The Warning and Error Dialog is the primary tools for reviewing errors and warnings provided by the program. Warnings are provided to highlight potential issues in operations within the program, but the user may have good reason to ignore. Errors are problems that prevented the program from completing a user action. The Warning and Error Dialog, shown below, allows for searching and filtering warnings/errors, providing a more user-friendly tool than the IDE Log (although the IDE Log is more detailed, and is therefore more useful in certain circumstances). An example below is an warning for "Session 1" and "Map Window 1", where a NetCDF file has multiple images for the same variable. Since this is not supported (see Reading NetCDF and GRIB Data), the warning is suggesting the NCGridExtractor to be used to process the file into multiple files, which HEC-MetVue can support. In general, warnings and errors should give useful hints on how to solve the issue, or give enough context to suggest whether warnings are important for a specific situation. The components of the Warning and Error Dialog are described below.
