About the FME Data Inspector

The FME Data Inspector is a Safe Software technology preview, intended to eventually replace the FME Universal Viewer. Although it maintains many of the same features as the FME Universal Viewer, the Data Inspector is cross-platform, it uses the latest display technology, and it supports 3D viewing.

For this release, you have the option to use either application.

To set the FME Data Inspector as your default Workbench data inspection application, go to Tools > FME Options > Workbench.

Why the option?

FME is used by a diverse group of worldwide users who work with countless different hardware and software configurations. Releasing the FME Data Inspector as a technology preview allows Safe Software to not only solicit feedback, but it also allows us to make sure that we get this feedback from the widest user base possible.

We believe this will result in the best overall user experience when we fully debut the FME Data Inspector.
