1 Importing data from FileMaker Pro databases – Import order has been
improved. The addition or deletion of fields after field mapping no longer
affects the sort order in import target files.
1 Extended privileges – The fmmobile and fmxslt extended privileges
have been removed. A new extended privilege, fmreauthenticate10,
has been added for FileMaker Go. Also, brackets have been removed
from all default extended privileges for consistency and to enable
editing.
1 You can now specify which buttons in the Specify Custom dialog box
commit data to a database.
1 Mac OS X Lion: Export to .xls requires Rosetta, which is not available
on OS X Lion.
Features removed from FileMaker Pro
1 Mac OS: Support for importing photos from a digital camera or device –
Script steps and menu commands that support importing photos from a
digital camera or device have been removed from FileMaker Pro.
1 Windows: Support for OLE – You can no longer insert or work with OLE
objects from earlier versions of FileMaker Pro. Because of this change,
the Insert Object and Update Link script steps, menu items related to
OLE objects, and the Update all links before printing option in the
Print dialog box have been removed. However, you can activate OLE
objects in container fields and on layouts and save them to their original
formats.
1 Windows: The Flash menubar on misspelled words option has
been removed from the Spelling tab in the File Options dialog box.
FileMaker Pro 12 Advanced
1 Improved custom menus:
1 To support FileMaker Pro files created for devices such as the
iPad and iPhone, default custom menus and menu sets are no
longer created when you create a file. You can add custom menus
and menu sets to files manually, if you want to use them in your
solution files.
1 If you don’t specify a menu item name, FileMaker Pro installs a
blank item in the menu. Choosing it executes the settings defined
for the item.
1 Specify calculations that determine when custom menus or menu
items are installed.
