Summary: "Show directory sizes" should be interruptible Project: GNU Midnight Commander Submitted by: bilboq Submitted on: Friday 03/16/2007 at 16:02 Category: Core Severity: 3 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: current (CVS or snapshot) Operating System: GNU/Linux _______________________________________________________ Details: When I invoke "Show directory sizes" from Command menu, the scanning cannot be interrupted. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-break, esc - notgnih work. This can be especially annoying if you do it in root directory and you have mounted some slow network drive, large archive with millions of files in thousands of directories or anything else that will take ages (hours? days?) to scan. Ultimately, I'll have to switch to another terminal and kill mc. I think the scanning should be interruptible. Also, it might be nice to show some sort of progress window, telling which directory is scanned (a bit similar of the progress window showing the file which is now deleted when you delete some large directory structure) _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?19325> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
