I really like it, it is easy, but.. what about multiple operations at the same time?

I agree, but this is a nuance already and does not change interface concept as a whole.
I think,
v1.2a really represents what I want (and I guess most others too).
The structure is the same (and best, I think). I'll
sum up a conception:
mini mode
always visible single line in bottom, which indicates selected by user process in queue box (or process #1, if nothing selected).
The "from/to" info - via tooltip upon this line. The line is unactive, if there are no operations.
expanded mode (toggles with a single click, dynamically scaling)
it is a table style interface, supports drag'n'drop (for order change) and double clicks (for modify parameters like speed limit/priority, or destination - if not started yet).
The file manager should not allow user to drag "delete/move" operations with defined files/folders before any other operations with it.
This table gives us full info about each process at ones in one TC window.
User should be able to customize content of the table (columns) to his needs.
User can start/pause any queued process manually (by clicking on icon to the left in the box), but ONLY
end of 1st process automatically starts next. The deletion of an operation - delete key/"delete" button on function key tab with a conformation window (optional).
Users should no longer be confused with multiple interpretations of copy/move windows with the lack of process info and not forced to decide each time to start operation, or send it to queue.
PS: I used some graphics from other great progs such as Firefox, XnView, Excel and Explorer:) (and of course TC) and do not mean it must look its way, I just used it to get a sketch of a concept.
