Hi everyone,
I want to build a checklist of things to do & check for when installing FMPA. Stuff that may go into an assisted install file or not (not everything is covered there).
Please share what you think I should add to the list.
I’m thinking about a dev workstation, but let’s just assume items apply to both user & dev unless they are prefixed with [Dev] or [User].
- [Dev] Max out ‘recently opened file’ list
- Remove ‘new version’ notifications
- Use advanced tools
- Remove ‘add newly defined fields to current layout’
- Remove ‘Save layout changes automatically’ (Those who like the FM5 default behavior can keep that.)
- Set memory to 512 MB
- Check ‘Allow Solutions to Install Files’
- [User] make sure the production server is listed as a permitted host if the connection is not protected.
- [Dev] Redefine favorites (hosts/files)
- Remove ‘Display new scripts in Scripts menu’
- [Windows] Set syntax coloring prefs
- [Dev] alter the default fields or delete them
- Install plugins as required
- fonts
- …
