I would like to submit my +1 We regularly use the Scribus Generator for mailings and there is no coding error, but depending on the database and the complexity of a document, the script can run typically up to 20 minutes. Sometimes we have reasons (like a power cut (Africa), or a database error) to interrupt such a script. Since it uses much of the processor capacity, and keeps jumping between windows, I never manage to cut it. So I have to look at my frantic computer, knowing that the entire run and all results will be faulty. I could add some break dialog into the Scribus Generator, but that would mean that I have to confirm many times, when all is well. So a nice, solid, red emergency-button for all scripts would be a valuable and welcome feature please. If possible. Or - if this feature is not important to most users - could somebody give us pointers how Matt and Martin could add such a feature in all their concerned scripts, please? thank you and greetings, Martin On 11.03.2021 21:08, Matt Miller wrote: > Sometimes I do "Script | Execute Script ..." to run a custom script and then due to my coding error the script hangs or runs too long. In these cases I'd like to cancel the script without exiting Scribus. However, it seems I need to terminate the entire app. Is it possible to just cancel the running script? I'm thinking of a "Script | Terminate Script" option that appears when a script is running, or something like that. Is that currently possible, or would an enhancement request for something like this make sense? > > > -- > > Matt Miller > mailto:[email protected] > > -------------- next part -------------- > An HTML attachment was scrubbed... > URL: <http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus/attachments/20210311/e748d394/attachment.htm> > ___ > Scribus Mailing List: [email protected] > Edit your options or unsubscribe: > http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus > See also: > http://wiki.scribus.net > http://forums.scribus.net > -- ZASKE Martin responsable GʊGʊ BP 50 - Bassila - Bénin tel GʊGʊ 66.66.11.11 tel pers 97.44.62.95 ___ Scribus Mailing List: [email protected] Edit your options or unsubscribe: http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus See also: http://wiki.scribus.net http://forums.scribus.net
