FmPro Clipboard Explorer 1.01 Released at [Full Access] Supporting FileMaker Pro Clipboard Private Data Types

The new open source FmPro Clipboard Explorer (macOS/Win) manages FileMaker Pro’s clipboard data, easing AI generated script import into the Script Workspace.

“FmPro Clipboard Explorer enables developers to use the latest public generative AI models like Anthropic Claude to easily paste generated FileMaker Pro scripts into the Script Workspace (macOS/Win).”— David Simpson

.com Solutions Inc. today announced the open-source release of FmPro Clipboard Explorer 1.01, a cross-platform utility (macOS/Windows) designed to unlock and manage the private clipboard data types utilized by FileMaker Pro. The utility is being released at the [Full Access] unconference held from October 20–23, 2025, in Los Altos, CA.

Bridging Generative AI and FileMaker Pro Development

The FmPro Clipboard Explorer app solves a long-standing challenge for Claris FileMaker Pro developers by providing direct access to the hidden XML metadata that FileMaker Pro places onto the system clipboard when scripts, layout objects, or other elements are copied.

This capability is especially crucial for modern development workflows involving artificial intelligence. FmPro Clipboard Explorer allows developers to export this private clipboard data as XML and binary files. Crucially, it also enables the importing of external XML files generated by other software, including scripts generated by Large Language Models (LLMs). This dramatically simplifies the process of integrating AI-generated code.

Key Features and Developer Benefits

The FmPro Clipboard Explorer app, developed using the LiveCode platform, offers a robust set of features to enhance developer productivity:

Clipboard Management: Directly interacts with and manages the private FileMaker data types on the clipboard.
A summary of these data types includes:

FileMaker Clipboard Data Types Reference
macOS Windows Object
XML2 Mac-XML2 Layout
XMFN Mac-XMFN Custom Function
XMTB Mac-XMTB Table
XMFD Mac-XMFD Field
XMSC Mac-XMSC Script
XMSS Mac-XMSS Script Step
XMVL Mac-XMVL Value List

Import/Export XML: Provides dedicated functions to Import XML and Export XML clipboard data, allowing developers to manipulate, version control, and store FileMaker elements outside the FileMaker Pro database.

AI Code Workflow: Facilitates a smooth, three-step process: Generate a FileMaker script XML snippet using an LLM, Import the XML into FmPro Clipboard Explorer, and use the Paste function to transfer script code directly into the FileMaker Script Workspace via the clipboard.

Open Source: Released under an open-source license, allowing the community to inspect the code, contribute enhancements, and build upon the utility.
