3.2.5. File name of the output files

EXTIF pro offers you two possibilities to determine the file names of the output files: You can either choose a file name from the file name dialog or you can have EXTIF pro set a default name for the output files:

In both cases, EXTIF pro asks your permission before overwriting any existing files of same name:

3.2.5.1. File name dialog

If you selected option “from file name dialog”, EXTIF pro offers you opportunity to select a file name from a dialog window:

For example: If you selected „C:\Temp\“ as the path and “AnyName” as document name, the file names will be, according to page number:

            C:\Temp\AnyName1.tif

            C:\Temp\AnyName2.tif

            C:\Temp\AnyName3.tif   etc.

Thus obeying the following syntax:

<path> + <document name> + <page number> + „.tif“

If the document has only one page or if you have only selected one of several pages for printing, then the <page number> is left out.

3.2.5.2. Default name

If you select the option “use default name”, EXTIF pro automatically composes the file name according to the settings of properties “Color space and file“ and “Default path/root”, observing the following rules:

·         either the Default path/root describes a path, which is actually present in the directory structure of your computer, and ends on a backslash (“\”), then EXTIF pro will save the picture in files named:

<default path/root> + <document name> + "_" + <color space specifier> + "_" + <page number>

Example:

If default path is "C:\programs\DriverLab\EXTIF pro\Output\", the output file will have the name:

C:\programs\DriverLab\EXTIF pro\Output\Microsoft Word - AnyName_CMYK_1.tif

·         or the Default path/root describes a path which is actually present in the directory structure of your computer, followed by an identifier, which does not end on a backslash (“\"), then EXTIF pro will save the picture in files named:

<default path/root> + "_" + <color space specifier > + "_" + <page number>

If default path is "C:\programs\DriverLab\EXTIF pro\Output\AnyName", the output file will have the name:

C:\programs\DriverLab\EXTIF pro\Output\AnyName_CMYK_1.tif

However, if the indicated path is not present in the directory structure of your computer, EXTIF pro will notify this by a message and will cancel printing process:

Again, if the document has only one page or if you have only selected one of several pages for printing, then the <page number> is left out.
