For MBS FileMaker Plugin, just make sure you have a 14.x version, best the 14.2 one. We had to adjust our plugin in several places:
- We updated the SDK to the latest version.
- Relationship graph search had to be adjusted for macOS.
- Control placements have been adjusted for macOS.
- Adjustments for identifying FileMaker windows on Windows.
And a few smaller bug fixes. We keep an eye open on what users report and may adjust more for the next plugin release.
