Configuration location
This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; and to Harlequin Core but not Harlequin MultiRIP
Harlequin Core configurations for the clrip
skin have traditionally been found in the SW/TestConfig
directory. From Harlequin 12.0 configurations are now discovered by default using the %configps%
device. This device is normally mounted as %os%TestConfig/
, a sub-directory of the %os%
device, corresponding to the SW/TestConfig
location, so no difference in behavior will be observed by default.
Configurations can now also be accessed from other locations in the filesystem. The clrip -c
option can be used to set configurations as follows:
clrip -c CMYKComposite300dpi job.pdf
Find the configuration in %configps%CMYKComposite300dpi
, normally located in SW/TestConfig/CMYKComposite300dpi
. This is the same as the default behavior in Harlequin Core 11 and before.
clrip -c C:\Users\me\myconfig job.pdf
Use a configuration from a specific file path. The file path will be automatically mounted on a filesystem device. UNC paths of the form \\machine\share\myconfig
are also supported on Windows.
clrip -c "%C%Users/me/myconfig" job.pdf
Use a configuration from a specified PostScript name. This form can use any PostScript device name that can be used to read a file, including absolute devices.
If you wish to change the way configurations are handled, you may mount a different device as %configps%
. This device must support filename iteration, and opening and reading files. Mounting a different device as %configps%
allows configurations to be put in a different location in the filesystem, transformed dynamically from another form, dynamically generated, and/or dynamically filtered according to other hardware-specific criteria.
