interesting behavior with upload in background (ftp)

[nirmelamoud]

not sure if this is on purpose or not, but its interesting

I have two FTP sites open (probably can be done with one as well)

I mark few folders (probably files will work as well) and do copy from my local disk to the ftp site number 1 , when the dialog open I click F2 (in the queue in the background) the marking of the folders disappear (on the local disk)

I switch to the other ftp, and mark again the list of folders I want to upload (keep both ftp servers in sync) , click copy, when the dialog open
I click F2, now the red marking does not disappear, so if I want to copy them to a third place I can without marking again


It happens, I think because the queue copy dialog is still open...

what do you say ?

I have experienced the same behavior... have filed it as a bug

Indeed these are two different operations - one is creating a new background dialog with the selected files, and one is adding selected files to an existing background operation. You should still be able to restore the last selection with the "/" key on the numeric keypad.

Ouch - somehow I misread this post and misunderstod the issue at hand
(I'll polish my glasses better)

[nirmelamoud]

in my mind, they need to behave the same (from the user perspective both are the same, adding list of files to be uploaded in the background )
I do not know which behavior is better (drop the marks or leave them) - probably drop them, as you said it could be reconstructed
