Description Kalsan 2011-06-26 15:18:48 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Windows 7 brought a great new idea for copying / moving files: If the system needs the user's attention (e.g. asking for replacing files / showing an error message such as file doesn't exist etc.), it queues all files in question and continues the work with the obvious ones while the dialogue is displayed. That way, if the user is absent, the copy progress is not interrupted by some stupid detail question (one file to replace for example), and the major part of the work is done when the user comes back. After dealing with the messages, the rest of the progress often takes few time, as in most cases, those messages concern a minority of the files in a copy order.
It would be great if Kubuntu could do that as well.

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
Copy everything there is to copy without asking, then wait for user to confirm the steps to do with the rest of the files (as described above)
