Results Tab

The Results Tab of the Processing Files dialog shows you processing results.

The original file size, the new file size and the change in file size (delta or d) is also shown. You can quickly tell if a task has worked properly by comparing the old and new sizes. If you are expecting all files to become larger (e.g. for email encoding), then you expect the Delta column to contain '<'s. If all files are expected to become smaller (e.g. for removing HTML), then you expect the Delta column to contain '>'s. If you expect all files to stay the same size (e.g. for a case conversion, or ASCII <=> EBCDIC), then you expect the Delta column to contain '='s.

Double clicking the filename will open the file in its associated application. If there is no known association, the file is opened with Notepad. This can be changed using the Preferences dialog. The columns widths can be resized by dragging the column separator in the header.

If the filter was being run in Test Mode (i.e. files with a .dCV output), then an extra button will be displayed after the job has been completed giving you the option to delete all generated files. Once the files have been deleted, the button is dimmed.

If more than 1000 files are processed, file logging to the screen is turned off. All files information so far is copied to textPipe.log, and all information about all remaining files processed is also written to the log file.
