Disable "File can't be loaded" Error for Incomplete Files

Post by johnnyboy »

Hello!

I'm not sure if this should be in suggestions forum but for now I think I'll post it here as I want to know if there's a way I can completely disable this error from popping up. I know I am opening a file that is being downloaded and it is maybe 10% done, but the "File can't be loaded" error is quite annoying (to me). I have already checked "Ignore read errors" in the settings, but it doesn't make a difference.

I tend to quickly go through some downloading files even at lower completion % just to check if I can even see a little bit of t he data that has downloaded. I can then quickly judge if I need it or not instead of waiting for it to complete download.

Meanwhile, perhaps a workaround suggestion is that instead of an error popping up and causing a "stop" in workflow, it can just be text in the background/empty canvas that says image can't be loaded. The pop up behaviour of the error that breaks focus really is the thing that gets me haha (and the annoying sound it prompts Windows to make for errors that are useful for errors but in this case I'd rather not have it).

I know it's really niche but I'd be grateful if this can be done or if there are any suggestions. I can do some programming so if there's a way to get in there manually I'd be up for it too.

Hey so any idea if this was implemented? I occasionally go through the release logs but haven't noticed anything. Thanks!
