Javascript: bPromptToOverwrite does nothing

[Peter2]

I have this code for a forms-button:

Code: Select all

var bezeichnung = this.getField("DESIGNATION");

var nAntwort = app.alert({
    cMsg: "Gelesene Bezeichnung zur Speicherung: " + (bezeichnung.value), 
    cTitle: "Info zur Dateispeicherung",
    nType: 1,
    nIcon: 2
});



if ( nAntwort == 1 )
// speichern
(
    this.saveAs({
    cPath: ("/d/xxx/" + bezeichnung.value + ".pdf"),
    bPromptToOverwrite: false,
    bCopy: false
    })
);

It works OK, but no matter if I set "bPromptToOverwrite" to true or false - the existing output is always overwritten. Why?
(I hope it's not based on my version 8 of PDF..)

Hello Peter2,

This has been passed on to our devs to look at.
I believe I managed to reproduce the issue (the value of that prompt does seem to be ignored).

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Peter2,

bug confirmed by the devs. We will squash it. The ticket (internal only) for reference is RT#6267: Javascript: bPromptToOverwrite does nothing
I do not have an ETA for delivery of this fix, that will ultimately be at the development teamleader's discretion.

I have the same problem. It would be fantastic if this could be solved quickly.

The ticket is open and has a developer assigned to it. I am hoping it will be in the next build, I've made a note that people are asking about it.

The best we can hope for is that this makes it into the next scheduled build which is weeks away. I don't expect to see anything before then at the earliest I'm afraid

[oettermann]

Is there any news on this issue?

Best
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

I am afraid that there hasn't been any development in that ticket, and there is no new information for us to add here. We will see if we can bump the priority of that one a bit!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Fixed in 10.1.0.
