Copying or Moving Files with different threads
JUST A QUESTION:
When copying or moving multiple files with different threads simultaneously, is there a possibility to add a check box somewhere, p.e. into the global options panel or into the copying/moving popup windows, to do it sequentially instead of simultaneously?
REASON: too many simultaneously threads result in slow processes. And always have to wait until a running process is ended before starting the next one is time consuming ...
Thanks in advance!

Just use F2 (Queue) button in the copy dialog instead of sending the copy processes to the background after starting them.

Upon further consideration this is not exactly what I meant ...
The 'problem' (...) that I tried to describe is: A copy process of a file or a map of files is started by draging the source from one panel to the other. Because it 's a time consuming process you can send this action to the background by the button intended for this purpose.
Meanwhile one or more new/next copy process(es) can be started but this result in slower performance because they act simultaneously.
Hence my question: is there some possibility to force these simultaneous actions act sequentially (one after another)?
Thanks in advance!

No, not if you have moved a foreground operation to the background.is there some possibility to force these simultaneous actions act sequentially (one after another)?
You have to plan ahead and start the first operation in background by pressing F5 -> F2 - then you can add later operations to the background queue with F5 -> F2
I write F5 -> F2 in stead of "Drag items" -> F2, because if you have disabled confirmation for drag&drop (Configuration -> Options -> Misc. ) - you will NOT get the dialog where you can press F2.

Well, I added a line to wincmd.ini
By pressing F5 it will copy always at Background Transfer Manager (sequential) ... or actually F6 to move with BTM
Code: Select all
[Configuration]
AlwaysCopyInBackground=2

Notice that AlwaysCopyInBackground=2 has no effect if you use drag&drop and you have disabled confirmation for drag&drop (Configuration -> Options -> Misc. )
