Subject:Extract Regions naming issue? Posted by: luces1 Date:9/11/2005 11:44:53 AM Good day, I am using SF8.0b and I am having an issue with the naming when extracting regions. What happens is... when I select extract regions and then I put a name prefix and then select extract, I receive a message that says "Fille xxxx already exists do you want to replace or create a new file?" The problem is that no file exists in that folder or any other folder that I am extracting to and when I select "no" in order to create a new file, SF only creates(extracts) the first region and even then it doesn't add the complete prefix to the file name. Any suggestions? Perhaps there is an option that I have selected incorrectly. Please help out b/c I got a ton of files that I am processing in this fashion. Thanks,luces.

Or use Tools> Scripting. There's a Script for that process in there, though I have not tried it. I think that script may work in Batch conv. also.

I used your suggestion and it is a workaround, but I still can't figure out why SF would all of a sudden start acting this way. I did do an update to SP2 (had to for some reason that I can't remember now) so maybe I will reinstall and see if it goes back to how it was before. Anyhow, thanks again for taking time to respond. luces

If your going to reinstall SF, you could try the repair process if the set-up files were not deleted. Select repair, in the uninstall dialog. Probably won't help but worth a try.

Go to "Options> Preferences> Labels" and select "Regions Labels", and change the parameters...
Or use Tools> Scripting. There's a Script for that process in there, though I have not tried it.
