handling multiple background transfer manager windows
Posted: 2010-05-07, 05:26 UTC
I often use multiple BTM windows. Using the + button to add operations to the the BTM window is annoying because it requires very much mouse movement and many clicks. I can't use the F2 Queue button because it seems to send operations only to the BTM window which was created at last.
My ideas for improvement:
- F2 Queue button adds a job to the BTM window which was most recently active (had focus).
- allow Drag & Drop on the BTM windows: It could work like the usual Drag & Drop to copy/move from the source to the taget window except that the mouse button will be released on one of the BTM windows. Left mouse button will copy, left + right will move the selected file(s) to the path of the current target window. This is an easy way to let the user choose the desired BTM window.
