Realm database is a database format used for mobile apps (both iOS and Android). I would like to read from and write data to this database, without having to use a third party app.
Transformers which have Group By do the groupping in case sensitive alpahabetic mode.Casing is not always important and time to time I'd like group by numbers where the numeric values come inconsistently with or without leading zeros or .00 at the end.It would save some preparation and clean up transformers before and after the groupping transformers (eg. Aggregator, StatisticsCalculator) if the Group By settings would have comparison options (case sensitive, case insensitive, numeric, etc, like in testers).
Put the title bar dark instead of white.See this post : White Title bar
Parcel Fabric is a key component in the ESRI local government model. Unfortunately FME desktop does not recognize parcel fabric dataset features. Please consider enhancing the ESRI data readers to recognize this type of data
Hello, I don't see a "count" option for the PointCloudStatisticsCalculator. Could it be added? It should be possible to know how many data points were used to generate a statistics; It's very useful when reporting stats. Since it's needed to generate the mean, I am guessing the tool already calculates it, but fails to give the user the option to output it without using extra transformers.Seems like a miss for this otherwise very useful tool.Cheers, MelanieMontreal
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Add "All attributes" in CRCCalculator and why not a fme_crc attribute for all readers ? Change "Included Attributes" parameter of CRCCalculator by a list like for ChangeDetector or Matcher :- Selected Attributes - All except... - All..Because we cant use CRCCalculator dynamically by specifing attributes manually.And why not a fme_crc attribute for each reader basing on geometry and user attributes ? Too time consuming ? So maybe as an option for each reader : "Generate CRC ?"
It would be easier and nice to have, to locate an attribute(s) order number, or see how many attributes available in a reader writer has if there's sequence in the attribute definition window, as shown in the snapshot as a draft idea.
I was just thinking, since FME Server 2019, has a way to interpret .fmw files, maybe safe would be interested in building a plugin for MS Office, to make it easy to view a .fmw file directly in Outlook, Powerpoint, Word and so on?
It would be useful to extend the Emailer to include extra originator fields as per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.6.2 At the moment it has From, To, CC and BCC fields. Sender and Reply-To fields would allow the email to be sent on behalf of someone and replies to be directed elsewhere.from = "From:" mailbox-list sender = "Sender:" mailbox reply-to = "Reply-To:" address-list
The FeatureJoiner does not have an Accumulation Mode the way the FeatureMerger and DatabaseJoiner do, to allow for prefixing the joined attributes.It would be nice to take advantage of the efficiencies of the featureJoiner while allowing better conflict resolution by prefixing the attributes, rather than have to rename them ahead of time, or use just the left (or right).
In the JSON returned from the System Events- Successful/Failed Log In I would like to see the user email listed as well as the user name. For my use case I am triggering a workspace to monitor the number of failed log ins and will disable a user account if the failed log in count has reached X over Y time. Having the email returned in the JSON will allow me to configure the automation to send notifications to that user.
In System Events rather than having to enable and configure the Send Email parameters for each system event individually I would like to see an option to set this up once and apply to all.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Add option for whether to ignore leading and trailing spaces in transformers that matches attribute values In FME there are a lot of transformers that compares values of attributes, as part of their function. e.g. FeatureMerger, Matcher, DuplicateFilter, etc.These transformers don't all behave consistently, when it comes to whether they ignore the leading and training spaces. For example FeatureMerger will consider values "a", " a", and " a " the same, in matching key attributes; While DuplicateFilter will consider these values different from one another. It would be nice to add an option, which allow users to specify whether these spaces should be ignored or not.
It would be really handy if you could set Precedence on a Featurewriter (in my case specifically when writing to Postgres/Oracle/SQLServer).Therefore enabling multiple tables to be written in a single transformer with a single opening of the connection but ensuring the writing of one table does not start until the writing of another is complete.I recognise this can be achieved with a feature holder but would be a nice additional feature for feature writer which would enable hierarchically linked tables to be landed with ease.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: FME Data Express : Allow user to draw geometries (as leaflet draw) as input on top of location. Allow user to draw geometries (as leaflet draw) as input on top of location.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: If FME 3d tile writer provides some optimizations like cesium it would be helpful. 3D tiles generated by FME are too slow to load on cesuim ion. If FME 3d tile writer provides some optimizations like cesium it would be helpful.
Hello, I think it would be nice to have an overhaul on the report generator style settings. Currently, it outputs into Bootstrap v3.3, and the most updated version is 4.3. It would be nice to have a selection option for which to choose if you have legacy apps that require 3.3 integration. There are also a number of features that can be utilized from Bootstrap that would make a lot of html pages more visually appealing.
Add the ability to generate Metadata for existing image files such as TIFF or JPEG. For example, I have a directory of tiffs, and I want to go ahead and generate Application specific Header files such as tabs, tfw’s and ERS. At the moment we are having to go back and use global mapper to generate these files.This is also Important to not re-write the image itself as if the format is lossy compressed, each re-write degrades the image.
The reader stops on an imbedded ^Z before the end of the file. This comes about because unicode character o-with-macron has char(26) in the pair of characters.Changing the encoding did not fix the problem. Since the Textfile reader does handle this, maybe a developer could pinch some code from there?See https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/97312/csv-and-control-z.html
The AttributeManager accounts for all attributes, including those without action. If I remove an attribute that is listed in a following AttributeManager, the transformer turns red, indicating an error. This should be ignored for all 'Do Nothing' and 'Remove' attributes - the list of attributes in the AttributeManager should simply be updated.
Licensing should allow more than 8 concurrent Desktop workbenches to run, and more than 16 background processes. For example one could buy an extra license to allow 8 extra concurrent and 16 extra background processes.
Often I stumble upon obscure and old raster formats that I need to save for future needs. FME has come a long way in supporting raster formats but there's still many formats that FME doesn't yet support. For these cases I use ImageMagick https://imagemagick.org/ often called from FME with a SystemCaller transformer.Now an idea has grown. Could there be a possibility that Safe, in some way, could incorporate ImageMagick in to FME to get native support for all the formats that the ImageMagick software supports?ImageMagick is distributed under a derived Apache 2.0 license so perhaps there's an opening to a partnership there?
Hi,It would be great to have the possibility into the Excel Writer to choose the Start Column value with an attribute value.See this post for infos : https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/96709/excel-start-column-value-option.html?childToView=96769#answer-96769
It would be great if there was an AttributeNameFilter transformer. I know that there are work arounds for keeping and removing Attributes with specific Names (eg. https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/35011/filter-by-attribute-names.html)But these are very cumbersome and not efficient for large files.
Garmin IMG is a proprietary format, many Garmin GPS users would like to add their own maps in their handhelds. Ability to write into this format would help a great deal .
