The Action Pending Window is displayed when a condition which warrants your attention is raised during the execution of an action. This window is also displayed by most action statements which prompt the user.
The window displays the reason for the interruption. It optionally also displays the action step (statement) which was executing and the name of the file which was being processed. The name of the executing action is displayed in one of the two possible forms:
- When executing a non inline action
- action name (line number)
- when executing an inline action
- action name (line number in containing action)
If the interruption is one where you can manually fix the issue, you should fix it then select Continue. Continue will once again run the step which caused the problem.
If the window was automatically displayed, selecting Skip Step, will cause the action to resume on the step following the one which raised the issue. If you check Skip for all files, the step will be ignored for all files as opposed to only the file which raised the condition. When an action is executing in Grouped mode, the Skip for all files option will not be available. See How Actions Execute for more information.
Note that the reason field is a scrolling field and that the window may be resized.
Selecting Cancel Action will terminate the execution of the action.
Note that the font size of the displayed reason can be made bigger or smaller.
You can control if the Action Pending window is auto resized when displayed. This can be done in Preferences - Actions and when the window is displayed by right clicking on the icon and toggling the current setting. If auto resizing is enabled by this method, the window will resize immediately.
