This means that every time you now launch Claris FileMaker, the file that you chose will open automatically. Open a File When Claris FileMaker Pro is Launchedĭo you have a single file that you open every time you launch Claris FileMaker? Well, Claris just made it easier than ever to open a file by creating a preference that allows you to choose a local or hosted file to open at startup.

Dark Mode gets applied to just about every aspect of Claris FileMaker including toolbars, inspector panes, dialogs, and even the script workspace.
