Auto F5
I normally don't have F5 set to automatic, but I guess it was set this
way by accident. For simple models, this is really nice.
I just loaded a large model, and am now stuck with OpenSCAD hung,
waiting for F5 to finish.
It might make sense to have Auto F5 kill itself after a user-set
duration, such as 15 seconds.

Note that my most recent hang involved source code with a misspelled
include file. Surely an error like that begs for the entire F5 process
to be immediately aborted. This should not be a warning: it is a fatal
error.

A lot of my F5s take more than 15s. 2 minutes 19 for this because it has
more than 2500 parts:

Do you want to wait 2 minutes each time you make a change to the source
code? I do not. If F5 takes under 2 seconds, fine; if more, then I
want to request the F5 manually. It is the auto F5 that trapped me for
5 minutes while OpenSCAD attempted a futile calculation. I am
advocating that we put a limit for auto F5 that can be set by the user.
In my case, I would set it to perhaps 5 seconds. Longer than that and
the facility is not useful to me.
Note that this is NOT a limit for a manual F5, just for the auto F5

The discussion is moot. The problem is that it is technically not
supported at this point to cancel the action.
As soon as that gets implemented, if someone feels spending the time
on that (which would be very nice and obviously useful feature), then
it could just be a cancel button that always works.
ciao,

I don't want to wait 2 minutes but unfortunately that is how long it takes.

I'm thinking that all computation should be managed in a separate
thread, one that can be killed whenever you hit the red X, or restarted
when you hit F5 again. Actually, it would might need to be a separate
process so that memory management is not an issue. But there are several
platforms to worry about... nothing is easy!
