Handling of long operations
Posted: Fri Apr 23, 2021 1:29 pm
Hi Mike
When I leave a long running operation running I often find myself returning to my computer hours later and notice there was an error on one file which paused the whole operation (as per murphy's law it was exactly the file that was copied the moment you went out of room). I would rather have it continue with everything else so after I click away the error message it is finished.
It would be quite easy, just make a task queue where all the selected files to be operated on are put in, when one fails, take it out of the execution queue and put it at the end.
Also another benefit of the queue, sometimes I want to copy a file whose destination has not enough space left until the other operation before it has completed and the queue is the best way to do that.
I hope you understand that the current situation is quite annoying.
Best regards
