   Pipeline Output Log

The **Pipeline Output View** displays any output messages associated
with GUI actions or **Filters** that are actively being used in the
**Pipeline View**.

Messages are added to the output view when:

-  **Preflight** status is updated
-  An executing pipeline needs to display output
-  Progress updates are sent from **Filters**

There are three different actions you can take on the output area; 

-  **Clear** (|clear button|) : Clears all of the current text from the output area
-  **Save** (|save button|) : Saves all of the current text from the output area to a user specified file
-  **Stream** (|stream button|) : Streams all of the text sent to the output area to a user specified file 
   in real time. Only text sent to the output area *after* this is activated will be streamed to the file. 
   When this button is clicked again, the streaming will stop.
