filecopy/move/unrar locks whole TC

[yabbah]

Don't know if this has been on the wall before but did a quick search and didn't find anything.

First of all I have to say I love TC but have to go over to speedcommander (from here called SC) as this lock is abuse my worktime.

Let say I will copy/move/unpack a file thats kinda big and take 5 minutes to complete, the whole TC is locked by this action all that time. With SC it has a separate window when doing those actions that isn't stop me from still working with other files when the copy/move/unpack is running.

Is there any plans to implement such behavior in TC too ?

*** EDIT ***
ops, totally missed that 7.55 got a background-button to solve this a bit, but I want to be able to set this permanent, so it all the time is in the background, and be able to batch stuffs.

Kind regards
yabbah

Hello, yabbah.

How about using the [Background] button on file copy/move/pack/unpack operations on a per case basis?

How about telling T.C. to perform such operations in the background always by adding these settings to the wincmd.ini section [Configuration]?

AlwaysCopyInBackground=0
1: Total Commander always copies in the background
2: Always use background transfer manager
AlwaysPackInBackground=0
1: zip in background
2: zip+external packers in background
3: like 2, but run external packers minimized
AlwaysUnpackInBackground=0
1: unzip in background
2: unzip+external unpackers in background
3: like 2, but run external unpackers minimized

0 is just the default value and means disabled obviously.

These settings should be modifiable through the Configuration => Options dialogue boxes, yet sadly are not at the time being. So you will have to use Configuration => Change setting files directly instead and re-launch T.C. afterwards.

Kind regards,
Karl
