The Action Waiting Dialog

The Action Waiting dialog is displayed when an Action is executed on a file.

Click on part of the dialog for more information.

Action

Displays the name of the Action that Packafied is waiting for. This is the same name that is displayed on the Action menu when the Action is executed.

File

Displays the name of the temporary file being edited by the Action. The file name is not the same as the file you selected in the
main window, but it has the same content and the same extension. This is to prevent problems when editing files on platforms that do not support file names with illegal characters.

Save Changes

Contains options on whether you want to save changes to the file being edited by the Action. By default, this setting is the same as the setting chosen for the Action in the
Action dialog. You can change this setting if, for example, you selected not to save changes by default but this time you do.

Close Button

Forces Packafied to stop waiting for the Action. When this button is pressed, Packafied will perform the same operations as if the Action had finished normally, like saving changes (if selected). Note that if an external program hasn't finished with a file and has locked it, Packafied might not be able to save changes and an error dialog will be displayed.

Note

It is always a good idea to wait for a program to finish by itself. Use the close button as a last resort only!
