GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 124783
Allow a queue for file operations
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:55:58 UTC
Sometimes copying over network takes long time. Therefore it is nice to start copying some files even when you know you haven't selected all files you'll copy this time. It would be nice to have only one "Copying files" dialog for files from same source. So dragging files from folder to "Copying files" dialog should be possible. What I want is that dropping files to copying dialog queues those files to end of copy queue.
ccessibility is the wrong component. I am chaning it to File and Folder Operations.

Also I would add that if files are dragged to a device and then other files are dragged a second time to the same device i.e. a usb thumbdrive, file operations should queue the new drags instead of trying to copy them at the same time. Sequential copy usually boost write speed on thumbdrives and/or external HD's, although not sure for internal drives or Raid's which actually could benefit from parallel copy operations. By the way it can be implemented only on removable media.

Would love to see this. On many types of media (slow HDDs, optical media, cheap flash memory, remote folders, etc.), concurrent access will kill performance/throughput. I'm not sure why we need two bug reports for this though (bug #303160 being marked as depending on this from the same product and component). Could we tag this gnome-love or is it considered too complex technically speaking?

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
