Copy/Move Speed buton

Post by *bop sprengers »

The Copy/Move dialog now has a Pause button. Great. Very usefull.
My request :to the lright of the Cancel button there is room for a SPEED button... Copying large files or folders always goes a full speed, and makes my (fast) system unusable during this process. Lowering speed avoids this.
This is not a new idea ! Total Copy had it from day one.

The background transfer manager (F5 -> F2) has an bandwidth limit.

No disadvantages other than very a uninformative interface.
A slider to control the transfer speed would be convenient.

I think the reason for not having "Speed" on foreground window is what foreground means: it cripples TC.

When an operation is shown in foreground window TC is not usable until its end. For me it's questionable why would anyone want it to take more time?

I know it can choke your PC but that is why BTM exists. If you don't want to be bothered by this process you have to "put it aside" and use BTM.

I agree, you have a point. An improved BTM interface would be nice, no ?
