Deleting in a queue
Deleting in a queue. Very useful, when you need, for example, delete a lot of files from flash or hard drive and then write to it a lot of files. Simultaneously two operations will slow down each other. So you need to wait for deletion to end, instead of putting deletion and copying in a queue and go to have a cup of coffee
Also it will be useful to do background operations for creating and verifying CRC - they are rather slow processes.

It's very dangerous. Imagine that you add file text.txt for copying to 20 different computers on the net, and at the end for deleting.
Now what happens when the computer cannot access the network? The file doesn't get copied, but it still gets deleted. So the data is gone.

I guess most users can live with such a risk and benefit from the delete queue.

It's not stupid! There is a legitimate usage case, e.g. you need to put a specific updated file on all the computers in the company.

Stupid is in this case to add an delete entry in the queue.ghisler(Author) wrote:It's not stupid! There is a legitimate usage case, e.g. you need to put a specific updated file on all the computers in the company.
