hello,

kiwi terminates some of its output lines with ellipses, as in

May-03 21:20:48 <1> : Initializing image system on: /home/roman/wc/studio/containment/ix86/suse-SLES11/package/build/boot-VMX.1X2TbT/kiwi-VMXboot-22431... done

a kiwi novice such as myself may get confused: is the path complete?
does the ellipsis stand for a trailing portion that was, well, elided?

a kiwi pro isn't helped either. the ellipsis makes it harder to work
with the path: double click in a terminal selects it including the
trailing ellipsis, same for gf in vim.

can we elide the ellipses from the output?

Hi,
:-) no problem. You are the first one with that issue. I have
removed the 'in progress' indicators from messages which contains a
path to resolve your confusion

Regards,
Marcus
