bug restore window

Version 1.4.0
When you restore a database and there are no problems the Ok button
turns into a Done button. Clicking on this closes the window.
When there are errors or warnings, the OK button stays an ok button
and clicking on it attempts to do the restore again.
To get out of the window you must click cancel.

I would think the button to get out should always get you out. There
is never (as far as I can think of) a time when you would want to run
the restore a second time. Even if there were errors and something has
to be changed, you would want to go out of that window first to fix
the problem.

Thank You
Sim

The behaviour is intentional; if the restore failed, you might want to
correct your parameters and try again.
To leave the dialog (any dialog), you always can use Cancel or the close
button. The OK button turns to Done to prevent you from rerunning the
successful restore again.

The problem is that on a successful restore with warnings, the user is
used to clicking the Done button. I have had to drop the database and
restore again a number of times because I was used to clicking the
button and it tried to restore again.
If it completely fails, then I see your point.

OK, I understand now, it's the warning case. Seems the pg_restore return
code handling needs some tuning.
