[Enhancement Request] detach import/export/save from FreeCAD add additional data while import
While Importing, currently Freecad is Freezing and looks like it had crashed.
If possible, please give it its own Process in Task manager. Put it in background, so you could work on other files in Freecad.
I would recommend having an Importing Dialog with some details See Mock-up:

Are you really able to use FreeCAD in on open File while it is importing data on another TAB?

Re: [Enhancement Request] detach import from FreeCAD add additional data while import
Anyway. The unresponsiveness while importing is only one part of my enhancement request. Another part is the Information Dialog. Sometimes I have Files whether I do not know what they contain. So it would be nice to have some Information while FreeCAD is importing.
And important -> An abort button. I do not like to Kill application while they're working as intended only because I realize that it need to much time to finish.

Re: [Enhancement Request] detach import from FreeCAD add additional data while import
As workaround, I currently do it the same. But it seems that FreeCAD is designed to use one Application for several open Documents. But if the importing Process of one tab do affect the other tab, so this possibility is limited. The other problem is, that even you have two documents in the same application open, but you get a Problem in one of them, you could not kill this specific document. The task manager only shows the whole application. IMHO you should either be able to kill a document or kill a running sub-process.

under linux you can end a single freecad. is linux (xubuntu lts) e.g. as a dual boot after full backup a solution for you?Kartoffelpüre wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 7:57 am ...The task manager only shows the whole application.

Re: [Enhancement Request] detach import from FreeCAD add additional data while import
Well, it doesn't really affect the other tabs in the sense that data could be changed. An unresponsive program is simply unresponsive. There is not much that FreeCAD can do with this, because the geometric kernel doesn't offer the possibilities to interrupt it. The minor possible improvements which could be possible don't justify the major effort to achieve them.Kartoffelpüre wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 7:57 am But it seems that FreeCAD is designed to use one Application for several open Documents.
