Yep I agree, with pg_restore, warnings also generate a non-zero return
code, but the restore does complete successfully, so this is mis-leading.
An example is "language <xxx> already exists" - pg_restore just throws a
warning to let you know this, but the restore is successful.
Perhaps what might work better is a message box - if you've already
performed a restore but it returned non-zero, and OK is pressed again in
the same dialogue box, throw up a message saying something like "you've
already attempted a restore, are you sure you want to run it again?"

I agree with Pierce, instead of OK buttom we can have another message
like "start restore" or just "restore".
I don't remember how much times inadvertently press OK buttom to close
this screen. (Yeah, I was thinking that this occur only with me :P )
This is a little change, but will help a lot.
TIA.

That makes sense. But it still might be helpful to add an additional
safeguard (like a pop-up message, for example). I've seen cases where
the log returns only one error--something insignificant--and the user
decides they can live with it. So they click OK, thinking they're
exiting the screen, moving on. But instead they may have
inadvertently corrupted their database.

This may be more of a feature request/suggestion than a bug. But
here's
the issue: After finishing a restore using the Windows version (tested
in 1.6.3, but was also present in 1.4.x), if you click the "OK" button
when you're done, the restore process runs a 2d time--which is not
desirable. I've used the program enough to know I should select
"CANCEL"
instead. But the distinction between OK and CANCEL (or "DONE", which I
believe I've seen in some versions) is not totally clear. The bottom
line is it's far too easy for a user to click OK thinking they're
doing
the right thing, when in fact it's not the right thing to do.
If the restore doesn't return a success code the button stays at OK so
you can tweak the options and try again. If it does return a success
code (zero), the button changes to Done. The same applies to the backup
dialogues.
