In some cases files will be exported from a batch with the same name as another file in the same output folder. In these cases it might be best to name the file with a different filename, instead of having SimpleIndex append to the existing file. This option will allow the software to prompt the user if a file is being saved with the same name as a file in the output folder and give the user a chance to type a different name.

Instructions:

  1. Close SimpleIndex
  2. Right click on the Job Configuration File (.sic file format) that needs this this setting
  3. Select Open With… and then pick the preferred text editing software, which is Notepad by default
  4. for “PROMPT_BEFORE_APPEND”
  5. Change “false” to “true”
  6. EX. <PROMPT_BEFORE_APPEND>true</PROMPT_BEFORE_APPEND>
  7. Close and Save the file
