Total Commander

Hey hello!

Just an idea I would find very useful in my workflow.

Scenario: I need to zip some big files or large amount of files, and then upload them into FTP. Currently I have to wait until zipping is finished to hit F5 to upload zipped files to FTP server.

Would love to have similar option like 'F2' for copying / moving files, while confirming the ZIP command, so I could queue uploading files after zipping has finished.

Not to mention ability to queue deletion of the file, that has been uploaded.

Thanks!

Currently this isn't possible because each line in the background transfer manager can only a single source/target pair. This is necessary to support things like "download later", where the transfer manager uses a list file. For packing, we need a "multiple source" -> "single destination" combination.

Why not pack multiple in parallel, by moving them all to the background? In my tests, this is actually faster because the processor can use multiple cores in parallel for packing.

Makes sense, thank you for replying!
