How to quit a running script in Scribus 1.6.1

[One23]

Hi,

I am a long time user of Scribus and I love it to bits.

I have recently changed to 1.6.1 and normally I was able to use ctrl-c inside the console to quit the running script. I used to do this a lot while debugging but for some reason ctrl-c / ctrl-x or ctrl-z are not working inside the console anymore.

Does anyone know how to stop a script in 1.6.1. This functionality was working in 1.5.8.

Thanks for your response and if I need to file an issue in a repo on Github I will hapily do so.

Cheers,

Patrick

what you mean by "console"?

if you think of the "script > show console", it would indeed be nice to have a stop button in there... but i don't think you could ctrl-c the script there...

if you think of a "terminal" console: on linux i'm used to run "pkill scribus" and kill scribus.

i was not aware (anymore) that in previous version it used to be possible to ctrl-c scribus but, if something has indeed changed, then it might be possible to revert it...
can anybody confirm the regression?

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly

When you start Scribus in Console mode (Windows has 2 versions 1 normal and 1 console mode) you will see the console and all logging from Scribus. Which helps already with debugging, because the print statements will also show in the console. I think it's not the console screen under script. I checked and I am running 1.6.2. svn. Will install the latest stable version to see if that helps.

Basically the ctrl-c in the console window (A black one on windows) would generate a script error in Sribus and would let you cancel the ongoing script. Fot instance when I want to check some debugging on a specific python call I could just use a generic loop and then stop the script after the first alert message.

Hope this makes some sense. I will get back after I installed the stable 1.6.1 version

Thanks!

Ok,

I tried 1.6.1 official and it didn't work

Reverted to 1.5.8. and was able to CTRL-C my script that I ran via Script->Recent Script

Console active ctrl-c and then you get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 11, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 1838, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 1479, in main
  File "anon.py", line 22, in somefunction
    scribus.insertHtmlText(self.tempPath, 'Text1')
KeyboardInterrupt

That's what I was looking for. I hope this can also be fixed in 1.6.1. Also had to revert to another Python version 3.7

I hope it will be fixed so I can use the latest version of Scribus again.

Best regards,

Patrick
