Summary0009364: Interrupt filter operation gracefully
DescriptionIt would be nice if there was an interrupt button, which could stop filters (or a rendering) from finishing without having to quit paraview.

I have no idea how this should be done, but I guess if the filter is started in a separate thread, this thread could be killed and the filter reset.

We've talked about this a bit. Our thoughts are to improve the progress handling so that when an algorithm calls UpdateProgress, GUI events are checked. If a user does something that requires an abort, an abort flag is set in the algorithm and when control returns to the algorithm, it (theoretically) breaks execution.

There is some work involved in this. The pipeline executive would have to also abort cleanly and know how to restart a new request. Also, all the algorithms would have to be modified to check an abort flag after calling UpdateProgress.
