![]() ![]() True data syncing would be lovely, but syncing is hard, so I get why they didn’t attempt this on the first go round.įileMaker Go is not bullet proof yet, I managed to crash the app, by leaving a database open, wandering off to another app, then returning and clicking the Yes when asked if I wanted to resume my connection. It would be useful to have more options for two-way traffic. I haven’t confirmed this yet, but on first glance, this appears to be true. I could imagine how much simpler this might be if double clicking into a container field brought up a media browser from which one could select a photo in the Camera Roll.Īnother commenter noted that although there are a variety of ways to get a database onto the iPhone, (email, iTunes, DropBox etc.) there is only one way back, via iTunes. Open the Camera Roll, copy a photo, switch to FIleMaker Go, reconnect to your local database, click into the container field and paste. I just tried to copy and paste from the Camera Roll into a container field and this works fine, it is just quite a few steps to do it. It would have been nice to see some innovations that take specific advantage of the iPhone’s features-one comment I saw in another article on FileMaker Go suggested the ability to import photos into container fields directly from the iPhone’s camera. There are plenty of features missing in FileMaker Go, but it is a good start. I am sure the extra screen real estate on the iPad will add greatly to the usability of FileMaker Go. I am going to focus on the iPhone/iTouch version, as my son has wandered off with the family iPad. Now that they are here and widely available, many developers and FileMaker users, will, no doubt be interested in getting their hands on them. Presumably the delays had to do with first the iPad shipping, and then the launch of i0S4. After all Bento, FileMaker’s little brother database for the Mac, has been available for the iPhone since January 2008. It is a bit of a mystery as to why it took FileMaker Inc., quite so long to release this software. The demo was given at the FileMaker’s Developers Conference in August 2009 in San Francisco, under non-disclosure, so we couldn’t talk about it then. As FileMaker developers, we were given a glimpse of this product family last year (we didn’t know it would be a family at that point, it was before the iPad shipped). These two versions will run on the iPhone/iPod Touch ($19.99) and the iPad ($39.99). As you may have heard by now, FileMaker has finally launched portable versions of FileMaker Pro, called FileMaker Go. ![]()
