Description Derkjan 2009-11-09 10:38:24 UTC 
I used the latest ISO version of Gparted to resize some NTFS partitions. When I made my modifications and pressed Start, I noticed a mistake. When I pressed Cancel, Gparted advised me not to confirm the Cancel, because of possible filesystem errors.

It is not clear what Cancel does. Does it cancel the current operation immediately, or does is wait for it to finish? Currently it doesn't seem possible to cancel the batch, while completing the current operation.

So: I would very much like two cancel options: 1 cancel current operation immediately (risking FS errors) and 2 cancel the batch (finish current operation but don't continue to the next operation in the batch).

Thank you Derkjan for this suggestion.  Such a feature would perhaps be more forgiving to a user in the situation you describe.

Currently the Cancel button will immediately cancel any currently running operation and prevent any operations in the queue from starting.  This is the reason for the warning about the possibility of severe file system damage.

The problem in this bug report should be addressed the refactoring work by Phillip Susi in the following bug report:

Bug #685740 - Refactor to use asynchronous command execution


This refactoring work should also address the following bug report as well:

Bug #403487 - interupting a format leave partition "in use"

The code change to address this report has been included in GParted 0.15.0 released on March 19, 2013.
