Add Cancellation Button for Ongoing Zip Operations

[jelveh]

Description:

Currently, when performing a zip operation on files or folders, a progress window is displayed to inform the user of the ongoing process. However, this progress window lacks a cancellation option. This means that users have no way to interrupt the zipping process once it has started, aside from potentially having to refresh Puter, which is neither convenient nor safe.

Suggested Solution

Implement a "Cancel" button within the progress window of zip operations. This button would allow users to safely terminate the zip process at any point.

i didnt see any progress window while using zip operation. Its just displaying a buffering animation and doing the task. Should I add the cancel button there or what?

Yes, that's the progress window. It doesn't currently show how complete the task is, but eventually it will.

When I tried to solve this problem, I found that jszip unsupport cancel. What should I do next?

this sucks. Let me think about it a little.

jszip seems to have stopped being developed a couple of years ago, so it's unlikely we could get it modified to add cancellation. But maybe we could fork it.

Alternatively, archiver looks like a decent alternative that does support aborting a request.
