Settings - Save - When File exists: not saved

Post by Peter2 »

Driver 5.5 309. Win 7 x64

"Settings - Save - When File exists" only remembers the first three settings: "Overwrite / warning / autonumber".
The following settings "append / insert / ask" are only remembered during a current session of a software; after the restart of a software the highest value in registry "WhenExists" is 2 (first three settings - 0, 1, 2).

Bug or feature?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the post - please make sure that you are setting these options by accessing the Printing Preferences through the Control Panel, otherwise they are only saved on a per session basis.

Cheers,

Thank you.

It seems to be not a feature for me ...

Can it be modified via registry (using values 3, 4, 5 ..)?

Hi
manual changes in the registry are used by the software. I think all the possible options should be used in the Profile / registry. I can see no sense to not(!) store parts of an option-group.

Hi Peter,

Does your last post mean that you tried to change the value in the registry to e.g. 3, 4 or 5 and it had effect on the drivers for you?

Regards,
Stefan

Yes. I hope this feature will stay alive in the future

Yes, but the main target should be to make all the settings "storable" via the dialogue (see posting above).

Hi again Peter,

I was asked if I could reproduce this and the fact is I cannot. It is working perfectly for me and everyone in this office. The ticket exists but unless we can reproduce the issue we cannot address it.

Can you give me a step by step, preferably illustrated with screen shots, of how to reproduce this? I am at a loss.

Have any other users seen this?

regards

Thanks for the video Peter!

I've added the link for the video to the ticket and hopefully our devs will now be able to reproduce and fix this.

Stefan
