File Management

Through Windows Explorer, you can view summary information about FME-generated files without having to start FME and open the file. For Workbench files, this includes the reader, writer, and number of transformers. Float the cursor over a filename to see the information in a pop-up window.

You can also the view source and destination format in two additional columns in Windows Explorer:

  1. Open Windows Explorer, and go to the directory that contains your FME files.

  2. Right-click on an existing column heading to display the command menu, and select More.

  1. Scroll down and check the boxes labelled Readers and Writers.

  1. Click OK to display the columns in Windows Explorer.

NOTE: You will have to repeat these steps for each directory that you want to display the Readers and Writers columns.
