Hi,

Are you also in charge of a multi-version/bit-affinity FME installation ? And is keeping track of which version with which to run a specific workspace getting to be a hazzle. It was for me.

So I created a small utility tool named "FME Version Selector.exe", which I tied to the "fmw" extension in Windows Explorer. I'd like to share this with you.

The tool gets run whenever I double click on a workspace file in Explorer. It then reads the first 20 lines from the workspace file, looking for a reference to "fme.exe" in the commented section, and uses it to determine the appropriate Workbench to run. It then spawns this particular Workbench with the workspace as argument.

It can also be run stand-alone without arguments, in which case it shows a file opening dialog, in which you choose the workspace you want to open.

I'm attaching the tool as a freeware ZIP with its C# 2015 source code. Find the EXE itself in the bin/debug sub folder. It's based just on .Net 2.0, so it should be fairly accessable.
