Each time that an algorithm is running through the QGIS python console, a new thread and a new instance of the algorithm executor are created. The signals of the AlgorithmExecutor are connected to the thread signal in order to quit the thread and run the algorithm when the thread starts. While the algorithm is running, the main thread waits for the algorithm to finish and then proceed to show the output (first approach).</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 30px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">What am I going to achieve for the next week?</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" class=""></span></p><p align="justify" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class=""><ul class="MailOutline"><li style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Create a non-blocking version of the processing in order to make the interface not wait for the algorithm to finish.</span></li><li style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Lato, sans-serif; line-height: 30px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Solve the crash when starting the new thread.</span></li></ul></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 30px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">Is there any blocking issue?</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" class=""></span></p><p align="justify" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); line-height: 30px;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">QGIS seems to crash randomly when starting the new thread and, when it doesn’t crash, the output of the algorithm is None, which may indicate that the algorithm is crashing in the new thread.</span></p></body></html>
