GfxDesigner : how to terminate the build process

[ferro]

Hi,

I’d like to terminate the build process, but pressing F7 causes GfxDesigner(4.24.1) to crash.

Is there any other way to do that ? A key combination ?

Thanks

Hello @ferro.

I am not aware of any other way to terminate the build except by pressing Cancel or F7 without closing TouchGFX Designer. However, I have never experienced issues with this.

Does the issue only occur when you cancel the simulator build, or does it also happen with Generate Code and Run Target (if available)? Could you try to replicate the issue in TouchGFX 4.26.0?

Best regards,
Johan

With 4.24.1, I press F5 and the Designer starts to generate code. Pressing F7 during that causes the Designer to crashe. So it does when I press F7 while compiling. I run simulation only.

"Could you try to replicate the issue in TouchGFX 4.26.0?"

I will.
