background copying process back to foreground

[kotlomoy]

Is it possible to move background copying process back to foreground?

I want to move already started background copying to queue

Support!

Hi.

To the best of my memory, Christian has explained before somewhere that a background thread cannot be converted back to a foreground task.

Background thread cannot be converted, ok. But it is not necessary to convert something. It's necessary to break copying, close thread, then continue copying of remaining files (not yet copied or even partially copied) in foreground or add this task to queue.

P.S. About partially copying: it is not yet possible in TC, as I know, but may be will be?

P.S. Similar suggestion: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=140094#140094

Just found this thread: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=15928
F2 is workaround but not solution

I'm support kotlomoy too!

I suggest to add a button for all background copy processes:
-with text "Create a queue" if currently no running queue;
-with text "Add to queue" if it's running.

IMHO, the whole concept of foreground/background tasks needs redesign. If Christian set his mind to it, i'm sure he'll find a better way to handle things than what exists now.

As it is now, there are some tasks that can be set to background but not return to foreground or go to the background queue, other tasks cannot go to background at all, etc. The way things work is simply inconsistent. My guess though is that there are so many things in Christian's TODO list that this will not change any time soon...
