interrupt to stop pause as well

[Cyrix]

Can you make "interrupt" to stop a running pause action?
Now it appears that it needs to wait for it to complete.
Thanks.

When you run pause action and press stop it will interrupt ( complete ) it as usual

 

[Cyrix]

But if the template is in the middle of a Pause action, Interrupt is not effective until the Pause is finished.
This request is to make Interrupt able to stop the Pause immediately.

no pause action will interrupt as fast as you will press stop...

Example you have pause 60 sec and you press play and then after 5 sec you press stop and pause action will stop count seconds and will interrupt...

 

[Cyrix]

I don't know why mine isn't doing this. For example this:

When I press Interrupt, it becomes this

0% forever (or 9999 seconds), waiting for the Pause to complete - we can't do anything (and pressing the Start button simply makes it a star icon without any other effect) - project stuck.

Oh sorry I talked about PM not zennoposter...

Yes in zennoposter interrupt will happen after action is finished...
Stop will happen when template is finished

This is how those options works

Yes, that why I was suggesting to interrupt the Pause immediately like in PM.
I think almost all users who use interrupt in ZP have the purpose of ending the project at that moment.
Thanks.

A work around for now could be to have it loop a great amount of times and set the pause time to a lower.

If you really have pause for 9999 sec and you want to interrupt that then you can remove template and add it back...

Yes, but this way consumes CPU resource.
But thanks.

Problem with this is that memory resource is not released.

I don't think pausing it for 60 sec -> show an alert -> Repeat, would need that much memory. Throw in a counter and IF statement if needed.
Why would you need a 9999 sec delay as last action anyway? You could write a .txt in your project directory as last action and prevent a new thread from starting until it's deleted as well.
Either with a timer and delete action or manually.

I can add more about interrupting - would be good if stop in PM mean Stop also when c# is executed, like if you press stop then it break out of c# action and not try to finish it... Same as in Zennoposter, Interrupt should mean immediately stop and not after action is finished...

I already wrote about this in thread http://zennolab.com/discussion/threads/poster-close-with-task-manager.15054/ I think this is because zenno try to wait while some actions finish and only then closes, but I think if close is pressed with red cross then it should close program right away...

Thanks

Added correction work for Interrupt function for pauses and email processing in ZennoPoster
Will ask about C# in PM
