Preferences File

The preferences-file flag is used to override the default preferences file. When the user changes an attribute on the Sign and Save UI the change is remembered for the next time the application is started in a preferences file. Normally a default preferences file is used. This flag will cause the application to use a different preferences file. If the file does not exist, it will be created with default attributes.

Auto Save

When a signature is accepted by the user with autosave=off a dialog box pops up prompting them to save it. With autosave=on the signature is instantly saved without a prompt. This requires that autosave-pattern, autosave-path, and autosave-exporter be set. The pattern can be any valid filename. The following substitutions are allowed:

 ${seq}, ${date}, ${time}. For example:

SignAndSave.exe –autosave=on –autosave-path=c:/temp –autosave-exporter=PNGExporter –autosave-pattern=signature-${seq}-${date}-${time} 

will produce a file with a name similar to signature-1-2015-01-05-10-26-18.png

The state of autosave attributes are stored in the preferences file.

Examples

List command line arguments and exit:

SignAndSave.exe –help

Start Sign and Save in plugin (skip the save dialog, save as indicated by command line arguments) mode, tell it export the saved signature as a PNG and save it in the Windows temporary directory:

SignAndSave.exe -p -e PNGExporter -o “C:\Windows\Temp\Test.png”

or

SignAndSave.exe –plugin –exporter PNGExporter –output-file “C:\Windows\Temp\Test.png”

Start Sign and Save in plugin mode as before, but discard saved preferences, restrict colors (black on transparent), and hide buttons:

SignAndSave.exe -p -e PNGExporter -o “C:\Windows\Temp\Test.png” –skip-preferences –hide-options –hide-buttons –fg-color #000000 –bg-trans –zoom 200 –pen-style InkWell
