File operations - add to queue?

Hello!

Since I do lots of concurrent file copying when I sort out my data folders (quite often), I use CopyHandler to add the file operations to a queue and execute them in a sequence instead of all together, which slows everything down (more CPU resources, disk heads going to and forth etc).

I was wondering if there's such a functionality possible with DO?

No. A copy queue is on the to-do list for some future version but that's all we know so far.

You can integrate TeraCopy with Opus fairly well. See the buttons & toolbrs forum.

Thanks for letting me know!

But - ah, TC is a paid-for program, and at a pricey €15, too, not really worth it...

Maybe CopyHandler can do the same thing. I've never looked at it. There's no explicit hooks between Opus and TeraCopy; all it is is some buttons which send commands to TeraCopy via the command-line and/or TeraCopy's shell extension context menus. TeraCopy has been written in a way which makes it suitable for such use, and people seem to like it a lot, but maybe other things can do something similar.

The way CH works is really simple, easy and convenient - it either monitors the clipboard and takes over when you copy or cut a file, or it can add a shell extension (CH Copy/Move here instead of Copy/Move here). So I think it's a bit difficult to replicate this within DO.

Oh well, I'll just wait for that future version instead, I just hope it does materialize because I think it's quite important as a feature...

The CH extension should work within Opus in that case.

Er... duh. Yes, I was thinking of something else, sorry! Of course the shell extension works - that's how I'm using it now -, I just hoped it was a DO integrated function :slight_smile:
