  • FMP20 - any rumours what o expect?

    From Martin =?UTF-8?Q?=CE=A4rautmann?=@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 29 14:50:47 2022
    Are there any rumours what to expect from FMP20

    1) For Mac I'd need a version that would run both on old Intel chips as
    well as new M1 chips

    2) Which MacOS will be supported? FMP19 requires at least MacOS 10.14.
    I'm still on MacOS 10.10 because of my FMP11, but according to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212551 I could upgrade for Monterey

    3) What's about new functions?

    All of the recent updates did not provide any necessary improvements for
    me. What I still would need is better usability

    * real "undo" of mistakes for replace operations

    * real tracking and versioning, which field was changed when from what
    to what

    * spreadsheet like operation in spreadsheet view, to copy/paste from
    multiple cells to multiple cells.

    It would be great if they put back the ability to create
    runtime/standalone apps (even betetr if you could create both Windows
    and MacOS without needing both systems!) ... but that's not going to
    happen because they want you to buy more licences and their other
    'workflow' app. :o(
