Progress Dialog Message Area Content

The first message is "STARTED" and the last message that tells you that it has completed fully the command is "ENDED".

Other messages contain some informative progress messages, or diagnostic warning or error messages. Each message occupies one line, it starts with the message type (in capital letters, see Message Format) followed by the message itself. Most of the time, you do not have to pay attention to their content, except during a Grab All or Grab List command.

For a Grab command, many threads are allocated for importing web files, toward the end, when no new web files are in the queue, the threads are finishing importing the remaining files. During this time, the following message is displayed to tell you that the end is near:

INFO-WAIT: Finalize X threads

Where X is a number. You will see that the next similar message has a lower X value until you see the "ENDED" message. The last message informs that you can dismiss the dialog without losing data. If you feel that the import operation is stalled, you may stop the command (by a click the Stop button) then dismiss the dialog display. Some data might be lost and there is a risk that WebGrabber becomes unstable; you better Exit WebGrabber and restart it again.

If you have set for recursive import (See the Decision Panel of the Configuration dialog), you may see the following message instead:

INFO-WAIT: Recurse for embedded pages = the_topic_root_directory

Then, again the "INFO-WAIT: Finalize X threads " message as explained above. However, you will get the "ENDED" message at the end when there is no more recursive operations to be done.
