Changing regular copy or move to queue

[bzemer]

Hi,
It would be helpful to be able to click a button and send an already accruing copy or move to the queue, without having to cancel it and redoing the copy/ move action and then sending to queue.

That is already present. When you perform a copy action, a window showing the progress pops up. On that window there is button to switch from foreground to background and the other way around. So when you click on "Background" you can use TC, even for more copy actions in the background!

Copying in Background is not the same as queueing though. Especially on slower paths (SATA disks, CD ROMs, etc.) having multiple background copies is a bad idea. In that case you might want to be able to "fix" your mistake by taking one of those background copies and moving it to the queue (copy->F2)

I also missed this a couple of times but I usually work around it by pausing all but one transfers and then un-pausing them sequentially

@bzemer, are you referring to the "Queue" functionality of Double Commander?

I guess the reference is to TC's "Commands" -> "Background Transfer Manager" (also accessible via F2 in the "Copy" dialog , F5 -> F2), which is NOT the same as clicking the "Background" button in the "Copy" progress dialog during a copy process.

Interesting! Had no idea it exists in TC. Now, I might have discovered a bug, but do you see that window being suspiciously unresponsive with remote-FS (SMB, NFS, etc) mounted in explorer?
