Close the state when it is compressing.

I compress 200GB files from several folders. And I want to close the computer before it finished the task for some reasons. How can I end the state?

I guess you want to resume the compression task? The only way would be to send the computer to hibernate or sleep. Anything else will kill the process.

Actually not, I only want to cancel it and leave resumption out of consideration.

...umm... just guessing... by pressing the "Cancel" or the little red "X" button on the upper right corner of the window...?

There are plenty of ways: kill the process, press Ctrl+Alt+Reset, unplug computer power cord or use big hammer.

Seriously, Cancel button in pack progress dialog should do it for you. Which packer do you use?

I use the “"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" -ibck”.
Acutally, Cancel button is useless because when I close the dialog, which shows "Files are being packed, please wait...", the dialog appears again. The main reason is that I compress several folders.

Do you pack each folder to separate archive? I think in such case TC begins packing next folder when previous packing process ends.

BTW I just tried it, with tray packing you should break operation via tray icon context menu.

Yes, into separate archive. And with your suggestion, it works. I Never Thought So. Thank you very much, you solve my problem.

You're welcome.

However it is strange why closing TC wait window doesn't terminate entire process too.
