Kari and Paul and anyone else interested,I've fixed the non-starting bug that Kari found, and I've made the tray icon a separate script so that the Information menu won't get in the way of processing files. I've also made the program more reliable in general, I hope. Kari, if you specify the output file as something like PDF.PS or PDFanything.PS, etc., then the PDF should be written to the destkop, not to the %TEMP% folder (which is what happens if you specify PDFTEMP.PS). This wasn't working reliably before, but I hope it's working reliably now. I'm not sure I understand what you (Kari) are asking for about the PDF files created by the program. I think you are asking for an option that allows something like this: You type a print command in XyWin, and the current document is printed to a PDF named something like:
C:\Path\To\A\Folder\PDFoutput.pdfOr ar you simply asking to write to the desktop folder but with a default name like PDFoutput.pdf?
Is that right?And then, are you asking for an option to number the output files incrementally, something like this:
C:\Path\To\A\Folder\PDF0003.PDF C:\Path\To\A\Folder\PDF0004.PDFNow, on a related point, if you want to specify the name and path of the output PDF file, you can already do that by writing a Save/Get that performs the steps described in the last paragraph of the page about this system. Briefly, your macro should tell XyWrite to create a plain text file named PDFNAME.TMP in the watched folder with the full path that you want to use for your PDF; then print the current document to a print file named D:\Path\To\Watched\Folder\PDF.PS (or something similar).
