View Full Version : Typed in output-file name is ignored.

I am using PrimoPDF (among other things) to test out the print-routine of my web-site.
The proposed name is OK with IE6 and FireFox, but Opera suggests a name containing an asterisk (*).
When I overwrite the suggested name with a valid one, the entered information is ignored and I get an error-message, that the filename contains an illegal character.
Only when I change it in the Browse window, will it accept a corrected name.
This error could be remedied in either of two ways:
1.) accepting the input and checking if tha path exists. If not ask if it should be created.
2.) lock the input box, so no name - and nonexistent path - can be entered -
forces clicking on the browse-button.

Either of these solutions is easy to implement and saves a lot of problems.
(If the browser-proposed name is valid, but undesired, it will be still used, even if overwritten.)

This error was reported and it will be fixed so the path and name can be enter.

I am having the same problem. When is the fix due out? Can I download the old version until then?

I don't have an exact date of when this fix is expected but in the mean time you can change the path and filename by clicking on the "..." browse button to the right of the path. Any changes made in that location will be saved.

If you are still interested in using an older version you can download several different versions from the location below...

Thanks. As long as I have a way to save the name and path, I'm okay.
