Longer filename

Top  Previous  Next

After you enabled Quick Save, and chosen Method 3 (Text content in crop area) to name output file, you might probably encounter conflicts in file naming when you quick save two passages beginning with similar text.

 

For example, if you have cropped two paragraphs both beginning with 'Microsoft Windows 8 Technical Preview Conference', and the default length of output file name, by design, is 20 characters, and your second saving will overwrite your first saving when you Quick Save them one by one. In this case, you need to increase the length to 50 or more to avoid the conflict.

 

To adjust the length of the output file name, follow the steps,

 

1. Start PDF Snipping Tool

2. Go to the menu Options->General Settings... or click the General Settings button config on the tool bar

3. Enable Quick Save (bypassing save-as dialog when Ctrl+S is triggered)

4. Set the file naming convention to 'Text content in crop area'

5. Double-click the 'File naming using' label

6. You will be prompted to set the new length of the output file name
