How to customize the name of the edf (eyelink) file?

Hi,

I have noticed that at the moment, the edf file is saved in the format "subjectid.edf", is there a way of customizing the name of the output edf file (e.g., with customized abbreviations of the name of the experiment + subject id)? I have tried to add /file command under <eyetracker></eyetracker>, but an error message popped up saying the file output is controlled by eyelink instead of inquisit. Thank you in advance for your help!
