--- Comment #29 from John <[email protected]> ---
I've been waiting for this for quite a long time too as I'm tired of having to
always check or wait for a transfer to finish so I can start another one.
It would be great if I could just copy or move lots of folders and files one
after another and just the first one to be started and the rest to be queued.
There are still 10 or more years to wait until more people will have only
SSD-based external drives that will allow parallel at good speeds.
And with what AI is doing to the prices of RAM and storage, we might need to
wait even more, so the queuing of disk operations is even more important to
have.

I assume it can even be implemented in steps, like:
1. If a transfer (copy or move) to destination X folder is already ongoing (in
progress) the enqueue the next one and the next one and so on, if their target
is the same destination X folder.
2. If a transfer (copy or move) to destination X folder, on drive Y is already
ongoing (in progress) the enqueue the next one and the next one and so on, if
their target is the same drive Y.
I think case 2 is harder to implement as the detection of the drive could be
not easy when the drive is encrypted, mounted, symlinked, BTRFS subvolume, etc.

But at the moment, if case 2 is too daunting to tackle from the beginning,
maybe we can can have case 1 implemented with the same destination folder.
