Bug ID: 515790
Summary: Suggestion- Save File Copy Dialog position, size,
expansion, desktop & use for next process, don't steal
focus
Classification: Applications
Product: krusader

Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux

SUMMARY
One thing that I've always found to be a slight annoyance is that when using
job queuing in krusader, every file copy / move window resets for every job.
This is especially cumbersome when I do a large number of copies, such as when
backing up end of month data to multiple external drives for archiving. Making
it worse is that the new jobs pop up on whatever desktop you happen to be on
and steal the focus. I could be coding, typing in a web browser, or watching a
video and suddenly get a file copy dialog pop up in front of me. Similarly, if
there is *any* problem when copying whether someone bumps a USB cable, network
goes offline, target fills, there are conflicts that you have to resolve, etc,
you're presented with information about the error with focus being in the
dialog. This is rather bad when actively typing or using the mouse as you can
unintentionally activate controls on the file manipulation dialog. If there is
any error or input required, the same thing happens.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn on job queuing mode.
2. Start copying a large file / number of files.
3. Repeat, allowing the second copy to queue.
4. Do something else with the machine.
5. Watch the file copy dialog for the second one pop up over whatever you're
doing the instant the first one ends.
6. Move, resize, and expand the details every single time you copy a set of
files because this state information is not saved.
OBSERVED RESULT
How krusader has always worked - each file copy pops up it's own status window,
always in the center of whatever desktop you happen to be on with the same
dimensions and with the details collapsed.
EXPECTED RESULT
It would be nice for krusader to save the file copy dialog properties -
position, size, expanded details, and desktop - and reuse this for future
dialog boxes.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Krusader has always operated how it does now back to when I was using Ubuntu
10.04.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is really a suggestion for improvement rather than a bug.
