Remove prefix “job_***” from filenames? #19

Closed alexfazio closed 2 years ago

alexfazio commented 2 years ago

First of all, let me thank you for this fantastic utility. As you can see here it's extremely useful for DEVONthink users.

I didn't find anything about this in your resources, so I assume this is a feature request rather than a question...

Is there any possibility to set up RWTS-PDFwriter from Rod Yager to not add the prefix “job” to each new file?

I also find this tool very helpful and have a like request. The job and the integer would be great to be removed or at least moved to after the title. I have tried adjusting the source but nothing works

Unfortunately, the file name is completely under the control of the OS print system.

The printer driver can’t change it.

to help with the alexfazio, in this file in the source code. /RWTS-PDFwriter-master/sources/pdfwriter.m line451 you can do this: //snprintf(title, BUFSIZE, "job_%i %s", job, cmdtitle); snprintf(title, BUFSIZE, "%i %s", job, cmdtitle);

the "job_" disappears, but the %i cannot be removed without an complie error so your output file starts with a number now

change that and run the build script.sh and you have half the change done :)

the %i number does seem to be out of control of script as rodyager states. im still wasting time trying tho

rodyager commented 2 years ago

Ok.

Using

snprintf(title, BUFSIZE, “%s”, cmdtitle);

as the replacement line 451 should do the trick.

The one caution. It will overwrite a previously “printed” document with the same name.
