Application file names

Post by Mariovaisman »

Hello,

This is a comment related to version 7.1, that is different in 6.3
When Cspro starts, shows the list of pff files with the names of the .pen files. This situation create confussions when try to start an application, because sometimes I have same program names executed by different pff file names, and now I see the same name in the list.

I didn't used version 7.0 at this time, and don't know the behaivor for this version is like 6.3 or like 7.1

Thanks

Mario

You are correct that this behavior changed from 6.3 to 7.0. It was an unintentional change that we will fix. In the meantime, if you add a description to your pff files, CSEntry will use the description instead of the filename. You can add the description to the pff in the first section of the file:

Code: Select all

[Run Information]
Version=CSPro 7.1
AppType=Entry
Description=your description goes here
or more simply you can use the pff editor (right click on pff file and choose edit) and enter the description there.

I think we had not noticed the change in behavior because we always set the description.
