In FME 2024, I can’t find TclCaller.

TclCaller is very useful in some cases, I cannot understand why it has been deprecated.

I strongly hope it will be restored.

Maybe it is hiding, getting ready for a extravagant comeback… ?

Like in the song “Rise like a phoenix?”

We've deprecated the TclCaller to minimize security risks associated with executing arbitrary user-authored scripts, aligning with industry best practices. We recommend migrating existing Tcl workflows to Python using Python's built-in Tcl interpreter via the tkinter module, which allows you to directly execute Tcl scripts from PythonCaller. Python offers enhanced security, better testing coverage, and broader functionality, making it a safer, more robust alternative. Existing workflows using TclCaller will continue to function, but new development should utilize PythonCaller with tkinter.
