Print Page Setup Header option &n does not work for files loaded via FTP

    I am using UE 16.00 portable version. Most of my files that I work on are Unix files ftp'd via account manager. When I print a file, UE prints complete path and filename in the header. I went in Page Setup and changed the &f to &n. However, it still prints the complete filename including the very long FTP (Unix) path.

    Is there anything I can do to make it work.

    Thanks in advance.

      I can confirm this issue even with UE v21.30.0.1016. It looks like the file name parsing functions for printing are not supporting FTP file paths/names. And nobody else has detected and reported this issue before to IDM support by email.

      The only workarounds I can think of are:
      1. storing the file with same name as on FTP server into a local directory using Save As command and then print it, or
      2. copy the name of the file into header/footer in page setup before printing the file.

        Thanks Mofi for the reply and for the workaround.

        I personally feel that I should live with the bug until such time IDM fixes it. Saving every file on local drive just for the sake of printing seems like too much work for me.

        I only hope that IDM fixes in their future releases.
