Idea #12342: Clean Up Multiple File Transfers

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #356: Copy / Move File Queue.
Written by carickw the 19 Aug 08 at 13:18. Category: System. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
When you move a file, and while that one is still being moved you move another, the file transfer window shows a progress bar for each file. However, when you Ctrl+Click to select multiple items and move them at the same time there is one progress bar that says "Copying x files..." where x is the number of files that havent completed yet. This could be (i believe) simply changed to Copying File 1... |=== |; Copying File 2... |== |, etc

Also, when i copied two files using ctrl+click about half way through it changed to Copying 1 File (both files about the same size), so i thought they must have been copied sequentially, while when you copy individual files they copy simultaneously. I think which ever is faster should be implemented for both methods of copying multiple files.

If you copy 2 files on the same time, from the same disk to the same other disk, you will divide the rate AND loose a bit of it because it needs to be modulated/demodulated and change the writing "pointer"'s location very often. (on a disk, this is the head.

so, I'd rather see the movings on the same way sequenced, one after the other. it should be a bit faster (or if it's from a CD a lot faster).
