It's awsome to copy/paste the conditionals in 2018. I'd still like to see the conditionals for one transformer, whilst editing the next one. I think it would be neat to use Summary Bookmark for this purpose. Yes, they would expand to large canvases for a while, but collapsed or removed again, shortly there after.Thanks guys! Ps. Oh, and what would be really awsome, is to have names and phrases highlighted in conditionals, that are referred or duplicated in other conditionals in the workbench!! Smartness @daleatsafe
When adding a reader, there is a drop-down list available for selecting coord. system if you do not want to accept the source file's. This list holds selections from past projects that may not be needed anymore. It would be nice to allow some means to edit or sort this drop-down list.
It would be great if the 3DBuffere could have End Cap Style Options.Left: Round Cap (FME 2018 beta build 18248), Right None Cap (expected)
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: ReprojectLengthCalculator Source Coordinate System read from feature or attribute Currently the ReprojectLengthCalculator Source Coordinate System parameter can only be specified manually or via a user parameter. It would be nice if this can be specified via an attribute and also have the option to read from feature, as the Reprojector does.
Data Inspector should reveal invisible (non-printable) characters in any String and Workbench should warn the presence of such characters.For instance: from x{0000} to x{001f}, x{007F}, x{0081}, x{008D}, x{008F}, x{0090}, x{009D}, x{00A0}, x{00AD}.How should a human being tell the characters above and a blank space apart if there is no distinction between them in FME User Interface? (I did to copy and paste inside Notepad++ to figure this out).
The data filters are great but often over complex at the base level. It is not at all uncommon in FME to want to use the capabilities to string together a big workflow but as far as i can see there is no easy way to direct and control data. A dialogue with two columns - 1 autofilled with all of the reader/reader dataset names and 1 autofilled with all of the write names. Drag and drop readers to match writers and maybe drill down on each reader to expose attributes to do attribute filters, etc and direct to the correct writer. Maybe too much 1 ring to rule them all but at the basic level this would be good for newbies like me before hitting the more advanced filters.
Create simple Powerpoint presentations. Features specify headings, text, pictures, tables which are strung together to make a set of slides.
Hi,It is often necessary to convert tif with tfw to geotif. Currently FME creates a new image. This is not a problem when there are only a few. It would be a great saving of time and disk space, however, when there are so many, that FME places the tfw information in the tif to make it geotif without rewriting gigabytes (even tera) of data. The reverse operation: creating worldfiles or georeferencing .tab files without rewriting the images that do not want to duplicate would also be appreciated.
When using job service, its possible to specify the writer output to use for the notification on sucess/faliure. This is not possible when scheduling a job.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Add the ability to search FMEPedia for posts referencing a specific version of FME Things change so quickly that often the search results in FMEpedia aren't relevant to my version of FME. I'd love to be able to limit the search to only specific versions of FME. "Drape images over surfaces" version=fme2018 or something. Or maybe another dropdown beside the Spaces and Explore menus? The posts from 2010 aren't very relevant in some cases.
For Rooftop Geocoding.
Add a function to copy/paste tester parameters between different transformers. E.g. if I have a number of conditions set in a tester which I want to use in a condition when creating an attribute or in a new testfilter I now have to recreate the whole conditional. A copy/paste or import from transformer function would make life easier.
Instead of making the Excel writer even more complex, we should move to an Excel styler transformer that allows for setting the output style for each record (feature/row/cell) and the whole sheet, separately from the writer and entirely dynamically, based on attributes.This should be similar to transformers like PDFStyler, ChartGenerator, HTMLReportGenerator etc. and allow for settings like font, colors, alignment, formatting, cell protection, formulae, borders, conditional formatting, cell validation/dropdowns, filtering, inserting images, transposing, pivot tables, hyperlinks etc. There could be an Excel-style table in the transformer that allows to assign an attribute to each cell and make the above settings based on other attributes.There are already a number of ideas around regarding Excel that could be united in this solution (filters, styles, fonts, template).
Add buttons or context menu options to transformers to navigate to the previous and following transformer(s). This is especially useful in large workspaces whith far-away transformer connections where pannig to the joining transformers can be cumbersome. This could look similar to the buttons that appear when connecting transformers.
Based on this question (and the answer that it is not possible in an userfriendly way):https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/42334/styling-excel-cells-in-the-writer.htmlI would like to suggest allowing the Styling options in the Excel writer to take attribute values.This would allow conditional styling values for different cell values.
I want to share with you one of my reference project that I did recently in middle east (Oman) for one of the telecommunication sector Called TRA - Telecommunications Regulatory Authority The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) was established in 2002, to liberalize and regulate the telecommunications services in the Sultanate of Oman. In Oman there are two main operators (Omantel and Ooredoo) they provide telecommunication services and internet , the idea from the project to reflect the data collected by TRA on the map to show the internet coverage and call performance . We used FME desktop and FME server , through FME desktop we build the workflow to process the data enter usefully the data updated every month , the input data is point data (Lat , Lon , ID , signal) our methodology used to calculate the majority values for the signals and pullulated as Hex with three different colors , To get more info you can use the below link :- https://qos.tra.gov.om/loadMap;jsessionid=06CZAkQrS9_hgCQMjOsW5i4xcUv1GELwqsC58tIU.tra-qos-pro-ap0?locale=en https://fmecommunity-ideas.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/untitled.png">

Hi,I would love for the possibility to add multiple output ports on both python transformers.
***Note from Migration:*** Original Title was: Rename MSWordStyler to WordStyler or ExcelStyler & PowerPointStyler to MSExcelStyler & MSPowerPointStyler Why MSWordStyler vs ExcelStyler & PowerPointStyler ?Why not :WordStyler, ExcelStyler & PowerPointStylerorMSWordStyler, MSExcelStyler & MSPowerPointStyler ?
I would like to suggest, if there is a way to provide small installation of FME such that it can execute workbenches thru command prompt or converting workbenches as exe files and perform translation. This will help us to provide the workbenches to non-FME users.
Make it even easier to load/retrieve/query/update SAP HANA spatial data
I nearly always have rejected Features and creating a new workbench always Fails my translations.But until now there is no possibility to Change the Default-Setting for new workbenches in FME-Options
The modules seem to be very powerful on manipulating XML and JSON.Modules | Zorba - The NoSQL Query ProcessorIt would be nice if we could use the functions provided by those modules within XQuey expressions executed by XML/JSON transformers.
