Copy jobs queue - feature request

I have a little feature request to make for the copy dialog. I often find myself going through several directories and copying fairly large files from there onto external hard drives. Now, if I initiate another copy job while a previous one is still working, I end up with two or more active jobs. What, I think, would be really useful, is the ability to be able to pause and unpause copy jobs that were previously added to the queue. Also, a setting to specify how many copy jobs can be active at any given time would be really neat. Once one of the active jobs finishes, the next in line of the paused ones gets unpaused and so on.

Does that sound worth implementing to you?

Keep up the good work!

Pause copy operations and support for queued copies (configurable) is already available in thunar 4.15.3 (dev-release) .. though in a few days as well thunar-4.16.0 will be released.

For more details, check #294 (closed), !1 (merged), 4e7016a3 and related issues, MR, etc.

There is no setting to control a maximum number of parallel copies yet, however it is possible select between: "always parallel", "only local parallel", "only local on same device parallel", "never parallel". Please first take a try for it. If you than feel that the number of possible parallel copies needs to be restricted, please open a dedicated issue!
