The value of this operator adds the extension
.data
to all file names referenced when
using PostScript emulation file operators. To prevent the
.data
extension from being
added, issue the following PostScript emulation command:
statusdict begin
false setfilenameextend
end
To add the
.data
extension automatically again, issue:
statusdict begin
true setfilenameextend
end
The following example shows how to remove a file for the font
myfont
from the disk.
The PostScript emulation resource collection file name is
myfont.type1
. The
PostScript emulation command to remove the file is:
statusdict begin
false setfilenameextend
(%disk%myfont.type1)
deletefile
true setfilenameextend
end
For other file types, see page 6-6.
Note:
We recommend that you enable
setfilenameextend
as soon as possible
after you disable it. For example, the following PostScript emulation
commands generate an
undefinedfilename
error:
(%disk%iconimage) (w) file dup
(0f0606060686c6ff) writestring closefile
statusdict begin
false setfilenameextend
end
(%disk%iconimage) (r) file
%%[ Error: undefinedfilename; OffendingCommand: file ]%%
This occurs because the file name actually written to disk is
iconimage.data
. When
setfilenameextend
is enabled (the default), all PostScript emulation file operators
treat file name operands as
filename.data
; when disabled, they treat file name
operands literally.
If you receive unexpected
undefinedfilename
or similar errors, try toggling
setfilenameextend
and sending your print job again.
