A calculation inside pushed text could be evaluated by FileMaker during the pre-paste check.
  • Disabling and re-enabling the plug-in without restarting FileMaker stopped conversions and could crash FileMaker.
  • Very large pushes could freeze FileMaker.
  • Install Menu Set with the standard FileMaker menus pasted as the file default.
  • Enter Find Mode [ ] pasted with Pause off instead of on.
  • A missing space after a colon (Records:5) could silently change a step's meaning.
  • A mid cut-off script no longer pastes as half a script.
  • Two false warnings removed: FileMaker's own empty steps, and a one-line Parameters option on the AI steps.

0.9.23

2026-08-29

macOS 14 or newer

Pushed scripts are now checked against the target file before pasting. Missing references and calculations that won't compile are flagged before FileMaker silently disables them.

Added

  • Reference check before pasting: the fields, tables, layouts and scripts are checked against the file you're pasting into. Anything that won't resolve gets a warning comment above the exact step, and a panel lets you paste with warnings, paste as-is, or cancel.
  • Calculation check before pasting: every calculation is test-parsed by FileMaker's own engine, so a typo or a custom function the target file doesn't have is flagged with FileMaker's error number and reason.

Improved

  • Better handling of large scripts: a long conversion shows its progress and keeps working while you do something else. When it finishes it checks if you have changed the focus or have newer clipboard content and gives you full control of your next steps.
  • Grammar and syntax improvements
  • Improvements to the plugin configuration panel

0.9.22

2026-08-23

macOS 14 or newer

Turn sample JSON into a ready-to-wire FileMaker script, and script text that reads exactly like FileMaker.

Added

  • New calculation function FMSB_JSONToLoopSteps: give it sample JSON and it returns a complete, readable script that loops your records and composes that JSON. Wire your fields into the marked SET THIS lines, set the gate to True, and push it into FileMaker with the convert hotkey.
  • Support for default options: most script steps now accept partial settings, and the rest get FileMaker's default values.

Improved

  • Bracketed options can be written in any order when pushing text back. Helpful when the initial text was generated by an AI assistant.
  • Grammar and syntax improvements.

Credit: the JSON conversion functions grew from the JSON to JSONSetElement idea in alitfal's open-source filemaker-vscode extension. Thanks to its author.
