Stopping the publisher

[Anonymous]

Is it only me ... the Stop and Pause buttons doesn't work.

(The fact that AC defaults to publish "this set" and not "selected items" make a wrong click on the publish button even worse.)

Stop and Pause buttons must be fixed.
Will Graphisoft ever fix this?

The publisher is King and you must not stop the King from publishing.

Hear Here!

This pathetic, phony little charlatan of a Stop Button has made me look like a fool for the last time! I was recently making a hurried revision to a drawing that HAD TO be sent out to the contractor's superintendent immediately, because it changed the block that was being laid at that very moment. My boss was standing right behind me, and I went to the publisher to create a PDF and e-mail it out... AND I FORGOT TO CHANGE THE "SELECTION ONLY" BOX! It published my entire drawing set, regenerating every drawing, and chewed on this for ten minutes while everyone in the world looked at me like some kind of moron, contemplating my termination. All I could do was pound on the unfeeling mouse button. To make it worse, I didn't Save first, so I couldn't just switch the computer off! I feel violated.

Can we just default to "Selection Only"?

...another good idea.

There is almost always a second and third method you can use to stop it (if you have PC and Windows, Mac I don't know).

Use your key [Break] or [<-] Backspace, sometimes one of those two keys will break current operation if not buttons will work. But this what I have recognize is depending on how much computerpower ArchiCad allocate. A slow computer are harder to stop than a new rocket thing.

The break key has always worked well for me, although it seems to cancel the entire process, (such that the dialog boxes closes too), not just stop it.

Alpha/beta testers have, and continue to ask for the Publisher to default to Publish Selected Items - when items are selected!

Cheers,

I know we don't like these things, but this may be a good use of an "Are you SURE you want to do that?" dialog.
