Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and
all tasks because they are related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some
examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not
having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area (Task comments)that
lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed
with the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Rename
Rename action tasks are used to rename the job files they receive. Note that you can see how
each file is renamed via the Object Inspector when stepping through a process in Debug mode.
Input
Any job file, in any format.
Processing
The task renames the job file to the desired name, and changes the value of %f and %Fto
reflect the new name.
Output
The input data file is output, with the new name.
Properties
General tab
l
New file name: Enter the job file’s new name. In this variable property box, you may enter
static characters, variables, job information elements, data selections, or any combination
of these.
