Job bar, not separating jobs

Help & Support
1

I have the jobs bar always enabled, because I don't like the lister layout moving around and I use a single lister in day to day usage, I guess that's why I never noticed the following:

As mentioned, I was sorting a lot of photos and opened two listers to start a move/convert job here and to be able to prepare and run another move/convert job in the other lister. After a while I realized, that both listers show all the jobs in progress, regardless of what lister it was launched from and since the move/convert operation dialog does not give a clue about what paths are involved (the dialog is very basic, not the regular copy/move dialog), it seemed to me I don't get any advantage from using two listers, I was not able to distinguish between an operation I trigged in lister#1 or lister#2 or which one finished first.

I was using two listers for another reason, I move/convert photos with a button, which selects jpgs first (from all the files I selected), then moves/converts other files from the initial selection (raws/movies etc.).
I cannot switch tabs in a single lister while this button is doing its job as it messes up the progress/reselection etc..

tl;dr;
Is there a way to have the jobs bar display only the jobs triggered from the lister it resides in?

What would happen to those jobs if you closed that Lister?

They pop out of the closed jobs bar into regular progress windows?
I don't know. o)
What happens if I don't have the jobs bar enabled and close a lister with a running job?
The progress dialogs probably simply remain opened until done, right?

My question wasn't a challenge, I wanted to know what you would want to happen to them (since this is your feature request after all) :slight_smile:

Not sure this is a feature request yet, If you can confirm that every lister shows every job running and there is no way to toggle behaviour somehwere, then yes, this will be a feature request. o)

I see multiple listers as a multi desktop setup, kind of.
So I don't want things from lister#1/desktop#1 to appear in lister#2/desktop#2, just like linux or desktop managers keep windows and things separated.

At the moment the jobs bars all show the same thing, yes.
