![]() Don't even get me started on how freaking useless the names are on the TIFF Downloader (PrintConsole never was much more than a queue program, but christ, who was the dumbass that thought "Job ID:151 Sep.1" was relevant to the monkey sticking metal into the box?) Why file names can't stick/be honored from Mac to PC land is beyond me, it's a problem these engineers have been claiming they've conqured for the entire 15 years I've been doing this crap. So instead of being able to see what the item is after the customer name, I get multiple PDF's called _1A.PDF and _1A.1.PDF _1B.1.PDF, ad nauseam. Would be useful, except there's multiple jobs/items/sigs w/ this form, and our naming convention is Job number_Customer name_Job/Item name (e.g. I've switched to using SMB to connect to the server, and it still takes useful file names and turns them into DOS-like useless crap. I constantly get truncated names on files, and using job numbers for the beginning, while incredibly helpful to me, is apparently too much for 4.0. I'm still seriously disappointed w/ the Prinergy naming. Yeah, would be nice if we had a button to fiddle w/ to affect that, wouldn't it? Installation, integration and professional services for our products MassTransit: automated file transfer solution for Windows & Macintosh Glebe Rd, Suite 800, Arlington, VA 22201 USA You can download a Kodak Tech Bulletin on how to configure Prinergy and ExtremeZ-IP in another article here: ġ100 N. You can read about file name limitations on various systems in our knowledgebase article here. The other good news is that that AFP runs on TCP/IP so you can eliminate AppleTalk forever. The good news is that, starting with the AFP 3.0 protocol that shipped with OS X, AFP has supported long file names (up to 255 characters) and Unicode filenames as does ExtremeZ-IP. ![]() Group Logic believes that Microsoft has no plans to update the AFP protocol supported as SFM has been deprecated from Server 2008. SFM (Microsoft Services for Macintosh) uses the older AFP 2.2 protocol that does not support any OS X functionality such as long filenames. I believe that the culprit here is SFM which, as Rob states, is limited to 31 character file names. Thanks for considering ExtremeZ-IP as a solution. ![]() If you have further questions, please call your local Response Center and they will be happy to get things sorted out for you. If you turn off page splitting and set the file delivery options so the Refined file goes into a different folder than the original, the file name should not change. The other time Evo changes the filename is when you ask for the resulting file to go into the same directory as the original. This appends a ".p#" to the file name so you can tell which page is which when it comes time to imposing your pages. If you look at the file on your Windows box you will see the whole filename but viewing it from a Mac that has the share mounted with afp, the name will be truncated.īy default Evo has Page Splitting enabled in the Normalize section of your Process Template. Network protocol matters because afp only supports up to 31 characters in filenames. > Seriously? If the file name is proper (no illegal characters, etc.), why does the network protocol affect the naming of the file (the resource fork is gone in OSX, it's not that?) The only saving grace, is it keeps the first 6 digits (my job #), and the last number is +usually+ the correct page number (a real bitch when you've got big books). Input to Prinergy: 048086_GlobaLinxSpanish.pdf I shit-you-not, this just happened tonight: Now, I take this snazzy file to my EVO box, refine it, and get a file back called: "048086~3.PDF" I now know which source file made which PDF, since they have the same name. I make a PDF of that file (somehow - distiller or export from Adobe Apps), and I get a file called "123456_CorpBroSpanish.pdf". So I make my source file something polite and relevant like "123456_CorpBroSpanish" and tag it w/ the appropriate extension (.indd. Its actually a bigger problem for me w/ refining the 1-ups! I like to send the refinded PDF's to certain customer's as proofs, so that they get the "Ripped' file (they like that.
