Hello,
I use to manually select sets of quite large files from long, multi-folder lists to copy them from one disk to another.
I find the new BC3 feature that makes it possible to continue working with the current comparison session while copying proceeds very useful, as I can:
There is, however, a drawback: when using this approach, file copy threads overlap and, since source and destination disks used by the different threads are always the same, I/O performance is really poor, and the time required by running 2 or more copy operations in parallel is much longer than the time it would take to run them sequentially.
So my question is: is there a way to push copy requests in a “queue”, so as one copy starts when the previous one completes?

- Select some files
- Launch the copy
- While copy runs in background, I can select a new set of files: no need to wait, no risk of losing my previous selection if I accidentally lift the finger from the ctrl key.
