Deleting in a queue

Post by *Calvin555 »

Deleting in a queue. Very useful, when you need, for example, delete a lot of files from flash or hard drive and then write to it a lot of files. Simultaneously two operations will slow down each other. So you need to wait for deletion to end, instead of putting deletion and copying in a queue and go to have a cup of coffee :)
Also it will be useful to do background operations for creating and verifying CRC - they are rather slow processes.

Support this.
While this is not realized I suggest you to use move into temp folder instead of deleting - so you may use BTM for operations with flash drive.

Any chance of getting this? I know it was suggested over a decade ago...

It's very dangerous. Imagine that you add file text.txt for copying to 20 different computers on the net, and at the end for deleting.

Now what happens when the computer cannot access the network? The file doesn't get copied, but it still gets deleted. So the data is gone.

But its not TC's job to prevent users from doing stupid things.
I guess most users can live with such a risk and benefit from the delete queue.

It's not stupid! There is a legitimate usage case, e.g. you need to put a specific updated file on all the computers in the company.

Stupid is in this case to add an delete entry in the queue.
