Nemo: Copy/move/delete task prioritization

Created on 2 Dec 2015  ·  6Comments  ·  Source: linuxmint/nemo

So when I'm copying/moving a large amount of files in one batch, and then if in the meanwhile I start to delete/move/copy a single small file it should execute that task right away, but now it waits for the first task to complete, and only then it will start the second one however small it is.

Maybe one cool way to implement this is first to implement the pause feature, and then when a new task is added to the queue it is first paused all until the other tasks in front of it are completed or if the user explicitly unpauses the task. What do you think?

new task is added to the queue it is first paused
...or if the user explicitly unpauses the task

agreed...

seems a good enhancement to me.

A pause button would be a welcome addition and is nowadays a common feature of desktop environments. It's quite common, for example, that I am downloading a load of stuff, which saturates my internet connection, and then want to do something else which requires the network. Having no recourse but to cancel the download is very frustrating.
