No, you can interrupt an algorithm during its execution, but each algorithm has to check if the user has canceled regularly during the execution (here for the buffer algorithm for instance: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/analysis/processing/qgsalgorithmbuffer.cpp#L122) So the time you'll have to wait to finish once you have clicked on the Cancel button depends on the algorithm itself. Regarding the buffer algorithm, it could be that the processing is taking a long time to make the final unaryUnion (in cas of dissolve) at the end of the processing where isCanceled is not checked. > > Note that I am using 3.10, not 3.14 or the latest master - maybe > something has improved in this respect in later versions? > > If nothing was improved in this respect - is there a chance to improve > the situation in the future? > I don't think there's a magic solution, it depends on which algorithm you estimate too slow to interrupt. > Thanks for the discussion, > > Andreas_______________________________________________ > QGIS-Developer mailing list > [email protected] > List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer > Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
