Make nautilus queue file operations

[DToNAToR]

When I try to copy a file to some place and then try to copy another to the same place while the first one is still being copied, I want nautilus to queue the second process instead of driving the disk crazy with unnecessary disk operations ...

How do I do that?

[Awalton]

We currently do not support queuing file operations. So the answer is "You patch libnautilus/nautilus-file-operations.[ch] to do this, then post the patch on GNOME bugzilla or the nautilus mailing list for review."

anybody know of any tool that will do queued copying?

[wolfie2x]

just tried this tool and it works nicely for queued copying of files..

I cant believe that this still hasn't been implemented yet.
There are thousands of votes on Brainstorm for this!
Even Windows has this functionality! (3rd party app naturally.. at this point i'm convinced that a basic install of Windows is USELESS)
But i digress.. Please dev team, we all want built in File Operations queue system. Please?

Bumpity.

Ububtu 9.10 is out now with more on the Horizon. Is it time yet?

I'm currently looking for a replacement to nautilus for this very reason.

any news on this one?

BUMP! Anyone found a good solution for this yet?

[OpenTangent]

Is there some kind of technical problem with implementing this? Is it that developers just don't need to queue copy operations for whatever reason? I don't understand why this would not be a standard feature by now.

I'd rather find a solution that can be incorporated into Nautilus, but here's a few alternative file copiers that have queuing.

Wow, it's just incomprehensible why this hast not been implemented jet.

[Deichscheich]

half a year later ... still waiting for someone to explain why this is so damn hard to implement. I always feel ungrateful when asking this, since I have no coding exp myself, but seriously, this feature would warrant a complete re-write of nautilus if it is impossible to do with the current code base.

Just my 2cents : dolphin (file browser from KDE) has pause but not queue management, though.

Still, it's a big part of what made me switch to Kubuntu. :KS

I remember voting for it in ubuntu brainstorm, can't find it now ; well, if you find it, I trust you can get a snippet of the idea to embed on your blog/whatever and lobby for it !
