With every new FME release, dozens of improvements quietly arrive: some headline-worthy, others easy to overlook, and some that end up becoming the secret ingredients to smoother, smarter workflows. In this lightning-talk–style session, our panel of Safers is showcasing their favourite release highlights: capabilities you might not be using yet, but once you see them in action, you might wonder how you lived without them. Think of this as a guided tour through the “oh wow, that’s possible?” updates hiding in recent releases. Whether it’s a tiny UI improvement or a brand-new way to build user experiences, each pick has the potential to reshape how you work with FME every day. Our Safer’s picks that you can look forward to include: -Mark, with Dynamic Parameters in Flow Apps: Create brand-new types of workflows or apps with this new functionality, which was once complex to achieve. -Divya, with the External Python Editor: Script and debug seamlessly in your preferred Python IDE for a smoother, more powerful development experience. -Donal, with FME Form Canvas & Parameter Annotations: Build and manage workspaces more smoothly and consistently across the platform, with a revamped canvas and helpful in-context notes. -Sienna, with FME Form Delighters: Enjoy small, thoughtful UI enhancements designed to complement larger component updates, adding an element of surprise and enjoyment for our users. -Crystal, with External Browser Authentication in FME Form: Sign in using your preferred browser for supported OAuth 2.0 connections – keeping authentication aligned with today’s best security practices.

- 16. Why External Editor forPython? ● Originated from a highly voted idea on the FME Community ● Complex Python scripts can be hard to author in the basic in-app editor ● Integrate seamlessly with existing Python editors users already rely on
- 17. Slide Title Enable Python usersto customize FME workflows using familiar IDEs. Goal Block Key Bring your Python IDE into your FME workflow Result The built-in scripting makes it difficult to explore the FME Python modules. Launch an external IDE to view type hints while writing code. Less context switching and faster iteration for Python users.
- 18.
- 19. ● The externaleditor is for editing only. Python code still executes inside FME, not in the IDE. ● The feature is available anywhere Python can be authored: ○ Scripted parameter value (Python) ○ PythonCaller & PythonCreator ○ Python Startup & Shutdown Scripts ● More information on Knowledge Base. Key Takeaways External Editor for Python in FME
- 20. 4 FME Form Canvas &Parameter Annotations
- 21. ● Refreshed, modernicon set across the FME Form canvas ● Cleaner, more consistent visuals that are easier to scan ● Faster workflow building — less time searching, more time working ● A more cohesive look and feel across the entire FME platform ● One of those changes you barely notice… until you can’t imagine going back FME Form Canvas
- 22.
- 23. ● Add notesdirectly to workspace parameters ● Explain why a parameter exists, not just what it does ● Makes shared and long-lived workspaces much easier to understand ● Fewer “what does this control again?” moments ● A small feature that makes a big difference over time Parameter Annotations
- 24.
- 25. ● Enhanced UserExperience ● Unified Brand Representation ● Reduce Cognitive Load Key Takeaways ● Enhanced Documentation ● Workspace Efficiency ● Improved Workflow Understanding FME Form Canvas Upgrade Parameter Annotations

- 29. Easily Navigate Tunnels ●A new Pan (Upstream / Downstream) option is available when you right-click any object on the canvas. ● This menu lists all connected upstream or downstream objects, allowing you to select the exact object you want to navigate to. The feature supports tunnels as well as all connected objects, which are clearly identified by name (for example, Transformer1).
- 30. String Replacer ● TheStringReplacer transformer has been enhanced to support multiple replacement patterns within a single transformer. ● Previously, each StringReplacer could perform only one type of replacement, often requiring multiple transformers to handle different patterns.
- 32.
- 34. Optional Input Ports FMEnow supports optional Input Ports for transformers, allowing more flexible and intuitive transformer behavior without requiring extra configuration. With this update, transformers can now operate without a connected input feature when designed to do so, eliminating the need for placeholder features like the Creator and reducing friction for new users starting out.
- 35. Editing History Tables TheHistory table is a chronological record of every edit made to a workspace during the current session. FME now allows users to rename text descriptions in the History panel. This gives you control over how changes are labeled, helping you clearly identify and understand modifications throughout your workflow.
