June 4, 2015 at 3:27 pmAlex makes some good points in his blog post, especially the comparison to FileMaker. It would be great if Apple could separate ProApps a bit more from the rest of Apple. Not necessarily a spin-off subsidiary like FileMaker, but maybe something in between. The revenue stream would seem to support this. More direct interaction with their user community, including appearances at shows, events and user groups could be very beneficial.

Like most Apple software on PCs, apps based on the Filemaker Pro ‘platform’ run like absolute shite…most notably Final Draft. When I called Final Draft support about it the rep just shrugged. Most enlightening, that shrug. So I use Movie Magic which runs on Windows like a jacked-up race horse.

How is Final Draft based on the Filemaker Pro platform? I use it daily and see no resemblance.

June 5, 2015 at 6:46 pmWarren, when I was wondering why the performance of the windowing in Final Draft was so poor I dug under the hood and found a Filemaker Pro database. This was a litle over a year ago.
