Only one window for all files to copy in background

Post by *RaoulJ »

Hello,

why not to use just one unique window with a list of files or folders to be copied in background ?
With an option to copy them at once or in a sequence (possible to change order, to pause some etc.).

Would allow, in an unattended mode
- better performance (when several copies to/from same disk)
- less disk fragmentation (when several copies to same disk)
- easier control and cleaner desktop

Have a nice day...

1. open your wincmd.ini file
2. go to [Confoguration]
3. use:
AlwaysCopyInBackground=2
Help file wrote:AlwaysCopyInBackground=0
1: Total Commander always copies in the background (32-bit version only)
2: Always use background transfer manager

But why the hell not to have those options in the standard options view ?

Thanks anyway

Who knows?
Maybe the total amount of options is just too much for current Options dialog? Without some rebuilding (discussed already) having all of them in it would be truly messy.

Well, you've always have readme / help files to take a look on them :)

Think it will be useful to have a checkbox (or button) on copy dialog box to choose which way to use - previously created transfer manager or new copying window for parallel copying process.
