Hirosi, I can add some stuff to provide this sort of check, but if so, would
make it buildable with a specific #define, instead of part of the default code.
IMO this change is not so central, as:
- the situation probably happens not too often
- it's a bit annoying to have to wait, but it's not fatal to any content
- you can specify a timeout limit for file operations, some number of seconds
that suits you
- if an overwrite is involved, there would be 2 dialogs, which is a bit clumsy
- the cpbar plugin does allow pausing and stopping
In the code there's a function to stop a running task, but that's not exposed
for the user to bind to a keypress etc. Might make more sense to make that
publicly available, in case the timeout is not in operation.
Should I go ahead ?
Regards
Tom
