All blanket statements have their edges and, emerging from underneath my comfort blanket of NO plug-ins, I have noticed there are some plug-ins that seem to universally slip from my fellow developers’ lips on a regular basis, in a positive light. Without endorsing or promoting any particular product, company, plug-in, or Bar Fight Topic, I submit to you four personal examples of me stepping outside of the NO camp just a bit. It’s hard to know where to start with BaseElements, since it offers so much and has both a plug-in and a software solution that helps to analyze FileMaker solutions. I don’t have experience with their software, but the plug-in is, in my opinion, stable, useful, and a great first option when working at the edge of FileMaker’s built-in capabilities.Ģ.

My personal experience with MBS is quite low. The devs around me, on the other hand, continue to ask me how I get along without it. But I’ve noticed that before I tackle anything these days, I’m checking the MBS feature list to see if I’m reinventing a wheel that they’ve already reinvented.

PDF Manipulator from Productive Computing Between MBS and BaseElements, it’s hard to imagine not being able to accomplish what we need to in a business environment.ģ. Productive Computing offers many more plug-ins than just the PDF Manipulator. But the reason I’d like to point this one out is that, for me personally, I never hear about it. For the Productive Computing marketing team, that might be bad.

I’ve never heard anyone complain about it, nor have I been called in to troubleshoot it. As far as I can tell, from my corner of the universe, it just works. I like it when things just work.I have also had the pleasure of interacting with the folks at Productive throughout my career and they’ve always been a cheery and helpful bunch.
