Merge background copy and the F2 queue into one!

[wootini]

It would be cool if pressing the "Background" button while copying would put the files into the queue, and if the queue interface could be reworked a little.

One option that I could think of would be to make the queue interface look like the current normal copy window, with the list of remaining files shown right below the status bar. Basically, just detach the current copy window from the main window and add the list below the status bar.

Also, it would be great if you could move files up and down in the list, either by dragging them, right-clicking them and selecting "move up / move down" or via some additional buttons next to the list.


Apart from that I'm really happy with this program, great work!

I totally agree with you and I wish, that feature, too. Please implement this!

I support both of these suggestions, especially the "rework interface" part:

- multiple selections through ctrl and shift buttons
- drag-drop support
- delete, add or move through keyboard shortcuts
- remember size from last time
- customizable font

My wishlist for the "F2 Queue" copy feature:
1) The ability to change the order of files in the copy queue using a keyboard or dragging with the mouse
2) A "save and resume option" which saves the current list of queued files to disk so that the operation can be resumed later. The files containing saved queues should be listed in a picklist so that the user can simply double-click on a saved queue to resume where it stopped.
3) If an active copy operation is suspended, it should be possible to move the suspended item to a different position in the copy queue
4) It would be nice if multiple files can be suspended, but this is not essential because one can use any item in the copy queue as a "blocker" and move other files which you want suspended to a lower position in the queue.

Maybe this wincmd.ini setting will be enough for you:

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
AlwaysCopyInBackground=2

That has nothing to do with this, we want additional functionality in the background-transfer window.

I know what you want and I know what has been asked before. Just use Search with "Copy queue" phrase.
