Simple copy to Queue

[Flash.it]

I think it will be useful to transform simple copy process to queue. Now to do that you need to cancel your copy/move and start it again in queue mode but it very uncomfortable.

You can put the foreground copy process into background just by pressing the "Background" button at copy dialog.

To use the Background Transfer Manager by default, just enter this line at your wincmd.ini file (section [Configuration])

Code: Select all

AlwaysCopyInBackground=2

[Flash.it]

I know this method. But if you copy files in the only direction it will be quickly to use queue than have some background copy processes.

Flash.it,
From TC help file:

AlwaysCopyInBackground=
2: Always use background transfer manager

So, every copy operation will be added to queue of background transfer manager.

Hi,

tried this, but it doesn't seem to work with drag&drop!?

edit: at least not when prompting is disabled

This works only when you copy/move files between TC panels, this doesn't work for drag and drop from external apps.

I was drag&droping between the panels
Does it work for you?

I would also like to have the possibility to say "Always copy with Queue".
I think that Queue is a great tool and it could become the main way to copy files/move files.

bestia,
That option already exists, AlwaysCopyInBackground=2 in wincmd.ini. See Help, 4.b)

No, you are not understand therefore "Copy In Background" and Queue - it is different operation. For Example: If you will copy large files from HDD to USB Flash that much faster Copy them one by one in Queue then all together in Background !!!

Just read manual as Hacker suggested:

AlwaysCopyInBackground=0
    1: Total Commander always copies in the background
    2: Always use background transfer manager

So, with value 2 TC will use background transfer manager (that copies using queue) and not just background operations.

I didn't know about this feature.

But what can I do when I need copy some files to different sources same time all together ?
Queue does it very long on big files.

Just for me i Think it is only need add one button "Add To Queue" in (Background) Copy File Process Dialogs.

Already started operations can't be added to queue.
