SUMMARY
* These are my ideas/wishlist over the whole process of copying mechanism in
Dolphin file manager.


EXPECTED RESULT


A) Copying process (KDE copy) wishlist to be overhauled
‣ In addition to pause, retry, skip....‣ If several copy instances are going
on, • the option for merging the different windows into one or detaching
from... (mate desktop copying is good example here)

‣ Whether to follow and copy symbolic-links or simply to copy it as it is
‣ The option (play/pause icon) for scheduling copying one after the other
instead of copying in parallel.
• this should come with an option to prioritize among multiple copying, while
ordering at one time.
• the shceduling will enable e.g. a serial copying instead of parallel copying
thus to achieve best speed. or even leaving the parallel copying as a default
setting, but with the possibility to schedule a copy after the first instance
of a copy going is finished.

‣ Checksum method options availability (sha1, shasum256, etc)....when found two
files/directories are found to be similar during copying
• This happens when dolphin copy dialog box informs you of finding two similar
files and asks what to do, thus enabling to compare on shasum of the different
protocols.

‣ The possibility to chose what copy protocol to use defined some where in
Dolphin Settings or within the copy window option.
• e.g. rsync
• cp
• scp
• etc....


‣ Detailed problem reporting when a problem is found during copying
• why is it not copying should give some needed information
∘ e.g. for a network copying.
• The detailed information should be summarized and placed at lower/bottom part
of the copy window. this can be useful where I left the copy dialog with "Auto
skip All" and wanted a summary of what was left out while I was away. 


‣ Window geometry should be flexible for resize or accustom to current window
settings. 
‣  copying for networking to specialize too.
• e.g. there is no "auto skip" option for a networked (samba) copying.


∘ B) Split window upto limited numbers
‣ it should have more than two ----even making horizontal split 
• this is sometimes important when you want to work with three or more similar
folders in splitted windows.

∘ C) Dolphin Terminal
‣ should not be limited to Kshell terminal emulator only.
• It should be configurable to another type (known/workable) Terminal emulators
in the absence of (not default) Kshell).
∘
