Total Commander

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.

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

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.

Geez, I never knew that was there.. I guess TC has too many features now (JK)
