Hi,


The INCHI import usually works like charm, however


if the INCHI code is broken or incorrect it takes and infinite(?) time


to finish, with the only solution to kill the whole process.





Example Beta carotene (one with plus at the end, one without plus)





Doesnt work


Code:



InChI=1/C40H56/c1-31(19-13-21-33(3)25-27-37-35(5)23-15-29-39(37,7)8)17-11-12-18-32(2)20-14-22-34(4)26-28-38-36(6)24-16-30-40(38,9)10/h11-14,17-22,25-28H,15-16,23-24,29-30H2,1-10H3/b12-11+,19-13+,20-14+,27-25+,28-26+,31-17+,32-18+,33-21+,34-22








Works


Code:



InChI=1/C40H56/c1-31(19-13-21-33(3)25-27-37-35(5)23-15-29-39(37,7)8)17-11-12-18-32(2)20-14-22-34(4)26-28-38-36(6)24-16-30-40(38,9)10/h11-14,17-22,25-28H,15-16,23-24,29-30H2,1-10H3/b12-11+,19-13+,20-14+,27-25+,28-26+,31-17+,32-18+,33-21+,34-22+








Is it possible to set an timout lets say depending on the speed of the computer or 10 seconds? I know it uses the DLL wrapper and it might not be easy to kill an erroneous process.








Cheers
