Just to let everyone know, such a feature has already been added to the
FME 2007 beta releases. 'Transformers -> Upgrade Transformers' will
bring up a list of all the 'old' transformers -- ones that have a newer
version available. You can select which ones to upgrade.
I should add a warning here: Upgrading transformers is potentially
dangerous. If a transformer has changed dramatically, upgrading a
transformer may cause it to function differently, or not at all (this is
why we don't upgrade them automatically). Make sure you back up your
workspace before upgrading, and ensure the workspace still runs as
expected after upgrading.
Good luck!
