Developer’s Guide (Mac OS)

3-4 FileMaker Pro SDK Developer’s Guide
Claris recommends You should password protect solution files before
binding. This protects the file in case an end-user opens your solution
with the FileMaker Pro application. Without password protection, your
end-user can print or modify your scripts and field definitions, and make
modifications to your solution. See “Using passwords” on page 3-9 for
more information.
Creating an “About” layout
The FileMaker Pro application splash screen doesn’t appear when the
end-user launches your bundled solution. You should create and display
your own “About” screen using a layout in your primary file.
Claris recommends Title the layout “About <solution name>.” Include
your logo, name, address, and the telephone number you are using for
technical support. This allows Claris Technical Support to identify your
solution if it is sent to us for repair or password removal.
To create an “About” layout:
1. Start with the layout in the Posters solution in the Sample Solution
folder (SAMPLE on Windows) in the Tools folder or create your
own layout.
2. Include your logo or any other graphics and text.
You can include your company name, address, the product name, and
a phone number your end-users can call for technical support.
Substitute your logo, solution
name, and support information
