            Bug ID: 462543
           Summary: Enqueue copy or other file actions
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: renyuneyun at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Currently, when copying files (or performing other relevant file actions),
multiple tasks are executed concurrently: select a range of files and paste
will result in task A, and selecting and copying other files will result in
task B, which are executed in concurrent.

In many cases, this does not make sense, or even lower the eventual time
require -- disks have their maximum speed capacity, and changing between and
seeking different files wastes more.

Of course, this is not always the case, such as between multiple pairs of
devices in parallel.

Therefore, it would be ideal if the user is allowed to enqueue the operation,
so they are performed sequentially. Currently there is the pause mechanism, but
it won't resume when the previous task is done.
It would also be great if the queue can be modified afterwards when needed,
particularly if the queue is long.
