Description Ceejay 2007-10-30 16:00:12 UTC

I'm sure I remember seeing this discussed before but can't find it, sorry...  anyway I'm using SC7 (10-30 nightly) and have successfully pointed the library at a share on another system (actually my production server).  Scan started ok, and I'm admiring the nice new progress screen. Only problem - I made a mistake and pointed the library at the wrong folder, its going to take forever.  How do I stop it?

OK, I guess I could go to task manager and kill the scanner process, but I don't think thats very nice for mr average user who's just made a similar mistake and wants to stop the scan.

So how about it? A nice big "Stop scan" button somewhere, perhaps on the progress page?

Won't starting a new rescan do this?  If not, it should.

Will look at this post 7.0.

Dean, I can't start a new scan from the UI while a scan is in progress.  So yes, please I would like a "stop" button!

(Just tested on 7.0 - 16329)
