Now you can work with each window independently without other windows being affected. These frustrations have been solved in FileMaker 16. When trying to maximize, minimize, or restore windows the actions taken on one window affected for all the windows often yielding undesirable results. Alternately, you could expand the parent window, and try to move the individual windows within the parent window, but it made it difficult to work with separate windows. You could only move the entire parent window, and all other open windows would move with it. In all Windows versions of FileMaker Pro prior to FileMaker 16, the interface was an MDI interface. For example, you can move a SDI window to a second monitor, allowing you to view separate windows on each monitor. With SDI, each open window is independent of all other windows, allowing you to move it wherever you want. This is in contrast to MDI (Multiple Document Interface) where multiple open windows reside within a single parent application window. It’s called SDI (Single Document Interface) windows. The advantage of this feature alone in FileMaker 16 makes it a must-do upgrade for any Windows user. Ironically, this feature has been around for decades on the Mac platform, but now is finally available on Windows. One of the most valuable but overlooked new features of FileMaker Pro 16 is a change that was made on the Windows platform.
