I agree that this issue is a matter of differing opinions on what 'expected' behavior is. It appears to me that the simplest solution is simply to allow the desired behavior to be set through cups-pdf.conf This appears to have been done but I am running into a problem: - I want cups-pdf to overwrite a file if it has the same name. - I have placed (or set, can't remember if it was there originally or not) the overwrite key in cups-pdf.conf
### Key: Overwrite ## Hopefully this will enable overwriting of same filenames. ### Default: ie before I added this jobs were failing silently when the filename already existed. Overwrite 1 - cups-pdf still does not overwrite files with the same name and I have resorted to deleting/renaming them manually before printing a new one. Is Overwrite an official supported key? Does it clash or depend on any other key's that anyone knows of? cups-pdf used to overwrite (some time ago on a different system - now defunct) but I do not know why it won't do it now. Any help greatly appreciated Thanks. -- [Tribe5] cups-pdf do not overwrite existing pdf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
