#747 — [NEWS] FileMaker Pro 12 released

From MacRumors.com ...

    FileMaker Pro 12 Adds New 'Starter Solutions'
    and Broadens iOS Integration
    ---------------------------------------------
    Apple subsidiary FileMaker today announced the launch of its
    new lineup of FileMaker 12 database applications, launching
    new themes and "Starter Solutions" to help users get up and
    running, as well as significantly enhancing integration with
    iOS devices.

       "Databases only boost productivity if people genuinely
       enjoy using them," said Ryan Rosenberg, vice president,
       marketing and services, FileMaker, Inc. "Everyone wants
       a great database, but not everyone is a great designer.
       Let FileMaker 12 handle the design and youšll create
       dazzling databases that are incredibly easy to use, on
       iPad, iPhone, desktop and the web."

    Among the key new features in FileMaker 12:

    - Over 40 new themes specifically designed to translate 
      among desktop, iPad, and iPhone. New tools help users 
      customize the default themes to create their own unique
      database documents.

    - Sixteen rebuilt Starter Solutions provide templates upon
      which users can build their databases depending on the
      type of data being stored. As with themes, the templates
      can be easily customized to suit users' needs.

    - Enhanced container fields for storing files within
      databases, improving performance and ease of use.

    - Quick Charts for streamlining the process of creating new
      charts based off of database entries.

    - Significantly enhanced iOS compatibility with free new
      FileMaker Go apps for iPad and iPhone [both on the AppStore].
      The new apps are compatible only with Filemaker 12, and the
      company continues to offer the $39.99/$19.99 FileMaker Go 11
      apps for use with earlier versions of the software.

    Pricing for FileMaker 12 on the desktop remains the same as in
    the previous version, with FileMaker Pro 12 priced at $299 for
    new users and $179 for upgrade users and FileMaker Pro 12
    Advanced checking in at $499 and $299 respectively. The basic
    FileMaker Server 12 is priced at $999/$599, while FileMaker
    Server 12 Advanced carries a price tag of $2,999/$1,799. All
    versions are available today.

Been playing with it for the last couple of hours. INCREDIBLE . . . yes, that's right . . . absolutely INCREDIBLE layout tools and enhancements! That alone is worth the price of the upgrade for the developer.

- memory limitation (FMP11 was limited to 512 MO)
- multithread organisation and multicore  proc utilisation

The above is easy to miss in that press release that Harry posted.  Note 
that FileMaker Go for iPad and iPhone are absolutely *FREE* downloads 
from the Apple App Store.

I therefore recommend you download the free trial version of FM Pro, use 
one of the beautiful new templates, customize it if you wish (or not) 
and give it a try on your iOS device.  I think you'll be completely 
amazed if you haven't tried FM Go before.

When might we see FilmakerGO for Android tablets?

Meanwhile I will have to be happy using LogMeIn and the real Filemaker 
I guess.

The reviewer seems pretty happy with it, but there's a few complaining
people in the comments.
