I don't think that I'm asking the wrong people. I talk about fileoperations 
like this example:
1. action
mv /home/user/FILE1 /media/externHD/FILE1

2. action
mv /home/user/something/FILE2 /media/externHD/FILE2

mv is only for explain the operation. I mean mv is done in the Desktop 
Environment, not in the shell.

The second action should be in this queue because it's an operation on the 
same hd. At the moment it would be started two instances of moving the files 
and it is slower than waiting for the end of action one.
