Looks like you can even do it on groups of files... you could make it queue by using the * or do all operations concurrently using '?' (look at the docs for dired-do-shell-command). After hitting '!' on the file of interest I entered 'cp ? c:/temp &' and it worked just fine. Not sure how well it would work with tramp though since my guess is it just uses the relative path of the file and not the abosulte path. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Probably no ? i guess, as elisp doesn't support multithread. -- William ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Maybe its easier to understand what I mean if I explain how I would like it to work: - I mark a number of large files to be moved to another disk, which takes time. - dired puts the moves on a queue, and makes a "progress buffer" showing how far each move or copy has progressed. (this would look something like wget.el:s progress buffer) - each move or copy is done in the background with cp or mv shell commands, so emacs is not locked - Im now free to add more moves or copys to the queue by direding some other directory Ideally the same interface would be used for remote operations, with tramp or something. Sounds doable. Has it been done? -- Joakim Verona www.verona.se ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
