<![CDATA[How to interrupt loading of a large network file?]]>Hello,

yesterday I double clicked on a file (located on a network drive) in Win Explorer. The file started to load. Then I realized that this was a wrong one and that I actually wanted to open some othe file.

But the file I clicked on was huge (over 2 GB) and the network connection was not very fast. Hence the loading took some time. I could not interrupt or cancel it.

I know that there were some changes recently regarding working with network files. But, if I remember correctly, they handled the case that the connection was closed. In my case, the connection was still established, it just was not fast.

Is it possible to stop/cancel loading a file if it has already started?

Thank you for any hints.
