handling multiple background transfer manager windows

Post by *GammelBert »

I often use multiple BTM windows. Using the + button to add operations to the the BTM window is annoying because it requires very much mouse movement and many clicks. I can't use the F2 Queue button because it seems to send operations only to the BTM window which was created at last.

My ideas for improvement:

- F2 Queue button adds a job to the BTM window which was most recently active (had focus).
- allow Drag & Drop on the BTM windows: It could work like the usual Drag & Drop to copy/move from the source to the taget window except that the mouse button will be released on one of the BTM windows. Left mouse button will copy, left + right will move the selected file(s) to the path of the current target window. This is an easy way to let the user choose the desired BTM window.

Support for using F2 to add to last opened queue.

BTW, dropping file(s) to BTM window to move/copy them to another panel may be unclear.
