Re: PrintFilePrinter rewritten

[Kari Eveli <lexitec@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Edward,
I am getting now the attached dialog after installing (file_missing). I 
tried reinstalling and uninstalling and reinstalling. Makes no 
difference. Nevertheless, the system seems to work.

These files are present:
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\PrintFilePrinter.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\unins000.dat
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\unins000.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\unins000.msg
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\Utility
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\Utility\DOSPrinter.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\Utility\gswin32c.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\Utility\pcl6.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\Utility\PDFtoPrinter.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\Utility\PrintFilePrinter.ico
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\Utility\RawPrint.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\PrintFilePrinter\Utility\txt2pdf.exe
Now the program produces numerical filenames based on date that do not 
necessarily show the differenciating digit (filenames.jpg), maybe 
something traditional like in filenames_8.3.jpg would be better. (If a 
file is dragged to the recycle bin and another file is written to 
Desktop, the order of files is not obvious in the current naming system).
