Should -create-file-list be allowed to be aborted?

Just wondering.

Cause I did something like
Everything.exe -instance 15 -s "red blue" -create-file-list c:\out\list \

And once I realized something wasn't "right", tried to Ctrl+C, but it didn't work.


(Didn't realize it only dealt with directory trees, & didn't allow filtering.
With \, I kind of expected it to sort of act like root:, but it only created a filelist of the current volume.
I'm kind of glad that it did work that way ;-).)

It cannot be aborted from Everything.exe
You'll have to terminate the Everything.exe process.



You can specify
-debug
with
-create-file-list
and hit Ctrl + C in the debug console to cancel the file list creation.



I have on TODO list to add
-create-file-list
to ES.
You'll be able to cancel ES with Ctrl + C.
