Autosaving errors #117

Open ThinkEV opened 1 year ago

ThinkEV commented 1 year ago

Version 0.9.0 Autosaving: Filename template: Document <DateTime:yyyyMMddHHmmss> JD Autosaving: Folder name template: N:\printeroutput\<DateTime:yyyyMMddHHmmss> JD

Today I printed three documents shortly after each other. These folders were created:

N:\printeroutput\20231023084417 JD
N:\printeroutput\20231023084431 JD
N:\printeroutput\20231023084443 JD

I want one file per folder, but the second folder was empty and the file that was supposed to go in there was saved into the next folder.

N:\printeroutput\20231023084417 JD\Document 20231023084417 JD.pdf
N:\printeroutput\20231023084431 JD\[ empty folder ]
N:\printeroutput\20231023084443 JD\Document 20231023084443 JD.pdf
N:\printeroutput\20231023084443 JD\Document 20231023084443 JD 2.pdf

The processing must have been stuck somehow. If this happens, the destination folder should not be changed!

from the clawPDF.log:

I think that after this error the print was retried by the printer spooler and therefore resulted in two files at the same timestamp. Mybe it is due to a race condition. I have got a post-processing tool that renames all direcories and files and replaces " " by "_".
