You type something, we update the script view and show all lines in yellow with the matching text.

Some for function names, so you can define a general color for functions and give your special functions an unique color. You can even set colors for local variables and global variables in general and specific variables with specific colors. This includes rules to give functions a color, brackets a color, numbers a color ad quoted text a color. When you type calculations, we can apply our rules to color the calculations. This way you can easily spot where the end if/loop lines are or where the loop is exited early. If you select a line belonging to an if or loop block, we highlight the other lines for the same block in light blue. You also see Set Field without field specified in orange.Īnd the best: You can customize the rules with the Syntax Colorizer database included with the plugin. In the screenshot you see Perform Script in red as no script is chosen. This includes the use of red color for lines with errors, orange for warnings and colors to detect the type of lines. The MBS Plugin has a default rule set to color script lines and overwrite the colors from FileMaker itself. Over the years we got a lot of free goodies in the MBS Plugin to improve your daily development experience.
