Description joerg.skottke 2008-08-20 07:51:31 UTC 
Under certain conditions saving files might fail.
We need a warnlog in that case.

Comment 2 joerg.skottke 2008-08-20 09:24:53 UTC 
hFileWait() has been modified to take an optional boolean parameter that - if
set to TRUE - forces the function to issue a warnlog if any dialog appears after
triggering the File I/O operation.

This is enabled for all hFileSave*() functions by default and is a tribute to
lazy test writers who do not want to check the outcome of their file-ops manually.

This change is high risk.
Comment 3 joerg.skottke 2008-08-20 12:18:16 UTC 
Note that the new warning mechanism is turned *off* for the hFileOpen* functions
because a change to the function interfaces would be necessary (explicitly turn
off the warnings) and this again would require changes to quite a lot of test
scripts.
Comment 4 joerg.skottke 2008-08-21 10:58:25 UTC 
Changed interface:

   hFileWait( optional bWarnlog ) as integer

Where bWarnlog = true prints a warnlog if any dialog pops up. This is the
default. This should never happen when writing files.

Verified with a number of tests on Windows and Linux spread over multiple modules.
