Copying / Moving in background - suggestions
Posted: 22.07.2012, 19:53
I have already suggested similar suggestions, but they are more actual, since copying/moving in background is working good now. (I couldn't find that topic)
When copying/moving with option auto-minimize enabled, there is no indicator that the operation is working in background.
Please add at least some of these, if possible:
1. Add the text "copy/move" in title bar.
2. Add also the % or/and time in title bar (e.g. "23% 3 sec. remaining | Copying freecommander.exe).
3. Display the small window with the basic info in the top-right edge of the screen, if possible, add more lines for any additional copy/move operation (perhaps more information like full path of original and destination file as tooltip), e.g.:
It would be useful to save position on screen for this dialog - and it should be always on top.
3b. Perhaps this might be added a single button / option to toggle between large (current) window - and small (mini) window in the corner, it would be saved on exit, and it could be changed to large window anytime with that button.
Example of the suggestion:
3c. Easiest way would be to save size and position of the current window and add always on top option (saved on exit).
4. Option to display a dialog on successful operation, for large files only, or for long operations only, e.g. more than 1 min. / more than 20 files / more than 100 MB, perhaps customizable.
5. Change the splitter copy/move icon state to the same icon with the blue background (as the view icon), to identify the copy/move operation is running.
Perhaps change the background to red on error and to green on successful operation.
Thanks.
Edit:
6. When moving/deleting multiple files, if the file in the middle is in use, then copy all other files and show the confirm dialog with the buttons RETRY, SKIP, CANCEL (and option to do the same for the other items).
Similar behavior for copy/move/delete the files "read only", "system" or "hidden" files and folders. First process the "free" files, then allow to process all others with a single click.
Perhaps even better - if possible, first check the files (whether they are in use, or read only, system...), then show the dialog with the options (retry, skip...), and then process all the files at once. Don't know if this would be too slow.
