I often find that I need to copy a number of large files to my NAS, from multiple locations.
In order not to wait for each copy to complete, I use background option, but as I pile on the copy tasks, they all run in parallel and seem to slow down a bit overall.
I would really love a function like "Add to background queue" so the files get copied in serial instead of parallel.
It would probably also be better for the disk heads.

Re: File copy queue
You can use the background transfer manager: F5 - F2. Just use this multiple times, and the files will all be queued.

Re: File copy queue
Just use the already existing Background Transfer Manager of TC which is made for this ( Commands - Background Transfer Manager )

Yes, it will. AlwaysCopyInBackground refers to F5 and ENTER, not F5/F6 and F2. I don't have AlwaysCopyInBackground in my wincmd.ini at all, so it uses its default value of 0. But I've been using F5/F6 and F2 for many years now to queue copy/move operations in BTM.
