Registry Settings - more information please

 Hi, and thank you for a great tool.

 

I have incorporated output to PDF via PDFCreator. Seems to work really well. A funny behavior in 1.4.2 seems to be fixed in the latest version. It kept choosing the token for the output folder even though another folder was specified. 1.4.3 seemed to correct this problem.

 

I have utilised the ability to control PDFCreator from within my application. I set the registry values immediately before printing, and it works great. 

There are a few registry settings that I am unclear on, and would appreciate some clarification

1) UseAutosaveDirectory    -  when does this get used? And what is the difference to "AutosaveDirectory"?

2) UpdateInterval - what are the units here (days, months) ? And how do you disable?

3) OptionsEnabled - what does this do?

4) RemoveAllKnownFileExtensions - from what?

Many thanks.

Phil

 Hello, 

Can anybody help with my request please.

Thanks

 To the Developers,

This is a little frustrating - I would have thought that somebody could have answered my questions by now. How come no reply ?

Hi,

 

sorry that it took a bit longer then usual to answer;

 

1: This needs to be set to 1 untill a small bug is fixed (1=yes, 0=no )

2: 0 is disable, the numbers refer to the ComboBox in the GUI

3: if set to 0, the user will still see the options, but won´t be able to change them

4: from the title of created files, see http://www.pdfforge.org/content/hidden-settings

Robin

 Thank you so much for a reply.

Appreciate the explanations, but still unaware if the answer to my first question. I will certainly take your advice here, but I would still appreciate an answer to the question.

Hi,

 

the setting "UseAutosaveDirectory" is a boolean (yes/no), but at the moment it is not working, you can´t use autosave without using an autosave directory.

Sorry if i’attach my question to this discussion , but i need an answer quickly , i autosave but when a file is created the application leave a directory with the name of the file
is possible to remove it automatically ?

Thank you

Hi,

yes you can probably use the title replacement from the application settings to remove it or use a different token. Which application are you printing from and which token are you currently using for the filename?

Best regards,

Robin

Thank you for the answer , i use pdf creator and in autosave i set up the name of the file with datetime
like this "T:\ DateTime:yyyyMMddHHmmss " and it create in the path t: a folder with the name of the file empty and the correct files .pdf

Hi,

the path and the filename need to be configured in two different locations, you shouldn’t add a path to the filename. E.g. for the filename use only <DateTime:DateTime:yyyyMMddHHmmss> and for the path use T:\

Best regards,

Robin

thank you very much , it’ works
