File name produced needs a new option.

Post by Sherlock »

You can customise the PDF output name with items like <date> <time> you can customise the PDF with various extensions but none are suitable for the output we would like.

The 5DF .. product has a setting if there is a duplicate name to add _1 or _2 or _3 etc.

Why this method is better is it is easy on the brain that to work out this is later than this an not a big GUID or long time string. The time string has an issue where the print run can have multiple reports in the same second and overwrites the other early one.

OK is there something missing I am not using or should this be added?

How about <noduplicate> and the extension checks for same file name and the latest number to use like _1 or 2_ or even _10 or _11 whatever is required to be used.

Great for software testing of reports over and over in debugging.

Should be easy to do. Phil

I agree this would be a good feature to have. Is it possible?

Is there any response from the developers on this simple modification to BullZip ?
