Dear Margherita, what about increasing complexity and adding a true spatial database in the middle? You could use PostgreSQL as a shared database that works well with both. I think both QGIS and FileMaker would benefit a lot by having an ORDBMS to help them to manage data in a more efficient way. Using a database server (any DBMS supported by both programs) would avoid lock-in and would open other research groups to use the tool they prefer to handle their data. c
