FME Quick Translator - prompt

Hi FME user,

 

I created a workbench FMW (script) in FME Desktop. The purpose of this script is to translate Oracle data to KMZ.

 

The tool is then delivered to my client in the FME format (FME Desktop, Save the file as: FME instead of fmw). This file is then used with FME Quick Translator.

 

My client asked if it was possible to change the name of the prompt window FME Quick Translator.

 

The pop-up window with the user settings is called fmequicktranslator and I wonder if it is possible to change the name to something else?

 

an idea?

Hi,

 

 

I found a way to add the GUI directive with FME Workbench. Check menu item [Tools] > [Edit Header] to open 'Workspace Header' editor window, we can then add a GUI directive.

 

When using 'Workspase Header' editor, since the editing result  will be saved to fmw / fme file and be able to reuse, I think this way is better than editing the fme file directly with a text editor.

I guess if they want to change it to a particular thing for once, they could change the name of the exe (fmequicktranslator.exe).

Hi Francis,

 

 

You can change the title of the window through editing directly the fme file to add a 'GUI' directive with 'TITLE' command. Open the fme file with a text editor, and add this line for example: GUI TITLE Oracle to KWZ   See more information about GUI directive here:
