[Fixed] queue doesn't get focus when a copy error occurs

So, you can wait for ages and then realize that TC has done exactly nothing besides popping up a dialog box in the background.

What error exactly? In case of an overwrite dialog, it should be shown in the context of the main window and not of the background transfer manager...

I noticed it with this one:

I see - a standard MessageBox. I can try the "move to foreground" parameter, but it's not really user-friendly when you are just typing something in a text editor...

Is it more user-friendly to move the overwrite box to the foreground? I don't quite get that...

Maybe my bug report was wrong. I should have better asked to NOT try to steal the focus when a background thread has something to tell.

What I would expect here is consistency. Either steal focus whenever a background thread has something to report or never steal focus. If you do it mixed, that's more than irritating.

Should be better now. I'm doing an "attach thread input" to the main thread, so the message box should come before the main TC now.
