XYplorer Beta Club
Hi,
Would it be posstible to add a copy queue to XYplorer?
The problem is, when I copy a large amount of files, the default copy functionality is: start a thread for each copy.
The result being that multiple copy threads from or to the same drive slow down the other copy threads due to drive seeks.
It would be really handy to just be able to queue them.
Kind Regards
Copy Queue

Re: Copy Queue
Hi,
just to be sure: is "copy queue" is specific technical term or do you just mean a kind of a data bucket (like a file list) that you add to up one by one and finally do some operation (like copy) on?
What other file managers can do this?

Propobly just in terms like work list. I also move alot of large files from different hdd sources so a filebrowser to have usefull value for me over standard windows explorer is options like tabing and cue list. Ideal copy queue for me is one that allows me to copy from multiple sources and when it notices that files have same destination HDD it transfers them one by one.

I think XY would have to actually do the file operations by itself to do such things; which would be cool 
but probably aint hapenning (for now).
What XY could do is, not start the copy/move operations when it's told to, but actually only create a queue of files to cope/move. And when you're done, click on a button to start the process. Then XY could have "sorted" the operations and made a list per disk or such, to start 2 or more process according to how many disks are involved....
But that'd be quite hard, as C:\ & D:\ are 2 differents disks, yet can be on the same physical drive so should probably be treated as the same one...
btw, if you can deal with french I recently came accross this little free french soft : SuperCopier
It will replace the usual windows file operations (copy/move). Allow you to see the file listing in the queue, to pause an operation, and it can be set up so when another operation is started, it will not start another process but instead add the files to the existing queue list.
I haven't tested it that much, but it seems to work fine. Last stable release is v1.35 @ http://supercopier.sfxteam.org/modules/mydownloads/
