Workpace statistics

Reading the *.fmw with FME (using a TEXT READER) and counting for instance TRANSFORMER occurences or something? Nothing within the FME environment AFAIK.

Thanks ! It worked.

 

With WinXP, the number of transformer is displayed in tooltip : 1540 transformers !

Wow 1SpatialDave, very usefull!

Yes, long ago we did a shell extension for Windows XP that showed a bunch of metadata about a workspace. I think you could see the information in the windows explorer table view by exposing more columns as well. 

 

Sadly, the interfaces we used went away with WIndows 7.  I realize this is useful so we'll look at bringing it back.

 

 

Or maybe we should just make a .fmw READER for FME that would tell us things like this :-)
