cancelTask() & cancelAllTask()

[eboda_snaf]

I tried to stop a background exporting job using cancelTask() in my script. But i did not work, so did cancelAllTask().

please advise.Thanks

cheers.

Hi

in this snippet cancelTask() works for me.

var doc = app.documents[0];
var bg_tasks = app.backgroundTasks;


doc.asynchronousExportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File("~/Desktop/w.pdf"));
doc.asynchronousExportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File("~/Desktop/x.pdf"));
doc.asynchronousExportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File("~/Desktop/y.pdf"));
doc.asynchronousExportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File("~/Desktop/z.pdf"));


$.writeln(bg_tasks.length);
$.writeln(bg_tasks.everyItem().id);
$.writeln(bg_tasks.everyItem().name);
$.writeln(bg_tasks.everyItem().percentDone);


// cancel w.pdf and y.pdf export
bg_tasks[0].cancelTask();
bg_tasks[2].cancelTask();


// cancell all background tasks
// bg_tasks.everyItem().cancelTask();

thank you
