Loading Objects - Add Cancel/Abort Option
I'm not sure this is directly with our AD, AD in general, or ??? .... However, when there is a "Loading Objects" dialog, there is no option to cancel the operation.
For example, today I was testing the AD integration and was doing a search for a user. The search ran with "Loading Objects" for several minutes and I wanted to just cancel the search, however, there was no option to. I was forced to use Task Manager to kill the process. I tried again with the same outcome.
I did notice if I closed the tab it would then show "Cancelling" and close the tab.
Hopefully I have explained this right. I have included a screenshot hopefully to clarify if not.
Also.... This happened when I do anything loading a computer list. This one is actually worse because I can't even close a tab or get out in anyway but end the process.
I feel like Task Manager should be a last resort and the UI should allow for the cancellation/abortion of the operation.
Thank you for looking into this. :-)

Dear Jwoodard,
Thank you for getting in touch with us regarding the issue you are facing.
We have conducted an investigation on our end and acknowledge that the cancellation option requires improvement. Our engineering department has opened a case for this matter, and I will keep you updated as soon as they provide any updates.
Meanwhile, could you please let us know the version of RDM you are using and the type of data source you are working with?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Best regards,
Patrick Ouimet
Apologies, I have been neck deep in other projects.
Currently 2023.2.22.0 and I am working with a local data source
Are there any updates to this, I keep running into this issue and anytime I have to kill the task with task manager it leaves a bad impression. We're looking to roll this out to multiple departments and I am worried things like this will make the overall project look bad.
Thank you.
Hello,
There aren't any updates on this as of now. We have increased the priority of this improvement request in our TODO and will keep you updated on the progress.

Hello,
We've improved on the computer list, and you can now cancel a search mid-progress. This should enable you to browse any computer that was loaded at that point in the search (even though the list won't be complete).
This should be available for the next 2023.3 beta.
Regards,
Jafran Majeau
