Add a pause entry in the background transfer queue

[PascalT]

Hi,
Another suggestion for the background transfer window:
Add an option to add a pause entry in the list of files to be copy/moved that will pause the transfer when reached in the queue.

You could use the sleep: command for that, e.g.
sleep:3600000
This would pause the execution for 1 hour. To resume, click on the "-" button to remove the pause entry.
The only downside is that you will get a "Download error!" at the end of the operation.

How can I enter this command into the background queue ?
I'd like to have this command sequenced in the queue between two copy/move operations.
It would be great if it could be entered into the queue with a button in the background transfer window, or maybe a right click on the Pause button (and without a delay, it must just switch on the pause mode of the transfer).

[PascalT]

Maybe you could add an item "Add pause" in the + menu...

Sorry, the command is sleep: and not pause:, I have updated my post. It can be used with "FTP download from list", which also accepts copy commands, e.g.
c:\path\somefile.ext
will be copied to the directory the user picks.
c:\path\somefile.ext -> d:\otherpath\othername.ext
will be copied to the other indicated name.

Maybe I missed something, but I still don't understand how you enter the "sleep" command into the background transfer queue.
The only way to enter something into the list is the button "+" and there are only options for files or URLs.
"FTP download from list" asks for a list of files and I don't want to create a list to copy/move my files. I just want to insert a pause into the transfer queue below the copy/moves commands already entered into this queue with the "+" button. Just adding an "Add pause" to the "+"menu seems to be the more convenient way to do this from my point of view.

[ghisler(Author)]

You can't. It's only used when you use "FTP download from list".

So the wish remains...
Maybe for Christmas ?
I have also another request (see a few topics below) to choose the target transfer window for "F2 Queue" from copy or move dialog.
Thanks for all your work (been a user for decades now !).

OK, I will allow to enter it via URL button in the form pause:10000 for 10 seconds (10000 milliseconds).

choose the target transfer window for "F2 Queue"

You can already do this: Instead of using F5 - F2, press the "+" button of the background transfer manager to which you want to add the files, and then choose "Add selected items for copying" or "Add selected items for moving".

[PascalT]

Yes I know this.
But I use F5/F2 especially to be able to quickly choose a target sub-directory of the current target tc window with the drop down menu of the top field of the F5 window. This way of choosing a target sub-directory without entering it is a great feature. '+' menu doesn't allow to do this.
So being able to target the last focused transfer manager window an not the last created would be great.

Thanks for the the new pause item in the transfer manager. Maybe allowing to enter it without parameter for infinite pause could be useful.
