Separation based on Filename of Imported Document

strotelli

I am trying to create a separation profile and I was wondering if there is any way to separate the pages by the filename in which they were scanned into Grooper. In my particular case I am having grooper scan a folder on my desktop that has 4 files in it. Later in the process when I am trying to separate, I want to use that original filename... is that possible or is there an easier way?

I'm a little unsure exactly what you're asking here. When electronic files are imported into Grooper, they will already be separated by file and they will maintain the file name of the original file. If your end goal is trying to maintain the native version's file name and use that as a field during export, then you can use a Default Value Expression which would set the value of a field to that Native Version's file name. Am I in alignment with the question you're asking?

@GrooperGuru , could you give an example of the DefaultValueExpression you mentioned.

@bwhite made a custom script to accomplish something similar to this that he might be able to share.

I've started a new topic in an upcoming section of Grooper x Change that has a big list of commonly used Default Value Expressions. This link is currently only accessible to moderators, but it will be launched here in the next few weeks for use by all members.  In the meantime, here are a few that directly relate to this thread:

• DirectCast(Link,FileSystemLink).FilePath Inserts the full path to a linked File System Object.
• Folder.NativeVersionFileName Inserts the File Name of the folder's Native Version File (including the file extension)
• IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Folder.NativeVersionFileName) Inserts the File Name of the folder's Native Version File (excluding the file extension)
