PTE Exe File Fault

[jevans]

I have just noticed that if a create an exe file from a PTE show then "save as" to change the PTE file to another name, that clicking on the "create" button, results in the original exe file being overwritten. I would have thought that, having changed the basic PTE file, a new exe file with the same changed name would result. I am using version 4.43.

I agree.

Some users informed me about this moment, and in the next version 5.00 PTE will ask name of EXE file on "Create" button click after "Save as".

I am sure that all you "regulars" will know this, but a friend of mine who has been using PTE for much longer than me pointed out that if you use the "file menu" and use "create show as" option, you can change the .exe file name. So use this instead of the "create" button. This gets round the problem.

If you are wanting to save the basic 'created' file before making any further adjustments copy the basic to another folder and change it's name there. Pto E won't go looking as the original is still in place to be overwritten.

Hope this helps.
