Yes, nice one. When the process is returned to foreground though, it would be nice if F2 worked too, in order to pass it to background queue (i'm not sure if it's happening now). It might also be nice if while in background mode, F2 worked and passed the background window to the queue.

Unortunately it's not possible, because some other dialog could be in the foreground now, or user could click this for two background threads...

Well, that's reasonable .ghisler(Author) wrote:Unortunately it's not possible, because some other dialog could be in the foreground now, or user could click this for two background threads...
But I think it can only restore the windows user click.
If more 2 threads existing , then TC should disable those restore buttons.

I have set as default AlwaysCopyInBackground=1 in my INI. Sometimes i start a copy of a large file and before it finishes, i realize i want to copy more files. In that case (and in order for my PC not to become extra slow), i have either to abort the copy and start all of them using F2 or wait for the first copy to finish and then start the rest with F2. It's a little annoying. I have seen that TC7 has AlwaysCopyInBackground=2 but i don't like having such a large window open for copy tasks all the time.Hacker wrote:What should this be actually useful for?

I wish the background manager window could somehow be "injected" inside TC's main window. Perhaps in an extra tabs row or something...

Hmmm. I wonder... What if a new option existed, something like vertical tabs at the left of the window, or something like the vertical button-selection bar MSOutlook has. Some of the tabs options could be: file manager (TC's current look), synchronize dirs, search, and any other option that currently opens a separate window in TC (which BTW is modal at the moment).wanderer wrote:I wish the background manager window could somehow be "injected" inside TC's main window.

I still don't understand how bringing a background copy back to foreground would solve your problem. You would still either have to wait or cancel the copy process if you want to copy the additional files.Sometimes i start a copy of a large file and before it finishes, i realize i want to copy more files. In that case (and in order for my PC not to become extra slow), i have either to abort the copy and start all of them using F2 or wait for the first copy to finish and then start the rest with F2.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

1. send it to background manager and add the other files immediatelly.
2. bring it to foreground and then perform (1).

How? There are only the Cancel and Background buttons, neither of which sends the copy process to the BTM.send it to background manager

Sorry for the delay but an HDD crash can easily disorganize you.
That's what i'm asking. A way to send it to background manager. Either make F2 work from that window or add a new button (send to BG manager).

Re: Suggestion about Background Copy/Move
How did you create this lovely image? I use photoshop, badly, and my images look like crap (although I do think I get my point across most of the time). Having images like these would be a lot better.Bushi wrote:Image: http://blog.21softs.com/attachment/1163253018_0.gif
