Vincenzo Menanno, director of FileMaker develop for Beezwax shared some insights into FileMaker solution analysis, and how to improve both performance and UX in your solutions at the March 3, 2015 meeting of the Marin DIGFM

• Designing for Performance - some highlights from our research and testing on this subject, including some new ideas I’m presenting at FM Dev Meetups and DevCon this year.

• The New InspectorPro 5

InspectorPro is a commercial tool that I built which provides comprehensive analysis of your FileMaker 12 & 13 solutions:

• Identify references and dependencies. 

• Analyze your solution's Calcs, Scripts, Fields, Triggers, Layout Objects, Security and more. 

• Compare differences between solutions. 

• Visualize all script interactions ( Script Universe )

The New InspectorPro 5 has been rewritten from the ground up, and offers a number of improvements. The DDR-parsing plug-in is 64-bit and optimized for taking advantage of all the cores on your machine. I’ll show you how the UI was re-written to take advantage of FileMaker 13 Styles and simplify the UX. And I can show you how we use JavaScript libraries (d3.js) to create data visualizations like the “Script Universe” that give you insight into your solutions. I’m looking forward to meeting you all at the Meetup.
