You can now move tables, forms, methods, and more from one database to another via the drag and drop feature. Objects can be moved from the Tool box, Explorer, and Form editor. This replaces the importing and exporting function of 4D Insider.
Follow these steps to move objects from one database to another:
-Run two instances of 4D Developer
-Open the two databases you would like to move objects between
-Drag and Drop objects between the two applications
When an object is moved dependent objects can be moved as well. You can move an entire form, including the objects, the object methods, and even project methods that it calls. Some objects are actually inseparable. The list of objects that can be moved and their inseparable child objects is below:
| Movable Objects | Inseparable Objects |
| Lists | |
| Style Sheets | |
| Formats/Filters | |
| Pictures from Library | |
| Help tips | |
| Project Forms | Form methods |
| Table Forms | Form methods |
| Project methods | |
| Folders / Subfolders | |
| Tables | Fields, triggers |
| All form objects (buttons, variables, etc.). When moving a form, all the objects it contains are moved with it. | Object methods |
