TC7.0+: F5/F6 long name ask can't be suppress before start

[DuckDaffy]

Really annoying "bug" for long years.

PRELUDE:
I'm working with hundreds GB of data and every repeat eat a hours of time, so please understand my proposal, thank you.

BASIC version:
When I start moving a lot of files over night and I going to sleep, after a few GB TC stops and waiting for some user input till morning. Wasted electricity and time...
I never confirm to "do not copy" these long file name files, everytime I know what I'm doing. Everytime I selected "All" in this dialog and waiting again.

Even when there are 1000x ~1kB short name files and only 1x 120GB long name file then solution with "do all and move warnings to the end" will not work effectively.

Similar (already covered) problem is "Overwrite/Delete read only/hidden/system" files so please add similar checkbox also for "long names", thank you!


EXTEND version:
Generally - please ADD EVERYWHERE in TC choice to SUPPRESS ALL WARNINGS and do maximum of work WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. Thank you!
So I suggest to improve F5/F6/sync/other dialogs for great unattended mode.

What troubles can be covered with unattended mode:
* Long file names.
* Shift+DEL for delete all R/H/S files.
* Synchronizing dirs breaks.
* Read errors.
* Verify errors!
* Administrator rights request during work.
* Write errors with files >4GB placed to FAT32 drive, will be nice to check this case when scanning directories on start.
* All will work for F2 queue.

After F5/F6/sync/other work was done then I welcome some log with all issues/warnings (like CRC results window) and their results.
Will be nice some filtering for different type of events (for ex. for read error), but let it be in future versions.

For now I only need to add some options to suppress all warnings (unattended mode), this must be easy.

F5/F6/sync/other unattended mode dialog extension options - GUI suggestion:

HELP:
Please suggest places and situations in TC where will be this unattended mode usable, I probably forgot some, I will add it here, thank you.

You can integrate FastCopy into TC.
Among its many options it allows also to make Non Stop jobs.

Thank you for workaround suggestion, I hope once TC will implement suggested solution.

F5 - Enter will show warnings only during first 5 seconds, or then at the end. F5 - F2 cannot do that because the queue tells TC exactly in which order it has to copy the files.

1. Thank you, I understand, but all these situations can solve this concept and make true unstoppable workflow.

2. What about checkbox for "long names" in F5/F6 dialogs? Can you add this in next beta please?

3. Did you spent some time with analysis of my GUI prototype? Is it well designed? I did my best, but found some improvements later, like what to do after repeat fails.

I think it's too complex for the common user, sorry.

The question for me is if the setting for copying file very long names is only a general option as it is now or should also be provided also as a per copy setting (in the extended copy settings).

Exactly, it is really annoying when TC ask me in the middle of F2 queue, thank you! Adding simple checkbox like "skip long names ask" must be easy.
