Error description

  • Cursor shows 'hour glass' or 'working' indicator when exporting
    Module to HTML or Spreadsheet to location that doesn't exist.
    
    Steps to reproduce:
    -----------------------
    1. Open any Formal Module.
    2. Select File?Export?HTML or Spreadsheet
    3. Specify the path to a folder which does not exist.
    4. Click Export.
    You will get the following message and the cursor stays
    hour-glass:
    ===============================================
    CRCRD6193E: Icon copy failed:
    Copy file failed to copy C:\Program
    Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.3\lib\html\bullet.gif to
    C:\Temp_1\bullet.gif
    'The system cannot find the path specified'
    ===============================================
    
    At this stage the cursor is still showing an hour glass OR
    working symbol.
    This behavior of DOORS is confusing to the end users as they
    keep waiting thinking that DOORS is still processing some
    information.
    
    Once you click OK, the cursor changes back to normal.
    
    Note: Trying to export to any of the other formats : Plain Text
    or Rich Text Format or FrameMaker with a path to a folder which
    doesn't exist doesn't make the Cursor to stay in a hour glass or
    working symbol.
