The error window displays information about problems that occur while processing files, images and proofs.
Any errors that occur while PhotoFolio is running are reported to this window. It contains a list of the files on which the error occured, a description of the error and the path the files came from.
Errors are reported to this window regardless of whether the window is visible or not. The error window can be opened and closed from any window that logs errors in the error window.
The error window is global to all windows of PhotoFolio.
Errors are logged on a which window created the error basis. For example, if you open a browse window, files that aren't images are logged as errors. They are listed under the browse windows title in the error window.
The popup gadget in the error window allows selection of which window of errors to look at. All errors can be shown in one list or errors that are unattached to any window can be viewed separately.
Browse windows have show errors to view the errors that were generated from that browse window.
Normally, closing a browse or other window that has generated errors removes those errors from the error window. Selected errors can be manually detached them from a window´s title so that they don´t disappear when the window is closed. Remove window errors removes all errors associated with a window.
Errors generated during a proof make are not removed when the make window closes. Instead the errors remain logged under the date and time the make was started.
Errors (which are essentially just unrecognised/corrupt image files) can be manipulated as though they were files using the windows menu and context menu.
The project menu contains items that manipulate the entire error list.
