Please add a Pause/Resume button

[dfhtextpipe]

Sometimes it would be very convenient to pause a filter and resume later.
i.e. For a filter that usually takes minutes rather than seconds to complete.

e.g. If you get an incoming Skype call, and you need more CPU percentage, etc.

cf. The Firefox downloader has a Pause/Resume control.

This is now ready for the next release

Thanks!

In the default label for the Go - Process Files button, there seems to be some truncated text.

Just noticed this after installing the Beta, which doesn't yet include the Pause/Resume.

btw. Why does this label change after opening an filter?

The label changes to Go - Real (F9) and the tooltip text changes too.

It has 3 states depending on the Output Mode of the output filter:

I am going to change this to just 'Go (F9)' - do you think the mode information is useful?

0 :
beginButton.caption := loadResourceStr( 4870, '&Go-Real (F9)' );
beginButton.hint := loadResourceStr( 4880, 'Begin transform in real mode (original files may be altered)' );
end;
1 : begin
beginButton.caption := loadResourceStr( 4850, '&Go-Test (F9)' );
beginButton.hint := loadResourceStr( 4860, 'Begin transform in test mode (original files will not be altered)' );
end;
2 : begin
beginButton.caption := loadResourceStr( 4851, '&Go-Backup (F9)' );
beginButton.hint := loadResourceStr( 4861, 'Begin transform in backup mode (original files will have .bak added to them)' );

The width of the button needs fixing to prevent the longest label being truncated.

I'd rather keep the button the same and put the text elsewhere. I'm still exploring where best to put it
