Research direction

Start by inspecting the FileMaker Snippets extension and its existing snippet-management commands to find how they use FmClipTools. Add one command for each clipboard conversion direction without requiring snippet storage. Done means both commands are available through Raycast and convert clipboard content between FileMaker’s native format and XML.

Description

Add two new commands that operate directly on clipboard content, converting between FileMaker's native clipboard format and XML without requiring snippet storage.

Currently, the extension requires creating and managing snippets to convert FileMaker objects to/from XML. While this is valuable for reusable snippets, there are common scenarios where developers simply need quick one-off conversions.

These new commands would expose the underlying FmClipTools conversion functionality that the extension already uses for snippet management, but in a more streamlined workflow. This would make FmClipTools' powerful conversion capabilities conveniently accessible through Raycast's command interface.

Who will benefit from this feature?

Every FileMaker developer.
