Section titled “May 29, 2026”

Genie 2.0 (Build 35), release 2026.05, WebUI 2026.05.29.1

  • Added LAYOUT mode, a dedicated workflow for generating FileMaker layout object XML that you can review, copy, and paste manually in FileMaker Layout mode.
  • Added copied layout-object injection: copy selected objects in FileMaker, inject them in Genie, and use them as the selected edit set for the next LAYOUT prompt.
  • Added Layout Preflight so Genie can check for missing user-answerable details before generating layout XML.
  • Added the Layout XML Ready result card with Preview XML and Copy for Paste actions.
  • Added value lists to Genie’s metadata context, improving prompts and LAYOUT mode work that need existing FileMaker value lists.
  • Expanded layout object support for common object groups and copied-object preservation, including fields, text, buttons, shapes, lines, portals, tabs, slides, popovers, panels, graphics, charts, and web viewers where supported.
  • Improved object-level layout behavior, including support for tooltips, object names, tab order, hide conditions, conditional formatting, field placeholders, portal filters, selected tab/slide panels, and verified existing-script triggers.
  • Improved LAYOUT mode styling so visual style requests can produce cleaner pasted results without turning style requests into blocking preflight questions.
  • Improved Anthropic / Claude compatibility for LAYOUT mode and CODE generation, especially around requests that previously hit provider structured-output limits.
  • Improved provider compatibility and local validation for LAYOUT mode while keeping generated layout work copy-only and separate from CODE apply.
  • The Genie menu bar icon can now open Genie directly from macOS, so you do not need to go through Script Workspace just to bring the assistant window forward.
