Messages

Show warnings: ^[1]
Show notes: ^[2]

Log all page history: ^[3]

^ Show warnings in info box (default is unchecked)
- checked to show warnings in the info box in lower right hand corner
- unchecked to not show warnings in the info box in lower right hand corner
Warnings are messages which XOWA generates when it encounters situations that are not strictly errors, but appear incorrect. For example, a missing file will generate a warning. Note that if this option is enabled, then the info box must be manually cleared by pressing Ctrl + Alt + C
^ Show notes in info box (default is unchecked)
- checked to show notes in the info box in lower right hand corner
- unchecked to not show notes in the info box in lower right hand corner
Notes are messages that are informational, but more permanent than status messages. For example, import messages generate notes for each started stage ("deleting directory").
^ Log every page visit in a separate log file (default is unchecked)
- checked: Logs every page visit in a separate log file: C:\xowa\user\anonymous\app\data\history\log_all.csv
- unchecked Does not log every page visit to a separate log file.
XOWA currently consolidates visits to the same page as one entry. For example, 3 visits to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth would show up only once with the date being the most recent one. The date for the previous two entries would be lost. This option retains dates for all 3 entries by logging each visit to a separate file.
