In the end it is backup only, not meant for normal workflow. The issue is that it doesn’t save the original file. > I tried to use the backup directory, however if I use it all the "\" are > converted to "!" > which does not help the problem in identifying the correct path. You mean, you are using '"' chars in file names? Normally I'd expect the path-separators to be converted to '!'. > Thanks for your help. > > Best regards, > Sven Diermann Kornel
