Stopping a publish action

Haneef Tayob — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 11:11:21 GMT

I can't seem to stop or pause a publish action.
The buttons to pause and stop do exist, but don't seem to respond.

This occurs in the [Navigator-Publisher Set]. The problem is that if I forget and ask it to publish the entire set, instead of just the selection, I have to wait for the entire process to complete.

Was it this one that (on the Mac anyway) you could press command period and get it to --grudgingly-- stop? Or am I remembering something else? The equivalent on the windows would be Control Period, right?

I just tested it in v12 and yes, I'm not going crazy, doing the above keyboard combo does stop the process. HTH.

In general I find that AC is very resistant to stop doing something when asked. 3D window processes are slow to halt and so are other things I can't recall now. Makes me feel like it's running me instead of the other way around... We are the slave. It is the master.

thanks
In the Windows version, ctrl-C seems to work, although it's not instantaneous.
Perhaps GS should show it as an option, rather than the two non functioning buttons.

Can we also ask GS to also fix the ever-so-useful rendering stop button, that stops responding after 15 seconds!
