Task manager: Print Files with Extension or Print ID

• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23
• Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct, Direct, Local, Total Care

Description:
How do you get files with extensions to print via the task manager? The file list of remote files does not show files with extension. I cannot see how it can be done by changing a setting in alephcom.ini.
 

Resolution:
The file extensions (print IDs) that can be shown in the GUI Task Manager are defined in xxx50/tab/tab_file_aut. 
If the tab_file_aut file exists but NO extensions are defined or if no file exists, then ALL files with or without extensions are shown. 
If the tab_file_aut file exists and specific extensions are defined, then only files with NO extension or with those extensions that match the definitions are shown.
Examples:
! Allow all files with or without extensions to display for a specific user ########## MASTER ! Allow all files with no extension or with a specific extension (noprint) to display to all users
noprint    ##########
! Allow all files with no extension or with a specific extension (printer01) to display to 3 specific users
printer01 CPPRINT ALEPH LEAH

If you want everyone to be able to see all print files, you could have just the single line:
########## ##########
