Don't interrupt copy process for user interaction
Status:
RESOLVED: MOVED

Description Alexandra 2015-04-28 15:37:10 CEST
Copying or moving files will be interrupted when there's a user interaction required, for example to decide whether a file should overwritten etc.

I propose to continue copying/moving files in the background which definitely do not need a user interaction.

Why I think this could be useful, an example:
Someone wants to copy a lot of files which will take a lot of time.
So he starts the process and leaves the computer doing his work.
When he comes back after a while he may find that copy process is still at the very beginning, interrupted by one single duplicate file name - which is annoying.

I'd also suggest not to display each message (duplicate file etc.) in their own window but all dynamically and clearly structured in one single message window.

Kind regards
