FileMaker Script Bridge 1.0.0 is a major desktop update: a redesigned workspace for macOS and Windows, two ways to create a script, and optional on-device Qwen generation.

Package Requirements Status
FileMaker-Script-Bridge-macOS.zip Apple Silicon · macOS 13+ Mac app, version 1.0.0, build 2026102004
FileMaker-Script-Bridge-Windows-x64.exe Windows 10/11 x64 Installer available for native Windows testing

Mac: extract the ZIP and move the app to Applications. This package is ad-hoc signed and is not Apple-notarized; your macOS settings may require an additional first-open confirmation.

Windows: run the installer and launch from Start. The conversion worker and required DLLs are included; a Swift installation is not required. Setup obtains Microsoft WebView2 from Microsoft if it is missing, which needs an internet connection. The installer is unsigned. Native Windows installation, display, FileMaker clipboard acceptance and inference remain unverified; please use the Windows acceptance guide when testing.

The new Mac package targets Apple Silicon. Intel Mac users can continue using the previous universal SwiftUI release. It has the older interface and no Qwen playground. FileMaker Pro 26 is the documented clipboard target.

What's new

  • A shared desktop design. An AniCanto-inspired Tauri/Rust interface for Mac and Windows, with Welcome, Script workspace, AI playground, Step reference and Quick guide.
  • A clearer review workflow. Live validation, Smart Fix, native XML inspection and a prominent Copy to FileMaker button with a new clipboard/arrow icon. The tested Swift conversion engine remains behind the new interface.
  • Two draft paths. Paste text from another AI tool or ask the built-in Qwen playground to generate a draft.
  • Optional model downloads. Select Qwen3.5 9B or 35B-A3B to download automatically. Downloads are size/SHA-256 verified and resumable. Remove model unloads and deletes installed weights; Remove download clears partial files.
  • FileMaker-aware guidance. Generation includes the bridge's syntax reference, editable-step list and relevant examples, plus optional database context supplied by you. Drafts are validated and can receive one repair attempt before you choose Review in workspace.
  • Updated appearance and identity. Light, dark and system themes; the purple bridge icon; proper version 1.0.0; and an outer app shell that does not introduce an unnecessary scrollbar.
  • About and licences. Revised project information and searchable offline application, dependency, inference-engine and model notices.

Optional Qwen models

Model Q4_K_M download Suggested memory
Qwen3.5 9B 5.68 GB 16 GB or more
Qwen3.5 35B-A3B 22.02 GB 48 GB or more

Weights are separate optional downloads, stored outside the app. Memory figures are estimates. macOS uses the bundled Metal inference runtime; the Windows package currently uses the portable CPU runtime. Model files are pinned Unsloth conversions of the original Qwen models.

Support and verification

  • The reference covers 216 official script steps: 98 editable subsets and 118 completion templates. Editable subsets can have option-specific limits.
  • 107 Swift tests, 5 JavaScript/worker tests and 10 Rust host/knowledge/codec tests pass locally. Separate integration checks exercise verified/resumable downloads and real Qwen 9B generation through the Swift validator.
  • The Windows host and Swift worker were cross-compiled on macOS. The installer was extracted, all 73 payload files were checked against their hashes, and regular/delayed DLL imports were audited across 54 native x64 app/runtime PE files.
  • The Mac bundle signature and icon were checked, including the corrected Finder icon in build 2026102004.
  • The 35B model has not been inference-tested. Native Windows acceptance is pending. This release does not claim a new native FileMaker acceptance run on either platform.

Review script logic, actual database names and generated calculations before running scripts. Completion templates remain visible TODO comments requiring manual setup. Preservation markers depend on the original XML held in the same app session; copy the native steps again after restarting the app.

Source, checksums and licences

The assets include matching project-source.tar.gz, component-sources.tar.gz, inference-runtime-source.tar.gz, release-manifest.json, windows-build-receipt.json and SHA256SUMS.txt. Keep the corresponding source archives with the binaries when redistributing them.

Conversion and optional generation run on this computer; the app does not upload scripts or prompts. Optional model downloads and external links require network access.
