Stack Dialog For Background Copy #4

Open iinegve opened 11 years ago

Another improvement for background copying would be to implement ability to put different background copying threads to stack. That would reduce disk pressure and improve overall performance (might be even let the drive live long happy live).

It can be done by building separate dialog window and put there list of files currently being in copying / moving / deleting. Switch from standard dialog to new one could be don by F2 key.

New dialog must have ability to be suspended.

My proposal is to simplify Copy Dialog and add one more so called Stack Copy Dialog. Which would be the new Copy Dialog with amended list of files is being copied. At the same time Copy Dialog must have additional button called "Stack" to move its task to Stack Copy Dialog. During such a movement, task must be paused and continue working only it its turn in Stack Copy Dialog.

Some pictures old and new Copy Dialog and possible List of files in Stack Copy Dialog. copying-dialog-prototype

Files that has been already copied must have been kicked out of the list of Stack Copy Dialog.
