Aborting queue copy/move aborts only the first item

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Aborting queue copy/move aborts only the first item

Post by *essenov »

I tried to move 5 folders to my USB stick by pressing F6 and F2, but it said there is no free space and I pressed Abort button.

The dialog window disappeared, but the Queue window was till there. I saw the first item was gone, but the rest of the queue still standing.

I was able to reproduce the same when I just copied the folders (not moving them).

Hello essenov,
Was there enough space for the first item in the queue? Since what you describe seems to be working as designed.

Fully agree.

TC just aborts (removes) the failed task.
It is up to you now to decide the next step:

- just continue with the next tasks, because they are small and will fit
- free more space on the USB stick and continue copy/move
- manually remove some tasks from BTM and continue with other tasks which have a different destination
- close BTM to abort all tasks

You see : too complex to decide by TC, it's your turn!

Indeed this behaviour is by design: The first dir failed to copy because there wasn't enough space. The queue keeps the rest of the files/dirs and switches to paused mode, so the user can continue to copy the other files if there is enough space.

Thanks all for the answers. That make sense. The label of the button made me confused.

It will be god to rename the button from Abort to Skip and get BTM on top and active. But it is not so important.
