We just verified today:
Our code signing script and instructions for signing FileMaker runtimes work for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite and Xcode 6.
For steps, please check old article:
Code Signing FileMaker Runtimes
So for the next time, we are save. Now just hope that FileMaker will continue to allow people to make runtimes in the next years.
The up to date script is included with our MBS FileMaker Plugin download.
At the recent conferences, we offered licenses with special conference prices to attendees of the conference.
A little thank you for coming.
Well, if you like to use the offer, be sure to be quick as it expires with the month's end.
Everyone else has a chance to get a flyer with coupon code on next conference

If you like to use SQL queries in FileMaker for a built in database, you normally use
ExecuteSQL function. Now if you run something like this:
ExecuteSQL ( "select * from MyTable"; " "; ¶ )
Now if there is no table with that name of an other SQL error, you get back a ? as result. Not helpful.
Now if you switch to
FM.ExecuteSQL or
FM.ExecuteFileSQL function in MBS Plugin, you can use
FM.ExecuteSQL.LastErrorMessage to get error message.
So if you run
MBS( "FM.ExecuteSQL";"select * from Contacts" )
and also query error with:
MBS( "FM.ExecuteSQL.LastError" )
MBS( "FM.ExecuteSQL.LastErrorMessage" )
you may get error "8309" with error message "ERROR: FQL0002/(1:14): The table named "Contacts" does not exist.". This should be more useful to locate the error.

Since the first version of Mac OS X there exist the concept of services. So one application can offer a service and another app can use it. In most cases the user simply selects a picture, some text or a file and uses a service to pass that information to an application for processing. For example if you select an image file in Finder, you can use context menu service to make it your desktop picture.
